![]() ![]() You can either place the soundbar in front of your TV or mount it on the wall beneath your TV (Sony provides a wall mount template, but no actual mounting screws or brackets). Can the HT-A3000 be mounted on a wall?Īs with most other soundbars, physical setup for the Sony HT-A3000 is easy. ![]() Since I have an LG C9 OLED TV rather than a Sony Bravia, I was unable to test the feature. If your Bravia set supports the feature, you’ll see an S-Center input on the back of the TV, and a cable included in the HT-A3000 box will let you make the necessary connection. I transferred a 24-bit/192kHz FLAC file to a USB flash drive, plugged it into the HT-A3000’s USB port, and the soundbar played the FLAC file without any trouble.įinally, there’s that “S-Center” output, which allows the owners of Sony Bravia TVs to use their TV speakers as a center channel. The HT-A3000 can decode a wide range of audio files, from MP3 and WMA to FLAC and Ogg Vorbis. Then we have the USB port, which is capable of accessing audio files on an external USB drive. The Sony HT-A3000 has a single HDMI-eARC port, an optical (Toslink) input, and a USB-A port capable of reading media files.īen Patterson/Foundry Can the Sony HT-A3000’s USB port access audio files? Instead, it uses Sony’s Vertical Surround Engine technology to simulate (quite effectively, as I’ll describe shortly) height effects, while the manufacturer’s S-Force Pro Front Surround tech uses virtualization to widen the front soundstage. The HT-A3000 lacks the upfiring drivers that many competing soundbars (including the pricier HT-A5000 and HT-A7000 models) use to bounce Dolby Atmos and DTS:X height effects off the ceiling. ![]() Does the Sony HT-A3000 come equipped with upfiring drivers? Sony also offers the HT-A5000, a 5.1.2-channel soundbar with two upfiring drivers for $999.99 (read our Sony HT-A5000 review), while the $1,399.99 HT-A7000 delivers 7.1.2 channels of audio. Put all those components together, and the HT-A3000 becomes a full-on 5.1-channel system, albeit for a total–and somewhat lofty–$1,450 price tag. We received the 200-watt SA-SW3 with a 160mm woofer for review ($400), or you could opt for the more powerful, 300W SA-SW5 subwoofer ($700). ![]() To bolster the bass, you can add one of Sony’s two wireless subwoofers. The Sony HT-A3000 has bass reflex ports on either side. ![]()
