I am a little disappointed with the output when used with the TV or blue ray player etc. You have to max out on the volume to get any wow factor. However it pushes some watts when connected by Bluetooth to any media player. Shame output isn't the same with the TV.

HT-RT5 17 July 2020 by Pablito2018 (United Kingdom)

We had to get a new sound system as we couldn't connect the old one to the new TV. I wasn't into sound bars and this model was the only one left with 2 speakers for the back. I am so happy the sound is great the design too it look slick, trendy... . It switched off by itself when know it's not in use just amazing. Easy to install and work out.

The sound is bad

HT-RT5 21 December 2018 by mohafidz (Malaysia)

I bought this soundbar this month. The sound really bad so I went to Sony Service Centre in Ipoh, they done the checking & they told me there was no problem at all with this soundbar & told me this sound bar just sound like this and they cannot do anything. I'm so frustrated bought this soundbar if i knew its sound like this. My old cheap speaker sound better than this soundbar.

A very good sound system at a economical price

HT-RT5//M SP1 11 May 2018 by New user (Singapore)

I bought this system and has been using it for the past 5 months. The quality of the sound system is very good, at a reasonable price, and the wireless connectivity do away with the messy wiring. The only drawback is that the auto-trigger on/off feature only works with my Sony TV is that it needs to be connect to HDMI1 and not any other ports. Other than this, I am perfectly happy with the system.

Easy set up

HT-RT5 26 August 2017 by Sehiel (United Kingdom)

I bought this for a home cinema that I set up . Setup was straight forward . The wireless sub woofer and rear speakers linked up remotely with the soundbar themselves,so that was handy . The sound quality is very mpressive , I am an amateur when it comes to stuff like this and I was very impressed . The only problem I have had so far is connecting with Bluetooth . It's a bit temperamental, however great when it works. I have it connected it to my plays toon with an optical cable. You have to go into setting and change the output to optical cable if you do it this way. It's the same if you connect it up to your television with an optical cable . You have to go to setting and change the output to external speakers. I have also noticed that if I stream programs or movies through my PlayStation you only get sound from the sound bar and subwoofer. I think this is what happens if you stream , not sure though, so that is a little dissapointing.

Nice design but low volume

HT-RT5//M SP1 26 July 2017 by Whysee (Singapore)

Overall setup of 3.1 in a sound bar + 2 surround speakers is as minimalist as a true surround system can get. Fits my wall mount TV well. Volume from TV is very soft compared to other input. There should be a normalise volume feature.

Does whats written on the tin

HT-RT5 19 March 2017 by LCC Chris (United Kingdom)

Bought it after xmas 2016. It is easy to set up. It could be better and easier instalation guide as it would be difficult for someone with a lack of DIY knowledge. The sou d is good and provide many different features for sound. Unfortuately you can not alter the sound manual, like bass and treble etc. But overall a very good product only a bit overpriced but therefore its a SONY

Superb Sound

HT-RT5 17 December 2016 by Knobby BRW (United Kingdom)

Nice looking equipment that compliments my TV perfectly. The sound is very impressive, most apparent when watching or listening to music. Individual controls for the Sub Woofer and a "night" button on the remote are very handy if you are concerned about upsetting the neighbours.

Amazing sound and gorgeous looks!

HT-RT5 21 September 2016  (United Kingdom)

So, I've had this soundbar sound system for 3 months now....and it's stunning! Amazing sound, the surround speakers are really easy to hang on a couple of screws, and the surrounding effect from them is superb. I would say that I would like a switch on the satellite speakers somewhere to turn them off, because they are constantly plugged in behind the sofa so I can't reach the plugs! Subwoofer is really powerful.....not needed to have it up too loud, more than capable of really upsetting my neighbours! Songpal App is excellent too...definitely download to enhance your enjoyment. Brilliant system....I'd like it if the soundbar connections were more thought-out so it can sit right against the wall....as they are now it sticks out the depth of the HDMI cable connection.

Great soundbar for my SONY LED TV and PS4. I can use one remote control for the TV, Soundbar and PS4 using Bravia Sync. With a bluetooth headset, I can watch movies, play games or listen to music wirelessly at night, while everyone is asleep. Very satisfied with this product.

Purchased to go with 65inch bravia TV. The sound is excellent as you would expect. The extra features really make the difference. Total integration with the TV so that one remote does all. Links to Spotify. Cast to it via Bluetooth and Google cast so you can use your phone as a media player. Just completely ace.

Very happy BUT...

HT-RT5 17 January 2016 by TheLuggage (United Kingdom)

I've had it for a month and I'm happy with the quality of the build and the sounds is amazing. The only gripe I have is that after setting everything up with the brackets and the screws in the wall I plugged the HDMI cables in (3 of them) and realised they all faced upwards?? So have had to put it on the cabinet (which I didn't want) and recover and paint the wall.

Has some good features if they work. I have Sonos too and although it picks it up on the network cant seem to play the files. Though I may need to set something or other to make it work. Sound overall is prity good so much better with the rear speakers. I have a sony tv with speaker each side of the screen cant have these on at the same time which is a little annoying. Overall I'm pleased with it.
