- Does it need a subwoofer?
- No. It is a single bar with no separate subwoofer, so bass comes from the bar itself and is modest. A bar-and-sub system will hit harder.
- Does it support Dolby Atmos?
- Yes, it decodes Dolby Atmos and uses processing to simulate height. The effect is subtle compared with a setup with up-firing or rear speakers.
- Will it work with a non-Sony TV?
- Yes, through the HDMI connection. Bravia-specific integration such as shared menus and remote control works best with a Sony TV.
- Is it good for a large room?
- It suits small to mid-size rooms. In a large or open space, the limited bass and virtual surround leave it short of a bar with a subwoofer and rear speakers.
- What is in the box?
- The soundbar, a remote, batteries, an HDMI cable and the documentation. Wall-mount hardware is not included.
- How does it compare with Sony's higher bars?
- Step-up Sony bars add a subwoofer and, on some models, rear speakers and more HDMI inputs. This bar trades those for a simpler one-box setup.
- Where is the Sony Bravia Theater Bar Soundbar Dolby Atmos 5 Year Amber Protection Plan cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $1,589.99, as of our latest check.
