      Hi BillyBudapest,

      You made the right choice! 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 choosing Sony!

    Should have bought the Sonos sound bar and sub….

    Sound comes through great when connect via bluetooth, but when on TV sound via sound bar and eARC cable the subwoofer is very distorted with a lot of static and cracking. Wish I bought the Sonos, which demoed much better in the store but was advised by sales rep to go with Sony for integration and easy of use. I’m regretting this decision.

      Hi JaredG, We're sorry to hear about the distorted sound issue you're having. This is definitely not the news that we would like to hear. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience. If there is noise, static, crackling, or audio distortion, please follow these steps to resolve the issue.

      If there is a device nearby that generates electromagnetic waves, such as a wireless LAN or a microwave oven in use, locate the subwoofer and a compatible model apart from it.

      If there is an obstacle between the subwoofer and a compatible model, move or remove it.

      Locate the subwoofer and a compatible model as close as possible.

      Change the [RF Channel] setting to [Off], and then change to [On] again.

      Switch the network connection of the TV or Blu-ray Disc player from wireless to wired.

      Change the [Wireless Playback Quality] setting to [Connection].

    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.
