11-Channel BRAVIA Theater Bar
The Sony HT-A8000 is an 11-channel soundbar designed for living-room home theater. It delivers Dolby Atmos and DTS playback through a single horizontal enclosure. The bundle adds a 5-year Amber Protection plan and a 200 ml screen cleaner. It targets viewers who want immersive surround sound without placing multiple speakers around the room.
HDMI eARC and 4K/60p pass-through
One HDMI input and one HDMI output with eARC carry lossless audio from a compatible TV or source device. The interface supports 4K video at 60 frames per second with HDR, Dolby Vision and HLG. CEC via BRAVIA Sync allows unified power and volume control. Wireless streaming uses built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for music services.
Check TV compatibility and mounting space
Verify that your television provides an eARC-enabled HDMI port to unlock full object-based audio formats. The bar measures 43.30 inches wide, 4.44 inches deep and 2.51 inches high; confirm clearance below the screen or on a shelf. The S-Center connector only functions with select BRAVIA models. The protection plan covers residential use only.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 11-channel bar or the 16-channel quad system?
The 11-channel bar is a single 43.30-inch unit; the quad system uses four separate speakers each 11.50 by 5.13 by 12.13 inches. Choose the bar for a simpler layout or the quad for wider spatial separation.
How does 360 Spatial Sound Mapping change movie night?
It maps the 11 drivers to phantom positions around the room so effects move overhead and behind you without extra speakers.
What does the eARC HDMI connection actually pass through?
The eARC port carries lossless Dolby Atmos and DTS from the TV while also handling 4K 60p HDR and Dolby Vision video pass-through.
