Anyone here have this bar ? I have it since 3 days (in exchange of LG SN11RG that was not working after one year, and not fixable..) + SA-RS3S, and for now I'm pretty happy with it, but there is some issues. For the sound quality, I think it's too early to have a real feedback and conclusions, but it's very different than the LG. Some things are better, others are less good...
Globally, I have a good feeling with it during atmos films, but for the others use (film not in Atmos, TV show, or Music) i'm a little more doubtful...
I don't have additional subwoofer, but for now I don't miss that. Even in medium mode, the integrate sub is enough for my room. But the 2 lateral speakers are very usefull ! I had the bar + lateral speakers without adding money from my defective LG which cost less than this pack.
- Firstly, I really appreciate that there is a real visual menu, like traditional home cinema amp, but it's slightly annoying to have permanently OSD when I do any action with remote. I didn't find the possibility to stop displaying it. Is it possible ??
- Secondly, I have a Logitech Harmony Elite remote, and it find correctly the Sony Bar on the local network, but after adding, it work extremely rarely ! I tried to move the IR antena just near the IR sensor of the bar, but it works one once in ten, so I can tell it doesn't work...
I noticed the original remote just work when I aim very well the little screen of the soundbar, is it the same for you ? Because that could be part of the problem
- Finally, I use Molotov on my TV to watch tv programs, and this app send stereo sound by HDMI ARC, or by jack out of the tv to my soundbar. In each mode, it's not possible to have proper surround sound, even if "immerse AE" is activated. There is a little weak degraded sound on the rear speakers, and globaly the sound is verry bad !
The only solution I found is to use Molotov on my Xbox One S with Atmos activated. But it's very uncool to use my Xbox just to watch tv...
My conclusion : Xbox manages very better stereo sound to transform in surround than the bar can do, it's very disappointing !!
