Sony HT-A7000

You can control the soundbar using the Sony Music Center app on your smartphone, or by using your TV remote via HDMI-CEC if your TV supports it. While the physical remote is convenient for initial setup, these alternatives handle volume, input switching, and sound settings effectively.

The HT-A7000 features built-in dual subwoofers, providing a solid low-end performance on its own. However, if you want room-shaking bass for a large home theater, it is compatible with Sony’s optional wireless subwoofers (SA-SW3 or SA-SW5) which can be paired later.

The HT-A7000 is quite wide at 51 1/4 inches, so it is best suited for TVs 55 inches or larger. Before purchasing, measure the space between your TV stand legs to ensure the soundbar will fit comfortably between them without obstructing the screen.

The system uses built-in microphones to measure the height and position of the soundbar relative to your walls and ceiling. It then automatically adjusts the audio output to optimize the 360 Spatial Sound mapping for your specific room layout.

Yes, the HT-A7000 supports Spotify Connect, Apple AirPlay 2, and Chromecast built-in. You can stream audio directly from your mobile devices or computer over Wi-Fi without needing to power on your television.

Yes, the HDMI inputs support 4K passthrough, making it compatible with modern gaming consoles and high-resolution media players. It ensures your video signal remains high-quality while the soundbar extracts the audio.
