Sony HT-SF200 2.1 Channel Compact Sound Bar with Built-In Subwoofer Black | HTSF200.CEL

Product Information

The Dolby Duel surround sound system and built in subwoofer is superb and the units size of just under 2ft or 600mm in length will fit on or under most TV stands.

It also doesn’t have a good bass performance, but this won’t matter as much since there isn't much bass on center channels to begin with. It adds more depth to these new wafer thin smart tv’s and the sound fills our small cottage lounge adequately. The included setup guide is very basic and maybe I’m a novice but after following the instructions to the letter I could not get the soundbar to omit TV sound. It does not require any setup or programming, so you can pop in the batteries and continue using your Sony HT-SF200.

Over its ARC connection, the Sony HT-S200F supports surround sound via the Dolby Digital sound format. However, when pushed to its max volume, there’s a small jump in THD across the range, but this shouldn’t be audible to most, especially with real-life content. New style TV has very poor sound quality and this soundbar certainly provides much better sound quality, both for speech and for music. It also doesn’t support DTS, which is disappointing, especially if you watch a lot of Blu-ray movies.

Very easy to set-up requiring only a power lead connection and I used an HDMI cable from TV to soundbar. Its soundstage is also noticeably small and is even narrower than the bar itself, which is short to begin with.I am really pleased and glad I purchased, it's so easy to set up just plug and play and listen to the clear pure quality sound and a good bluetooth mode also. configuration won't result in the most accurate and clear representation of surround objects in the soundstage.

However, if you want to use your soundbar as a hub between devices, you may prefer the Sony because it has an HDMI Out port. The sound is marginally improved - with the (small) sub-woofer having some advantage (in addition, it does fit well beneath the tv).Sound Bar features Bluetooth connectivity, giving you the ability to wirelessly connect either your phone, tablet or laptop to enjoy music in seconds. The Sony is also smaller and easier to fit in your setup, on top of being a bit better-built, although still cheaply made. It work's a treat, I have changed the settings in my TV to tell it that it has the sound bar, so use the active sound from there. The Sony HT S200F can reproduce surround sound in the Dolby Digital format over its Optical Audio In.
