Comes with Bluetooth with NFC for music playback from Smartphones and SongPal App control* 5.1ch/600W Sound Bar with wired rear speakers and sub woofer, 1x HDMI input (ARC)
At time of posting it is still ticketed at $499 at the Sony store and JB HiFi. This is a great price for a sound bar with a sub woofer and 2 rear speakers!
Also, you can get 2.5% cash back with Cash Rewards
Just don't spend less than half that, because they're all awful.
Anyone able to review this model?
Why not? Got a cheaper Sony model for $160. It is way better than the inbuilt TV speakers.
That's $10 above what I said :) good choice!
I got 1 & love it , is a bargain at full price not much exra than bar’s without rears, only gripe is arc occassionally won’t turn it on(once a month roughly) and not the loudest but loud enough for me , should be able to demo volume (bar anyway) in store
Can i connect this to my desktop (Latest Dell)
Depends on whether your laptop HDMI port is v1.4 or above or you if have an optical audio connector.
Latest model tells us nothing about your computer.
Not a Laptop but a Desk Top,…….Dell XPS 8920 i7-7700 16GB RAM 2TB+ 256GB GTX1070
Sorry, not sure where I got laptop from..
Yes, you should be able to with a GTX1070 but it may take some configuration fiddling to get it to work, I don't think all HDMI cables are capable of transferring 5.1 sound so thats something to look out for.
Edit: Yes GTX1070 will do 5.1 and 7.1, HDMI cable must be at least v1.4
Cheers,thanks for the imfo
How do these things (soundbars w/sub) handle music? Im not expecting earth shattering volumes ofcourse.
I use spotify thru xbox1 & ps4 & love the output, can’t speak for bluetooth though, did test once , seemed just as good
Thanks. Tempting as looking to rid my old Samsung HTIB have had for ages in the kids/family room. Although these don't have fm radio I'm assuming which is needed.
Can you use w/o subwoofer? They're so bulky.
Na, all speakers connect to sub
Thanks :)
you still need a power cable and cable connection to the sub?

Just an FYI this system does not have the DTS codecs only Dolby Digital, Dolby Dual Mono.
the $299 price tag has gone live on their site
also im planning to get this or the z906 anyone have any suggestions?
There are reviews saying that the subwoofer fan is very loud?
Read that too.. Can someone please confirm?
Yes. This unit it terrible. Fan is the biggest let down - Avoid
Is it in all units or only a few are affected? Also, can it be changed under warranty?
Hi Dealayed.
I can't say "all" but for the 3 that I have gone thru… cropped JB receipts in link (cropped due to having my details on them for Warranty) but after 3 units, safe to say this is a dog and this is just how Sony make this unit

My Xbox One X is so so so quite next to it it is rather embarrassing.
Hope it helps
Thanks heaps mate. Will look for another soundbar.
Not commenting on this particular model but for those hedging on whether to get a soundbar or not, just do it. I resisted for years as I didn't want to spend the money but now that I have one (Yamaha ats- something) it's amazing what ~$240 can do. I'm no audiophile but it's actually nice to hear the dialogue properly now.
