Questions about this item
How loud does the 11-channel soundbar get during all-day use?
The unit uses a digital amplifier with S-Master HX processing; Sony does not publish a maximum SPL figure, so typical living-room levels stay well within comfortable limits.
Which TV connections does the HT-A8000 require to deliver Dolby Atmos and 4K/60p HDR?
A single HDMI eARC port on the TV plus one HDMI input on the soundbar handle Atmos, 4K/60p, Dolby Vision and HLG pass-through.
Will the soundbar control an older BRAVIA set over HDMI-CEC?
Yes, BRAVIA Sync works over the HDMI eARC link so power, volume and input switching operate with the TV remote.
