    This arrived better then expected. I recommend purchasing an open box to save yourself some money. The only thing I encountered was setup. Not really a big deal,but you either need to reset both Soundbar & subwoofer &/or setup manually.

    This would be a great woofers in addition to any sound system and unfortunately it only works with certain types it has to be a newer model Sony for it to work or any other model has to have to be newer to like a 7.1 or 9.1 for you to even work properly anything less or anything that will not work

    Seems very well built. Outputs nicely, but as a condo dweller, I am not sure it does me much good unless at higher volumes. Still testing within my return period. I did buy the rear surrounds and feel those are worth it.

      Hi Barks, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review of your SASW3. We're glad you like the excellent built quality and powerful bass output this unit delivers. I would recommend following the steps below to improve your overall listening experience: Press SW volume + or BASS + on the remote control of a soundbar to increase the subwoofer volume. Set the night mode to off using the remote control of your soundbar. If the input sources contain very little bass sound components (i.e., a TV broadcast), the sound from the subwoofer may be difficult to hear. You can check the subwoofer sound by emitting the test tone. Hope this helps!

      We hope that the 200 watts of power is successfully filling your room with deep, rich bass. Make sure to run Sound Field Optimization through your paired A-Series audio system so that the subwoofer calibrates its performance to the surrounding environment. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

      Hi AnthonyC,

      That's excellent to hear! The SA-SW3 is designed to seamlessly integrate, providing that deep, rich bass to enhance your audio experience without ever overpowering the main sound. It's fantastic that it's delivering that perfect balance for you.

      Thanks for the 4-star rating! We're glad it's completing your home theater setup so effectively.
