A little pricey but amazing sound. My living room is 20x15 with seating about 12' away from the TV and this bar fills the room. Had an issue with the S-Center connection and couldn't fix it until i bought a $10 ground loop isolator on amazon. Kind of annoying

After 2 months, it stopped working. Randomly disconnects, volume leveling is off, and could not adjust volume via tv remote. Tried a new hdmi cable, resetting, deleting cache, fiddling with different settings and it just continued to get worse. This was not my first choice for soundbar but I was given a deal with purchase of a tv.

I spent over $1,200 on the soundbar, rear speakers, and the subwoofer. So far, not impressed. The sound is great...when it works. So far, I've had to replace the HDMI cable and it just randomly does not turn on when the TV is turned on. I then have to spend 10 minutes trying to figure out what is wrong. I can't get the menu to appear on my TV so I just randomly push buttons until I get sound. For a $600 sound bar, I had much higher expectations. One more non-start and it's all going back.

Purchased 14 months ago. Worked without issue until it got stuck in a boot loop and failed to connect to my TV. Since it's just past the warranty date I can't return and the repair quote was as much as buying it new. Sony is just a name with no quality to back it up.

Hi Karl,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the HTA3000. We're glad that you had an easy time setting it up. It's unfortunate that you are not completely satisfied with the sound quality of the soundbar.
For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the soundbar is up-to-date. Please refer to this link for more information:
Depending on the combination of the setting of SOUND FIELD and input signal, surround sound processing may not work effectively. The surround effect may be subtle, depending on the program or disc.
Aside from the optional subwoofer or rear speakers, you can also adjust the sound settings of the soundbar to tailor-fit the sound quality to your needs. You may refer to this link for more information (refer to "Adjusting the Sound and Volume Quality"):
Hope this helps. In case you need further assistance, please email us at [email protected] with the following details:

I purchased the Sound Bar without remote speakers. Connected it to the HDMI ARC my Sony XBR49X900E TV. When trying to
sync the voice to the picture using the sound bar settings I can make it worse. Seems like it needs a setting below 0. When Watching Netflix then returning to TV I have to reset the input to Cable.

Hi JPDIII, Thank you for reaching out to us. We're sorry to hear some issues that you are experiencing with your soundbar when connected to your Sony TV. A time gap between the sound and picture may occur depending on the sound source.

You may check these links below for with solutions on if audio and video are out of sync or there's an audio delay: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/televisions-projectors-lcd-tvs-android-/xbr-49x900e/articles/00026069 https://helpguide.sony.net/ht/a3000/v1/en/contents/TP1000525530.html?search=delay

Good for dialogue but can’t compete with Sonos beam gen 2 or Bose 600. Both the later have better dialogue and produce better realism watching movies. And as a side not I tested the HT A 3000 on a Sony A80 J Bravia. So save your money and buy either the Sonos or the Bose you won’t be disappointed

Hi Greg, we regret that the HTA3000 did not meet your expectations. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have. We'd love to help you troubleshoot your problem and turn your experience around.
You can make the Dialogs Clearer (VOICE). Press the VOICE to select the setting. The setting appears in the front panel display.
[Vo.ON]: Dialog is easily heard by enhancing dialog range. [Vo.OFF]: Deactivates the voice mode function.
Note: When the BLUETOOTH device is connected in BLUETOOTH transmission mode, the voice mode is disabled. Ref:https://helpguide.sony.net/ht/a3000/v1/en/contents/TP1000525176.html
