The 5.1.2ch HT-A5000 is packed with class-leading technology for all- dimensional immersive sound and voice clarity. X- balanced speaker units minimize distortion while the up-firing speakers and beam tweeters fill the room to give an ultra-immersive listening experience. Built-in subwoofers provide an additional boost to low-end frequencies.
High-quality video passthrough
The HT-A5000 is equipped with 8K to support the latest video formats including Dolby Vision and 4K/120 passthrough. From vivid visuals to smoother, the clearer movement for responsive video gameplay, the HT-A5000 has you covered.

Get fuller, richer sound with optional equipment
Two subwoofer choices (SA-SW3 and SA-SW5) and a set of rear speakers (SA- RS3S) are optional equipment designed to help you enhance the immersion of your content. The subwoofer and rear speaker accessories take out any guesswork of connecting, as they automatically pair to the HT-A5000 once they are powered on.
Effortless control and immersion with BRAVIA
With an integrated UI, home theater system settings automatically appear on the BRAVIA Quick The settings menu for easy control of sound modes, sound field, and volume. 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 system4. This enables sound to precisely match what’s on the screen for a truly immersive experience.
Easy UI and setup
An OLED front panel display is on the soundbar for quick viewing of the volume level, sound mode, or input. An on-screen user interface helps you make more detailed adjustments to your HT-A5000 settings easily. The HT-A5000 is almost ready to go straight out of the box. Simply plug it in, connect to your TV using the HDMI eARC connection, and power on or connect wirelessly to your TV. With USB, optical, and analog audio in as well as HDMI in and out (eARC) and S-CENTER OUT for compatible BRAVIA models, you have all the connections you need to enjoy a breathtaking surround sound experience.
