There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
For music streaming, over all, this speaker plays nicely, but dont expect anything of superb quality.
For tv, its excelent. No question
One additional flaw should be mentioned: The Soundbar has a feature called "Auto-Standby" That is misnamed. It should be called "Auto-Off". The idea is that after 15 min of no sound being received, the Soundbar should go into low-power standby and remain there until a signal comes back. My subwoofer on my stereo works this way. With the Sony Soundbar, after 15 min the bar turns off and will not come back on if the signal comes back. It is powered off entirely and will not come back on unless you push the button on top of the unit or on the Soundbar's remote. Again, you are juggling remotes.
Amended; Eight days after I wrote the above review and 45 days after receiving the Sony HT-CT80, it quit. It is now dead - no lights no sound it doesn't respond to the remote or the buttons on the end of the unit. 45 days is past the Amazon return period so I'm going to have to work with the Sony one year warranty to get relief.
Resolved?
After contacting Sony I received a replacement soundbar. This was not an easy process - at one point I had an email that said I should return the unit for repair and a voicemail saying I should not return it. I eventually sorted it out and returned it for replacement. About ten days later a new one arrived. So far it's working fine, but this is more trouble than it should be.
Top reviews from other countries
I listen to FLAC lossless music and it doesn't disappoint both in bass and high frequencies.
This soundbar, seems well built, and sounds great. It looks cool, and does everything it claims to.
I do have one nagging issue with it though, which another reviewer has already mentioned, which is it's auto-shutdown feature.
I've heard that this feature might be mandated, under the "energy efficiency" effort, however, for me, it's a huge annoyance. It means every time i want to watch tv, i have to turn the tv and soundbar on, separately. Either with remote, or using the button on the side.
AND if i take too long getting a snack... (more than 15 minutes) I have to turn it on again....
I hate this feature. alot.
I'm not sure if there are soundbars that always STAY on.
Or, if there are ones that turn on, with your television (perhaps using HDMI)...
but if i was in the soundbar market again, i'd be looking for one of those instead.
