QuestionCan you ad a woofer to this tv without sound bar
Asked 5 years ago by David.
- Answer I do not think that you would be able to tie in a wireless subwoofer into the TV and still have the Highs and Mids come from the TV. That would require the TV to have a low-frequency pass-off, which it doesn't have. To be honest, unless you need to have a rumbling bass to go along with your TV viewing experience, the sound built into the TV is really good sound quality. As a matter of fact, unless you wanted to have a full-on Surround Sound experience which you would need to pass off the sound to a soundbar or surround receiver, the TV sound is good enough.

QuestionI have just had this TV installed (XBR65A8G). Directv has previously sent info about upgrading to a 4k UHD package to improve viewing. But this TV already has that or do you have to have the Directv package to activate it. Is it needed? Thanks
Asked 5 years ago by MJ301.
- Answer Hi, MJ301! Yes, it is needed. You will need a 4k source in order for your TV to display a 4k content. So upgrading your Directv to a 4k package is recommended. And, please refer to this link for additional information about 4K viewing: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/televisions-projectors/articles/00141961 Hope this helps! -Sam

QuestionCan you provide box weight
Asked 5 years ago by Ganesan.
- Answer 70.5 pounds in box. 49.5 lbs with stand. 44.8 lbs when wall mounted (without stand). I am not sure I agree with 70.5 but that is from Sony. Seems to be 10 lbs as I still have the box and it does not feel that heavy. Hope this helps.

QuestionHow wide are the feet on the stand. Wondering what size surface I need to sit the tv on. What’s the smallest surface i could sit it on.
Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer This is a rough measurement basically because the stand is shaped like a boomerang. Facing the stand towards the front, the stand is 13" wide, the length is 11 1/2"" long and the back flares out to 26". The stand can be reversed so that width of 26" is in front but also makes the television taller by about 2 inches to accommodate a sound bar underneath the A8G.

QuestionIs there any difference in the picture of the a8g oled then the a9g
Asked 5 years ago by Spiderman.
- Answer Full disclosure, I am no means an expert. From what I was told by my sales person who was very informed, it is just the processor that is a little faster in the A9G compared to the A8G TV. Other than that, putting them up to each other, you won't be able to detect a difference in picture. I am very happy with my purchase of the A8G, and you cant beat it now for the price.

Asked 5 years ago by Rascal.
