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,

Subwoofer is overpowering.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The subwoofer drowns out the dialog. I was told there's a way to adjust it down but I haven't been able to figure out the remote control. The Geek Squad technicians didn't even unwrap the remote and demonstrate how I could adjust it. Very disappointed with that...

I expected more
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned this item. I don't like my music and movies blasting loud. So at moderate volume, I really couldn't detect this subwoofer above just the normal soundbar. Probably ok if you like your stuff really loud. Very little you can adjust in the app.
