Posted .Hi Carol,
Amazing! We're glad that you like the sound quality and user-friendly functions of the soundbar. With your new Sony HT-A3000 soundbar, you will get the full effect of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X with Sony’s Vertical Surround Engine, S-Force PRO Front Surround and 360 Spatial Sound Mapping. Thanks to Sony’s virtual surround technology, this soundbar can position sound in vertical space – so you can experience 3D audio without the need for in-ceiling or up-firing speakers. As well as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, Vertical Surround Engine lends a more realistic, multi-dimensional sound to other formats too. It also supports 360 Reality Audio, which puts you in the middle of the concert, studio session, or whatever you’re listening to, for a totally immersive experience. Thanks for choosing Sony!

Center Speaker Issue with Bravia XR
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to pair with the Bravia XR X90K 4K, because of the Center Speaker option with the TV is only compatible with Sony Soundbars. When connected, there is a lot of fuzzy noise coming from the TV that can be easily heard from across the room. I contacted tech support and long story short, the motherboard on the TV needs to be replaced. Checking online, this has been a known issue for a few years, and Sony continued to manufacture and sell TVs with bad hardware, and they haven't issued a recall. Because I purchased the TV 1 year and two weeks ago, it is no longer under warranty. I cannot believe that Sony would knowingly sell TVs with bad hardware and I can'y believe that they would continue marketing the center speaker mode knowing it would not work. While my TV may not be under warranty, I can still return the soundbar and surround speakers, and I can give my money to another company. Do not buy this item if you want Center Speaker Mode.

Descent Soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased a Sony 70 inch Bravia series over the summer; sales rep told me how the sound comes thru the screen and eventually if probably like a Soundbar; I noticed when watching TV I would turn volume up to 25-30 to hear across living room. I shopped around and found this one in store. It’s more than I wanted to spend even on sale but is compatible with the TV. I tried installing myself but apparently had it connected wrong. Once it was hooked up correctly it worked well. My only complaint is I feel like I’m doing the same I did with the TV by having to nearly max out the volume to hear dialogue. Sound is descent but I’m having to set on 35-40 to hear dialogue. Glad I didn’t get a subwoofer and upset neighbors.

Disappointed in every way
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this sound bar after seeing that it was on sale and read a few reviews about. I also own another Sony sound bar and have been quite happy with my other sound bar. So I figured this sound bar would sound almost as well as my other one. Boy was I wrong this soundbar was night and day from the other soundbar. It was difficult to hear people talking on even with there voice enhancement feature turned. Voices came almost muffled and the background sound would almost drown out voices. It also would not pair with an older set of surround sound speakers even though those speakers were less than two years old. They are Sony speakers one would think that they would pair with this Sony sound bar. I personally was not interested in purchasing more speakers when I had a perfectly good pair that should have been able to use. About the only good thing with this soundbar is it does look decent. I ended up returning it and purchasing another brand soundbar. I would not recommend this product at all. Sound is horrible, can't use existing speakers I own already and the power cord is pretty short as well.

SONY - Overpriced and poorly made
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would like to kindly advise against purchasing Sony products, particularly the HT-A3000 soundbar. I encountered a significant issue with the HDMI port failing within a short span of 1.5 years. Considering the high cost of the soundbar, it would have been more economical to purchase a budget-friendly soundbar and replace it annually for several years. Regrettably, Sony informed me that the product is out of warranty and offered a repair service through a third party at a substantial cost, including shipping fees and potential additional charges if no issues are identified. Given these expenses, it may be more practical to opt for a less expensive soundbar to avoid further inconvenience.

Failure to perform.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A waste of my time. I was told it would work any Sony tv out of the box. Wrong. I needed an optic coupler wire i had to supply. It did not adapt to my Sony 85" wall mounted tv which is very difficult to access the rear wiring. In the end I would need the remote unit supplied to control on/off and sound. Another remote, no thanks. I returned the sound bar. A lot of work for nothing. Misled by the salesman. Unhappy.
