- 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 Breddy, Thanks for reaching out to us. We're sorry to learn you are experiencing audio issues or no sound is heard from the active subwoofer. Sound may not be output from the target speakers depending on the playback signals or the speaker settings. Be sure to select the optimal sound field for the content. For details on relations between sound fields and speaker outputs, see “Relations between sound fields and speaker outputs.” on the product's help guide that can be found on our Sony Support website. If no sound or only a very low-level sound is heard from the subwoofer, please follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue: • Press SW (volume) + or BASS + on the remote control of a compatible model to increase the subwoofer volume. • 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. Note: It may be difficult to hear low-frequency sounds from your subwoofer. To test your subwoofer, play movies with rumbling noises or music with loud bass tones. If you need further assistance, please let us know so we can turn your experience around. Unfortunately, due to the current Best Buy phishing protocol for your protection, we cannot provide a direct email or phone number for customer support as of now. Please find Sony Electronics' Support information: Go to our support website > click on “Support” > scroll down click on “Contact Support” > click on "Home Audio" and from there you'll see different ways to reach us. Regards, Jess

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!

Unleashes the HTA7000 with clear and powerful bass
I have the HTA7000 Soundbar and it is excellent overall as standalone. Adding this subwoofer releases the Soundbar from performing bass duties and delegates that to the Soundbar. The Soundbar will now allow more subwoofer audio levels going from only 3, to more than 10. This allows the Soundbar to provide the cleanest audio along with bass. Without the subwoofer the Soundbar can produce decent bass at the cost of introducing muddiness when cranking the bass levels to high. The addition of this subwoofer the muddiness goes away. The audio from the subwoofer is excellent. It provides deep bass that fills the room. I placed the subwoofer next to my couch, basically on the opposite side of the TV and Soundbar wall. I was worried about this not being optimal placement but it worked well. The room fills with powerful bass. The subwoofer box has excellent build quality with sof touch materials all around. There is a front firing and also a downfiring driver. It only uses 43w of electricity and automatically connected with the Soundbar when plugged in. It is about 12 feet away from the Soundbar and there have not been any wireless connection issues. If you don't have a preference for a TV I would highly recommend pairing up the Sony Soundbar with a new bravia TV because the TV remote can fully control the Soundbar and there will be no requirement to have multiple remotes. The Soundbar, sub, and rear surrounds turn off and enter standby mode when the TV is turned off and they turn on she the TV is turned on. It is great that the sony ecosystem fully integrates itself with Soundbar options available on the TV's quick menu system.
