      Hi JeffR,

      Choosing these rear speakers will definitely be worth it! Thank you for taking the time to write such an amazing review of your experience with your SA-RS3S Sony rear speakers! We are extremely pleased to hear you are enjoying the incredible audio and it completes your home theater setup. 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.

      Thank you for choosing Sony!

    I have the Sony Bravia TV, Sony HT -3000 soundbar, Sony subwoofer, and until recently, owned the Sony SA-RS3S Wireless Rear Speakers. Set up was easy. Determined there was nearly zero volume coming from rear speakers. Only remote to control volume is the Bravia remote, which also controls the sound bar and subwoofer. No way to increase volume on Speakers without the entire sound system. Even then the rear speakers were barely audible. Had purchased Geek Patrol policy, but when I went I to the store for help, I was told the ONLY fix was to pay $129 for Geek Squad to come to my house to basically play with the remote. Whey am I required to pay an additional $129 to make brand new $300 speakers audible? What a SCAM! So looking forward to surround sound. Saved money to buy all components, but they’re defective. Awful customer service. I feel ripped off and have returned the speakers.

      Hi CathyR!

      Our deepest apologies for the issue you have, as Sony, we want to provide you always the best of our products.

      We do have some settings we can try in order to check if everything is correct. Try checking the following:

      A. Do a handshake:
      Unplug all the devices from the Sound Bar and then let's unplug everything from the outlet for at least 2 minutes, after that, connect everything back in.

      B. Perform the manual connection:
      1 Press HOME.
      The home menu appears on the TV screen.
      2 Select [Setup] — [Advanced Settings] on the
      Home menu.
      3 Select [Speaker Settings] — [Wireless Speaker
      Settings] — [Start manual linking].
      The [Start manual linking] screen appears on the
      TV screen.
      4 Press LINK on the speaker.
      The power indicator of the speaker that had LINK
      Pressed flashes twice repeatedly in green.
      5 Select [Start].
      The manual link starts.
      The connecting process appears on the TV screen.
      To cancel the manual link, select [Cancel].
      6 When [Rear Speaker (R)] and [Rear Speaker (L)]
      Display [Connected], select [Finish].
      7 Press.
      The link is established and the power indicator of
      The speakers light in green.

      C. Check the volume on the sound bar remote:
      The Sound bar remote (RMTAH514U) has the rear speakers volume (+/-) and you can adjust the volume with those buttons.

      If after checking all those settings the issue persist, please, may we contact you to help and get more information? If so, please email the below information to socialsupport@am.sony.com. Name: Best Buy Username: Model Number: Issue: Telephone Number. We are sorry for the inconvenience and hope to speak to you to resolve this matter.

    My last sound bar did not have a rear stage. So i got these on an HT-A7000 package purchase. On 4k bluray content and music they are amazing. They barely do anything with normal TV shows. So beware if your budget is tight, it is not a replacement for a true 5.1/7.2 home theater setup

      Hi PaulS, Awesome! Thank you very much on sharing your experience and we are very glad to hear you are enjoying your HT-A7000 with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. We hope that between some of our premium audio technologies such as Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force Pro Front Surround, you feel like you are not only in a sphere of sound, but inside the movie itself. To ensure that you are getting the most out of your HT-A7000, make sure to toggle on the "Immersive AE" remote button to upscale the entire audio systems' performance. Additionally, 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. If you want to expand your audio system, please take a look at our optional subwoofer and rears accessories (SA-SW5,SA-SW3,SA-RS3S). Thank you for choosing Sony! Jay Sony_US

      Hi GeneF,

      Awesome! Thank you for giving the product a perfect rating! We really love to hear it works great and you like the excellent sound quality of your SA-RS3S rear speakers. In addition to increasing the REAR (rear speaker volume) + button to turn up the volume, some speakers may not output sound depending on the SOUND FIELD and sound source settings combination. By pressing IMMERSIVE AE or SOUND FIELD to turn on the surround effect, the speaker system up-mixes audio signals, and sound is output from all speakers.
      • HT-A7000: On the remote control, press the IMMERSIVE AE button, and select Immersive Audio Enhancement: On.
      • HT-A5000/HT-A3000: On the remote control, press the SOUND FIELD button, and select Sound Field: Effect On or SF.ON.
