  • QuestionCan I connect a subwoofer via Bluetooth? Or it is not required?

    Asked by Monirul.

    • Answer Good day, OptimusPrime! Thank you for your question. It is not required to connect a wireless subwoofer since it has built-in subwoofer already but, yes, you can still connect an optional wireless subwoofer to our Sony HTA3000 Soundbar. We recommend checking our Sony SASW5 and SASW3 Wireless Subwoofers compatible with HTA3000 for additional bass sound. The HTA3000 has three front speakers including a center channel, and a powerful built-in dual subwoofer for clear dialogue and authentic surround sound. Using the soundbar alone, you’ll experience authentic 3.1 channel surround sound with S-Force PRO Front Surround and Vertical Surround Engine. Or you can add optional rear speakers to enjoy 360 Spatial Sound Mapping with multiple phantom speakers. Hope this helps and thank you for considering Sony. Regards, Marco

  • QuestionIs there a "problem" mounting the HTA3000 3-1 Dolby Soundbar ABOVE the TV? All the instructions and marketing images show it below the TV. What will I lose if it mount I above the TV?

    Asked by SonyBuyer.

    • Answer Hi SonyBuyer, Thank you for your inquiry! Although it is feasible to mount the HT-A3000 above the TV, doing so may adversely affect sound quality and the overall audio experience. The soundbar is specifically designed to direct sound towards the listener, and positioning it above the TV could interfere with this intended sound projection, leading to a less immersive audio experience. For the best performance, we recommend following the standard practice of mounting the soundbar below the TV. Additional information: The HT-A3000 immerses you in authentic surround sound with a center speaker for clear dialogue and a built-in dual subwoofer for impressive power. With optional rear speakers it supports 360 Spatial Sound Mapping too, so you can lose yourself in your favorite movies, TV shows and music. I hope this helps! Best regards, Romeo

  • QuestionI'm using this w/ back speakers & woofer. Connected it via the chord cable & HDMI to my BRAVIA XR X90L. Once connected and updated, can I get rid of all cables and only use the Bluetooth to get the same 360 Spatial Sound Mapping sound effect?

    Asked by JamesR.

    • Answer Hi James, Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, 360 Spatial Sound Mapping sound effect can only be achieved thru wired connection via eARC. 360 Spatial Sound Mapping will not be obtained with Bluetooth connection. The HTA3000 immerses you in authentic surround sound with a center speaker for clear dialogue and a built-in dual subwoofer for impressive power. With optional rear speakers, it supports 360 Spatial Sound Mapping, so you can lose yourself in your favorite movies, TV shows and music. Hope this helps and thanks for choosing Sony. Regards, Marco

  • QuestionI experienced a power outage courtesy of a storm and a tree. My HTA3000 was working until the outage. the sound bar is no longer in sync with the tv. how do I re-sync? the sound bar will come on, but no volume and no number volume graphic on tv screen

    Asked by AlZorro.

    • Answer Hi AlZorro, We are sorry to hear about the issue your facing after the outage. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have. We'd love to help you troubleshoot your problem and turn this into a better experience. Check the type and connection of an HDMI cable, TV center speaker mode cable, or optical digital cable that is connected to the speaker system and the TV. Disconnect the cables that are connected to the TV and the speaker system, then connect them firmly again. Disconnect the AC power cords (mains leads) of the TV and the speaker system from the AC outlets (mains), then connect them again. When the speaker system and TV are connected with an HDMI cable, check the following. The HDMI jack of the connected TV is labeled with “eARC” or “ARC.” The Control for HDMI function of the TV is set to on. The eARC or ARC function of the TV is enabled. The number of connected devices that can be controlled by the Control for HDMI function has not exceeded the limit. On the speaker system, [Setup] - [Advanced Settings] - [HDMI Settings] - [Control for HDMI] is set to [On] and [Setup] - [Advanced Settings] - [HDMI Settings] - [TV Audio Input Mode] is set to [Auto]. Additional information is available on the help Guide. Please visit our support website for more details.

  • QuestionIf the wireless soundbar is hooked up to the sony tv can you also use wireless headphones?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hi there, thanks for contacting Sony. When connecting a soundbar to your TV via Bluetooth while also wanting to use headphones, compatibility can vary. Most Sony TVs do not support simultaneous audio output to two Bluetooth devices. A common solution is to connect a Bluetooth transmitter to the TV's optical port. In this setup, you would connect the soundbar to the TV via Bluetooth and then link your headphones to the Bluetooth transmitter connected through the optical port. For most TVs, this configuration should allow for dual audio output. For more detailed information, please refer to: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00049501. Thanks for considering Sony. Best regards, Gus Sony Social Media Team
