Bass kicks but wont last long!! GET THE WARRANTY
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At first when i bought this the bass was booming and shaking my whole apartment. Very happy at first with the product. Up until a year from purchase it started to act up and kept disconnecting with the soundbar. Then the subwoofer wouldnt turn on anymore. I contacted sony and because the subwoofer was out of warranty by a month they couldnt do anything. Not worth the price. I’ve researched the subwoofer and appartently numerous people have had same issues with this model. If youre gonna buy it get the warranty.

Posted .Hi EricD,
Thank you for the review and we do apologize for the inconvenience. The bass sound quality will depend in the source that you're playing. The subwoofer is designed for playback of bass sound. If the input sources contain very little bass sound components, the sound from the subwoofer may be difficult to hear. You can check the subwoofer sound by emitting the test tone. You can also set the night mode to off. For details, refer to the operating Instructions supplied with a compatible
model.

Sony subwoofer

Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought the sw3 subwoofer to pair with my Sony Bravia 7 TV and Sony Bravia 8 soundbar. I gotta say the subwoofer disappointed me. I'm not too impressed with it. I probably should've gotten the sw5 instead.

Adequate subwoofer $ solution for average room
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Open box item purchased for a relative. Hooked it up - obviously not as powerful as the larger subwoofer but does the job in a 12x15 room. Would recommend for certain situations.

Posted .Hi RichardM,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with the SA-SW3. We're sorry to hear that you've had trouble connecting via Bluetooth and finding the correct sound levels. We're here to help.
Please try the following steps to troubleshoot the issue:
About the issue with the sound, you need to make sure that the power indicator on the subwoofer is lit in green and then you can press SW + or BASS + on the remote control of your audio system to increase the subwoofer volume.
Also, 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 using your audio system.
In addition, you can perform a power reset on the unit. Just unplug it from the AC outlet, leave it unplugged for 1 minute and plug it in again.
If the problem persists after trying these steps, we recommend that you reach out directly to our technical support team. Their contact information can be found here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=ht
Best regards,
