I would recommend this to a friend Wish I didn't buy these
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these with the HT-A7000 & SW5 sub December 2024. Worked flawlessly for a month or two, and sounded amazing, then they would randomly cut in and out occasionally. Left rear speaking stopped connecting January 2025, right after 1 year warranty. This is not the Sony quality I have experienced over the last 35+ years of owning Sony products. Very disappointed. I am going to try the S8 rear speakers. If I have any issues with those, I am done with Sony products. Take it for what it's worth, but I would avoid these speakers.

Posted .Hello BryanW,
Thank you for considering Sony products.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced with your HT-A7000 system, SARS5 rear speakers, and SA-SW5 subwoofer. We understand how frustrating it can be when equipment doesn't perform as expected, especially after years of enjoying Sony products.
To help resolve the problem with your left rear speaker cutting out and not connecting, please try the following troubleshooting steps:
Check Speaker Placement and Interference: Ensure the rear speaker is positioned at least 1.5 meters (5 feet) away from any wireless LAN routers or other devices that might cause interference. Also, remove any obstacles between the soundbar and the rear speaker to maintain a clear line of sight. More details can be found here:
https://helpguide.sony.net/ht/a7000/v1/en/contents/TP1000201188.html
Adjust Rear Speaker Volume: Use the soundbar remote to press the "REAR" (rear speaker volume) "+" button to increase the volume of the rear speaker. Additional info is available at:
https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/sound-bars-home-theater-systems-sound-bars-surround-speakers/ht-a5000/articles/00274538
Reset Wireless Speaker Settings: On the soundbar remote, press the "HOME" button and navigate to: Setup > Advanced Settings > Speaker Settings > Wireless Speaker Settings.
In the "RF Channel" setting, select "Off," wait a few seconds, then turn it back "On."
Update System Software: Ensure your soundbar software is updated to the latest version (1.799). Instructions and confirmation for your software version can be found here:
https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/sound-bars-home-theater-systems-sound-bars-surround-speakers/ht-a7000/software/00272379
