Sound bar sounds good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is forward firing instead of my Sony Bravia XR 55 X90J's downward firing speakers, so it is better sound. Yet, it needs to push the volume up much more than the TV speakers. Geek Squad set it so that the sound automatically goes through the Sony HT-S200F sound bar that is a good compact size for my 55" TV. The price was much more reasonable. SONY TV and Sony Sound Bar are in a living room kitchen approx 19' x 13'.

Perfect compact sound bar in budget!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's small but powerful. Easy set up with TV. Deep bass with built-in subwoofer. Everything you need for your home in a small box. The coolest feature is the HDMI ARC2 and Bluetooth technology which ensure a seamless connection with your TV without all the wires and it means you can control this with your regular TV remote. So no need for the universal remote setup! Bluetooth to your phone/tab allows for music streaming/playing and the sound-bar has the smart feature to switch to Bluetooth when connected and back to HDMI (ARC) for TV sound without manual intervention.

Superior Sound
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In the hot rod and custom car world we have a saying... change one thing you end up changing 10... It started with having to upgrade to a flat screen TV... which had terrible sound so we had to look for sound bars... but not just any because with the new TV came a new TV console....which limited our space as to where we wanted the sound bar... on top of the fact that it need to be connected viz HDMI because of issues with UVerse....Long story short, this physically and technically met our needs and guided our purchase...Installation was incredibly easy and the sound is top notch!! Big benefit is that being connected via HDMI we can control the volume with the TV remote, AKA one less remote to have to keep track of. Set up and installation was a breeze!

Not recommended if you plan to wall-mount
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For a sound bar in this classification, the quality of the sound from this Sony product is good. I am rating it at two (2) because (A) the sound bar did not include mounting materials; (B) Sony instructed the buyer to purchase two specific screw types - rather than including the recommended items with the product; and (C) the type screws recommended did not result in a securely wall-mounted sound bar. The installer tried a remedy, which resulted in a damaged sound bar. I sent an e-mail to Sony to see if they would recommend a solution. I have not yet received a response. If you plan to wall-mount a sound bar, I don't recommend this product. Finally, because of the irresponsiveness of Sony, I will not purchase another Sony product. I have purchased several televisions in the past and have been satisfied with the quality and durability of those products, but obviously, the company has changed.

Q: QuestionWhere can i hear this soundbar in your stores? Why do you say it doesn't work with firestick? Firestick is plugged into tv wouldn't it do a pass through? In that case what about the DVD player or the Cable box sound? Are you saying it won't work?
Asked by nyrker.
- A:Answer I did notice this was not in stock at my local Best Buy. I am not sure they set up to many soundbars in the store. However, I have this one and it sounds really good. It will give you a Theatre like sound and the built-in subwoofer sounds pretty good. You can also connect your phone to it with Bluetooth and play music. You can use any device you want with the soundbar that is connected to your TV. The soundbar connects to your TV via a provided digital optical wire or an HDMI cable. That means that any sound going into your TV from any source will play out of the soundbar. The hdmi cable will give you HDMI arc which will enable you to program your universal remote to control the soundbar volume. Otherwise, you will have to use the soundbar remote if you use digital optical. Since the sound signal is coming from your TV into your soundbar it will play anything that is connected to your TV including a firestick. They probably just meant you can not plug your firestick directly into the soundbar since the soundbar hdmi is just used for hdmi arc to get the sound signal from your TV.

Q: QuestionComparing the choice of using HDMI or Optical connections to a TV, does either provide inherently better sound quality?
Asked by JimF.
- A:Answer I tried both connections and the audio quality appears to be equal. Keep in mind that this is a small bar, for small rooms. It is not made to be producing home theater level acoustics. The perk of HDMI is that the TV can control the bar (if the TV has that feature). I turn on my TV via the TV remote and it then turns on the soundbar. When I change the volume via the TV remote, it adjusts the soundbar volume. That functionality is not available via the optical connection.

Q: QuestionCan i control the sound bar with my dish remote?
Asked by OldGuy08.
- A:Answer Hi OldGuy08, thank you for your question. We are unable to provide support for remote controls designed by other manufacturers. Manufacturers may assign different code numbers in their universal remote controls to identify the Infrared (IR) signal of a Sony product. Thus, the code number used for operating a Sony product in one remote control may be different from that used by another. For information about programming a third-party remote control, contact the manufacturer of the remote control. ~Earl

Q: QuestionCan this sound bar be controlled by any brand tv remote, such as Samsung, or only by a Sony tv remote if hooked up using the hdm connection?
Asked by Duke.
- A:Answer I’m sure it can. But I have it connected to an older Sony and works fine. I have the combo on my bedroom wall. Sounds better than the tv speakers but it does still lacks on bass,I figured it would but was hoping for a bit more. I just didn’t want a subwoofer in bedroom. Maybe if it were to sit on top of a stand the bass would be a bit better.

Q: QuestionCan the Sony 2.1 soundbarr connect with a single remote controller whereby turning on the tv will connect to the speaker automatically?
Asked by droko.
- A:Answer If the tv is ARC compatible, and using an HDMI 2.0 cable, then the tv will control the sound bar. I use a samsung tv with hdmi arc input source, and the tv automatically found the sound bar and controls the volume.
