Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hi Tuga,

Thank you for telling us about your experience with your SA-RS3S Sony rear speakers. We're happy that you appreciate the overall audio of these speakers. To ensure sound is being output from both the speaker system and the optional rear speakers, press the IMMERSIVE AE to turn on the Immersive Audio Enhancement function, the speaker system upmixes audio signals, and sound is output from all speakers. For this, you may refer to the guidelines below:

• 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.
• To play multi-channel audio, check the digital audio output setting on the device connected to the speaker system. For details, refer to the operating instructions of the connected device.

You can also set the speaker distance from your listening position and their output level, etc. to obtain the best possible surround sound.

Hi ABGod, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your SARS3S. Depending on the input signal and the sound mode setting, surround sound processing may not work effectively. The
surround effect may be subtle, depending on the program or disc. To ensure optimal surround sound effect, try setting the sound effect that is tailored to sound sources to a different Sound Mode option. You may refer to this link for more information: https://support.am.sony.com/release/Help_5024835112.pdf (see page 72).
And also, to play multi-channel audio, check the digital audio output setting on the device connected to the speaker system.
For details, refer to the operating instructions of the connected device.

Hi IgualitoComoLeo,

Thank you for reaching out to us with your concern. We regret to hear if you find the volume of the rear speaker not as loud as you would have liked and it hasn't performed to your standards. Allow us to help you and turn your experience around. If the audio coming through is low or you are not hearing any audio from the wireless rear speakers for the speaker system, there are a couple of items that will need to be checked:

• The Rear speaker plays surround sound as part of the multi-channel sound or processed from the 2-channel sound. However, because of the characteristics of the rear speaker, the sound may be low depending on the playback source.
• 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.
• Set the night mode to off then check the wireless connection status in [Settings] - [Wireless Speaker Settings] - [Wireless speaker status check] on the app screen.
• Advanced Auto Volume function is not suitable for listening to music. You can disable this feature.
• To ensure that you are getting the most out of your HT-A5000, make sure to run Sound Field Optimization so that the soundbar can calibrate its performance to your environment, and that it sounds like it was engineered to be in your room. You can also set the speaker distance from your listening position and their output level, etc. to obtain the best possible surround sound. For this, you may refer to the guidelines below:
