    I really had hopes for this but no. I’m constantly trying to find a clear level of sound. Also bought a subwoofer to go with still meh. It also will not hook up with my older wireless speaker. I’d take it back and get a Polk or something else but the store is not close and it would be a beating. Support from Sony is no user friendly either.

    Purchased this with my Sony Bravia XR television. When connecting the sound bar the system shuts down the sound on the television itself. It will not allow you to project sound from the sound bar and television simultaneously. Needless to say the television has a better sound quality than this model sound bar. Returned the sound bar and enjoying the television.

      Hi Brock5ga,


      Thank you, We regret that the sound quality did not meet your expectations and had to be returned. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have. You can actually adjust the settings to suit your listening preferences. For future references, please check the Help Guide or the manual.

      It's unfortunate that we can no longer guide you further in fixing the issue or helps enhance the audio quality. We value your feedback as it helps us improve our products and services.

      We hope you'll consider this model in your future purchase.
