this set can do things my older 15 K in EUROS set with big speakers could not do tech does change over years and it makes it easier to place in a room and the W.A.F. is much more fun and ease !

Thanks for this again keep doing the great ! i own it since May this year this by far one of the best and better than Soundbars the only thing is the drop out moments if they fix that on this original as un upgrade by replacing the black unit by a better non drop out version i buy it in a minute

This is a well made video and review well done.

Loving it

Hi, can i use the sub without a soundbar?

How the hell do you get the thing to link with the sound bar been trying all week long

How does it perform at lower volumes? I live in an apartment so I don't think I am gonna go above 30% and from what I have read HT-A9 sounds a little "anemic" at low volume. Is it true?

Thank you for sharing the files. Totally agree with you DVD days had better sounds either in 5.1 or dts

Wow, Sony dropped the ball. I'd buy it in a heartbeat if it wasn't hamstrung like that with no 3D and downgraded resolution. Oh, well, maybe the VR3 in six years will fix that.

Hey what is that table you have over the subwoofer? Such a good space saver

hi, do you still using Sony HT-A9?

I watched and i thought it was stupid. Looked like a toy Godzilla at times. Not sure what all the hype is about this movie but the effects just didn't match what everyone is saying. Looked like a 100k budget movie

Have you had any issues with audio drop outs? It seems like it's common issue upon reading a lot of posts online

Thanks for this review so open most are to Biased this one is super for countries were you can not listening is a shop because most Sony stores are gone all died due partly COVID killed financial those shops i think .

I just got bought one online for $400 o Dollars brand new. 😃

You would think when your comparing modes that boost low volume sounds, and turn down high volume sounds (or when comparing anything really), that you wouldn't pretty much just play white noise (the crowd), and maybe play a part from an action movie or something that has high and low volume noises so you have something to compare

You seem impressed ...i thought about buying one a year ago...now Sony has released the QUAD.....the A9 is avalible for a bit less then the original price......i am going to get one 😅😅😅

Do u see your nose in the meddle?

HMZ what the hell is that lol never hear of that before

I just bought one today for my living room after home demo from Sony India team. I am the first buyer to purchase Sony A9M2 in my city. Got it for 2200$ along with SW5

Hi Blaze, my height ceiling is 10 feet, in sound setting for height, im not sure whether to set to low, default, or high? I can't differentiate between each of them. What's the purpose of these options?

Hi, Does HT A9 Box displays TRUEHD when playing TrueHD Atmos? i only shows Dolby Atmos 48KHZ for me, Can u confirm

Honestly, needing your phone to set it up would make me pass on it.

How does the HT A9 work without a center speaker? What did you have before and are you really happy with your speaker?

Just got mine based on this review for my apartment and it added a world of difference

I thought Sony owned the patient in OLED they couldn’t give us 4k resolution on the PSVR 2 But Apple did it with the Vision Pro?🤷🏻

One thing people misplace all the time is a remote. The one thing people never misplace is their smartphone. I like the idea of having the setup being on the smartphone

Btw, do you also have a link for the end table that houses your sw3 sub, thanks

Love this little subwoofer. I have this SW3 and the larger SW5 to match up with a couple of Sony A7000. Its a loud punchy subwoofer. Its a really nice speaker, highly recommended

I watched GMO 4K on Netflix premium at the highest bit rate. I found that the original Japanese cut dolby atmos sound was much more pronounced vs. the English dubbed take. Also, yet another HT-A9 firmware (1.784) was released on June 25th, way to go Sony. ;) Keep them coming Sony, please. Great movie review as usual. I especially enjoy your enthusiasm and commentary, keep it up. ;)

KZbin is stereo only. We are not able to hear it in surround sound, even if we have an Atmos or surround sound system at home.

@@blazinreviews2393 Let's say you don't have any good speakers (no A9 or Quad), but you have all the knowledge and experience with those speakers. Would you buy an A9 or Quad Home Theater?

So with the Quad and the subwoofer? Theres no need for the soundbar? TY

Is it good for movies as wire like onkio or yamaha ?? Please tell me

Doesn’t play in 5.1 or any surround sound it plays in 2 channel stereo only & it may also be just playing that 2 channel sound out of the surround speakers if you have particular settings set on the theatre system.

Superb Review as Usual..... 👍

Dude I have the HTA9 also and was using Advanced Audio Volume for months. I turned that off recently and the HTA9 really shines. The dynamic range is just so Mick wider. Give it a try 👍

Advanced Audio Volume or Advanced Auto Volume? my opinion be original 👍

Seriously Hollywood should get their act together. I think the in catering in Hollywood is the same budget as this whole movie. Sounds great though! 😉.

Do you have advanced auto volume on? And what volume do you listen at? What number? Thx.

Thanks for the review, can’t wait to check this out! Can you do a review of the Netflix stream and comparison between that and the 4K disk?

More 3D TV Return.

For some reason i can't get mine to output audio. It connects but i don't hear nothing from my sound bar. If i connect it to a smaller portable bluetooth speaker it works. So the usb works... i jus can't got it to work with my sound bar. I saw you mess with some settings on your tv or soumthing but i didn't know what to do on that. What settings do you have on your ps5? cuz that might help me figure out what going on.

Hey Blaze, great Video. I have also my HT… Question: I have my xbox series x connected to my Sony TV and via eARC to the HT… Playing now Dragons Dogma 2 it shows Dolby Vision but never Dolby Atmos when kt comes to sound, even though that game support that, I can oly choose standard, cinema, music and on. I not even remembering in the last 2 1/2 year with the HT that I had there Dolby Atmos displayed… Any ideas? Thanks. 😊

NONE of these videos show the required power cables, its basically misleading advertising given it makes it look like a clean box on the wall or Wireless speakers when its simply not true. It makes me think these people don't have this system in person.

I agree i preferred the cylinder look of the A9 unless these are wall mounted which would be very expensive given you don't really want to have a power cables running down the wall and having permanent plug sockets high up on the wall would be quite a risk. As far as colours, I agree plack should be an option and I would be surprised if it isn't but given the flat surface, some bright colours would be interesting so you could have arty Green or red or blue or yellow or purple square on your wall, not a horrible grey fabric.

I agree about the smartphone issue. The samsung q990C also forces you to use a smartphone to control everything and even if you try to use the provided remote all the sound settings are hidden away in multiple presses of the same button. Verrrrry annoying.

I've always wanted to try out the HTA9. I'll probably try to get one used. Hopefully people sell some on ebay for a decent price.
