    Simple pairing with the HT-A5000. Worked right out of the box. Great bass sound.

      Hi Night455,

      Amazing! We are really thrilled to know your satisfaction with the exceptional performance of our SA-SW5 Sony subwoofer. We hope that the 300 watts of power is successfully filling your room with deep, punchy 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 your purchase and for choosing Sony!

      Hi Mason2019, Awesome! We are pleased to hear that you are enjoying your new SASW5 wireless subwoofer. With 300W of deep bass sound from a powerful 180 mm driver and passive radiator, this subwoofer boosts the impact of everything you watch and listen to. Enjoy booming explosions and the deepest beats you’ve ever heard without distortion. You’ll also hear clearer voices and extra fidelity for truly authentic soundtracks. Our Home Theatre System, soundbar and optional speakers have been designed under a common Omnidirectional Block concept. The design of the SA-SW5 is a perfect match for these systems. Its sophisticated rounded edges represent a single solid block providing wide-spreading sound. The combination of rich material textures emphasizes an affinity with any living room environment. Thank you for choosing Sony! Erin Sony_US

    Distorted sound for the second time...

    Major distorted low range sound. Intermittent disconnect even with line of site close proximity to the hub. I'm not an audiophile by any means, but for the price of these, they should sound near flawless and not a hint of distortion. These are my second pair as the first pair had distortion issues as well. BB was good enough to return the first pair.

    If you are going to buy the HT-A9 this is a definite buy. The bass is not boomy to the point that makes it uncomfortable and distracting. It is just right. This is a great sub even for the H7000

      Hi StevenA,

      We are sorry to hear that the SA-SW5 is not meeting your expectations. To improve the bass performance, please ensure the subwoofer is correctly paired and try adjusting the "SW" level on your remote or running the Sound Field Optimization.
