The HT-A7000 has a total of 7.1.2 virtual channels: two up-firing drivers for overhead sound, two beam tweeters, five front-facing drivers, and a pair of passive radiators for wider virtual surround sound and a punch of bass. With Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force PRO Front Surround, the HT-A7000 creates virtual surround sound that seems to come from all around you, so you can fully enjoy the thrill of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.
Thanks to Sony's virtual surround technology, the soundbar can position sound in vertical space, so you can experience 3D audio without the need for in-ceiling speakers. As well as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, Vertical Surround Engine lends a more realistic, multi-dimensional sound to other formats too.
Using only the front drivers, this digital sound field processing technology virtually reproduces the surround sound field, with audio coming at you from both sides. You can enjoy rich, cinematic surround sound without cluttering your living space.
Sit back and enjoy room-filling acoustics with two up-firing drivers for overhead sound, five front-firing beam tweeters, and two passive radiators for a punch of bass.
- Up-firing drivers reflect sound off the ceiling for immersive overhead audio. Combined with Vertical Surround Engine technology, these give you an even more atmospheric overhead sound experience.
- Beam tweeters bounce sound off the walls and expand surround sound to give you an immersive experience that goes beyond the size of your TV. They combine with S-Force PRO Front Surround technology for even wider surround sound.
- Passive radiators vibrate from the air pressure within the soundbar, delivering low-end bass to enhance your content.
- The front drivers provide high-quality sound with less distortion and high vocal clarity from an X-Balanced Speaker Unit.
The up-firing drivers, tweeters, and passive radiators feature an X-Balanced Speaker Unit. The unique rectangular shape of these components maximizes the diaphragm area for more punchy bass. It also reduces driver excursion while maintaining sound pressure, resulting in less distortion and greater vocal clarity.
Support for 8K UHD, 4K/120 pass-through, and Dolby Vision brings vivid visuals and quality sound to shows, movies, and fast paced video game play.
Enjoy music the way the artists truly intended with High-Resolution Audio for crystal-clear precision. Or discover a new way of listening with 360 Reality Audio for a truly immersive live concert or studio session experience. With the HT-A7000, your music comes to life like never before.
Using Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence), DSEE Extreme (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) upscales compressed digital music files in real time. Dynamically recognizing instrumentation, musical genres, and individual elements of each song, such as vocals or interludes, it restores the high-range sound lost in compression for a richer, more complete listening experience.
The HT-A7000 with built-in microphones intelligently measures the position of each speaker, vertically and horizontally, and optimizes sound to your room. The HT-A7000 lets you enjoy Sound Field Optimization with or without optional speakers. Activate this feature from initial settings or the home menu.
When connected to a BRAVIA TV with Acoustic Center Sync using the supplied cable, both the soundbar and the TV become the center speaker in your home cinema system. This enables sound to precisely match what's on the screen for a truly immersive experience.
With Acoustic Center Sync, you'll hear dialogue from exactly where the character is standing in the scene. Action and sound are precisely aligned, so your viewing becomes much more immersive.
With an integrated UI, soundbar settings automatically appear on the BRAVIA Quick Settings menu for easy control of sound modes, sound field, and volume.

The HT-A7000 is almost ready to go straight out of the box. Simply plug it in, connect to your TV using the HDMI eARC connection (if available; optical if not) and power on.

A: This soundbar should sound fine in your room. It'll definitely sound better than then TV.
Q: 2. I'm 82 and having trouble deciphering what the actors r saying. Will a sound bar help improve the problem and if so, what device do u recommend?
A: Richard, I have tinnitus so I am in the same sort of situation. This sound bar is great for helping me with the actors voices. I did have to turn on the 'night mode' button which really cuts down the bass but allows the voices to come through loud and clear. I highly recommend it.
Q: 3. Hello, Is it 2.5 or 3.5 inches height? Thanks!
A: This is 2.5" H.
Q: 4. Is the blue light on front of sound bar supposed to blink all the time?
A: The blue light on the Sony HT-S100F 120W Stereo Soundbar (B&H # SOHTS100F) is only supposed to blink when waiting for or pairing with a Bluetooth connection. Sony provides more detailed instructions on pairing a Bluetooth-enabled device on pages 22-24 of the manual: https://bhpho.to/4bRK4b3
Q: 5. Can more than one pair be used with the A7000 sound bar ?
A: Only 1 pair of the Sony SA-RS3S Wireless Rear Speakers can be used with a compatible soundbar.
Q: 6. How would you connect this to a home theatre projector? Does this need an a_v receiver?
A: The Sony HT-A9 4.0.4-Channel Wireless Home Theater System (BH # SOHTA9) is designed to connect directly to a television or projector equipped with HDMI eARC or ARC ports. An AV surround-sound, multi-channel, home theater receiver is not required or recommended.

A: That is correct. The Sony SA-RS3S Wireless Rear Speakers are specifically meant for use with the the HT-A7000 Soundbar.
Q: 8. Two-part question: the photos show this sound bar without any wires for connection to the tv or power. (I know there's a possibility to stream bluetooth from your phone, but I'm assuming the tv needs a wired connection.) Also, the back of the speaker has an "HDMI out" but only an "optical" TV in. Am I assuming correctly that you can connect to the TV with an ordinary HDMI cable, and that it's self-powered and plugs into an outlet? Thanks for any help for this sound bar newbie and sorry for the ridiculous questions!
A: This unit does require power- see specs below for connectivity options. Connectivity Inputs 1 x Optical TOSLINK USB Ports 1 x USB (Version Unspecified AC Input Power 120 VAC, 60 Hz Key Features 2-Channel Configuration Up to 120W of Total Power Bluetooth Audio Streaming S-Force Surround Sound Technology 1 x Optical-In / 1 x USB-In HDMI ARC Audio Includes Optical Cable
