- A: AnswerI agree that this sub is very expensive. I purchased it in a package and received about a 200 discount. I have not yet set it up, but it sounds incredible in the cavernous Best Buy store and will be great in my family room. When you buy Sony, you buy the best.

- A: AnswerSwitch to your soundbar input and hit "home" on the remote. Navigate to settings and look for the RF Optimization. Turn it off and then back on or if the issue keeps happening try leaving it off. This resets the bluetooth connection between the sub and/or satellite rear speakers and tends to clear up static/dropouts. I actually just leave it off now and have no issues.

- A: AnswerI first purchased an open box SA-SW5 in excellent condition. Atleast so I thought. The speaker ended up not in excellent condition and it made this static sound when the audio called for bass. The speaker was obviously blown and I returned it. I didn't want to chance this happening again so I purchased a new replacement SA-SW5. It sounds like your SA-SW5 speaker may be blown. Either return it to the store for a replacement or turn it in for warranty. I hope this helps. Good luck.

- A: AnswerHi Snakerog, Thanks for inquiring about the SA-SW5. Unfortunately, no. It doesn't have terminals for speaker wires. This wireless subwoofer uses a radio frequency and is designed to be paired with our HT-A9 Home Theater System, HT-A9000 (BRAVIA Theater Bar 9), HT-A8000 (BRAVIA Theater Bar 8), HT-A7000, HT-A5000, HT-A3000, and HT-S2000 Soundbars. In addition, the BRAVIA 9 does not have a subwoofer output, so a subwoofer cannot be connected to the TV directly. A recommended option is to add a soundbar that includes a wireless, powered subwoofer or have an amplifier or AV receiver that has a dedicated subwoofer connection to use with our BRAVIA 9. Also, if you want to get a true audio-visual experience that draws you right into everything you're watching, adding the XV800, XV90, or ULT TOWER 10 to the TV lets you enjoy the enhanced sound of audio visual contents, such as live performance videos and movies, thanks to deep bass and room filling sound provided by the TV Sound Booster. Regards, Jess

Subwoofer/Rear sound very low even in max setting
Got both SA-SW5 ($388+tax) and HT-A700 from openbox, setup is easy. Subwoofer detected and connected automatically, unfortunately subwoofer had only cracking sound .. probably damaged speaker inside. returned and got SA-SW3 ($202+tax) openbox. It also easy setup, worked fine, but not loud enough, bass sound very low, hard to notice difference with bass and w/o bass. Got the rear speakers too SA-RS3S ( $198+tax) . Only way I can tell rear speakers works if I hold speakers next my ear like headphone ;( . One thing noticed both SA-SW3 and SA-RS3S works fine loud during sound optimization. am I missing any setup ? Increased the volume of both bass and surround to max . No difference . I have 4-star just because of the built quality of the soundbar HT-A7000 and the connectivity. Another worst thing is there is no mobile app to control the settings of soundbar , subwoofer, surround etc. Looks like Sony has Bravia Connect app thats works only new soundbar 8 and 9. not compatible with HT-A7000. This soundbar HT-A7000 is nothing less than a standalone AV receiver. I wish I could connect to my existing wired subwoofer and speakers to it.

Plug and play bass
Easy as plugging in. Matched with new Sony A7000 soundbar. Good heavy bass. It’s a wireless soundbar and connects automatically with Sony soundbar. Literally nothing else to do. Put sub anywhere in room, just plug into outlet for power. Sounds great. It is pretty expensive tho—there are cheaper options but if you want seamless integration with Sony Bravia tv/soundbar/sub, this is the one!

Sony continues to impress
I've only had it for a short time, but the sound quality is incredible. Hopefully that continues.
