Sony HT-S2000 Soundbar Overview

[@petermaz701]

I purchased the sound bar, and really quite pleased with it. On the phone app, you need to engage the feature that equalize the sound it makes the sound bar much louder.

[@Victoria-bl4tw]

I’ve read that the dialogue is barely audible on lower volumes. Have you experienced this? Also, I understand that there is a lag when adjusting the volume. Any problems with this?

[@petermaz701]

@@Victoria-bl4tw In the setting you must put the auto volume selection in the on position. It will increase the volume across the broad. Big difference.

[@Victoria-bl4tw]

Thank you! How about when you’re changing the volume. Is the lag significant?

[@petermaz701]

@@Victoria-bl4tw not that I noticed any lag

[@prasenjitsau6031]

Can you tell me how much time soundbar takes to ON/ ready to play. In my case, it takes around 2.30 min.

Hi, can you help with my printer, it's a HP Wireless Envy 4270. It keeps on saying replace ink colour, after doing this it still dies work. Also why do we have to link it with HP INK System Online. Can it not be printing without the services of HP Ink. ie Do printing without the HP Ink Services, just do Pri ting between my laptop &/or Mobile. Someone said that there is a chip which to carve out ( which connects HP Printer to HP Ink Services ) Thank You Regards Jay 3:01

[@ridgebrown4482]

Do they make a extension cord for the Sony sound bar HTS 2000😊

[@abtelectronics]

@ridgebrown4482 Nothing specific for that model. You would be find using a standard extension cord if you need more length.

[@catalinplankton2524]

Hi! Thanks for your presentation. I have the HT S2000 for 3 weeks and works excellent. I downloaded the app and indeed you and adjust about everything from there. But, I tried to check for update, from the remote control and I receiving a message like the device is not connected to the network. I don't know how to connect the device to my WiFi connection so your advice will be very useful. Thank you!

[@mazjehangir892]

Hi, I am looking at either this or the Samsung Q600C and whist I understand that Sony di have their proprietry sound trickery processing to sumulate atmos, the Q600C has upfiring speakers and a separate subwoofer. Which one would you reccomend out of the 2? Btw I have a Sony 65inch Bravia tv. Thanks again.

[@abtelectronics]

@mazjehangir892 In this case, you're going to get a better Atmos experience from the Q600C because it has discreet channels for height. You may also want to look at the Signa S4 from Polk: www.abt.com/Polk-Audio-Signa-S4-Sound-Bar-And-Wireless-Subwoofer-3004430100101/p/171444.html

[@HifiCentret]

Can everything be controlled by the remote? I don't get the impression that it can. Remote looks too simple and doesn't seem like full manual is online. I'm a bit put off by the requirement of an app. Suddenly app is discontinued and your mobile OS updated and voila one disposeable piece of electronics which for all other diffinitions work fine. *I do like the external PSU though. It means that should PSU fail (common in modern electronics since the PSU is switchmode) then it is really easy to replace. Sure downside is another box but it's small so that tradeof I'm willing to do.

[@abhinandande]

Nope. You Need The Sony Companion App.

[@TheTecno21]

can you connect it to the pc with a usb that is provided by them ?

[@abtelectronics]

@TheTecno21 The USB is only for connecting a thumb drive with audio on it. Your PC would need to have an HDMI with ARC or an optical audio output for that to work.

[@fredc8487]

Does it support Sony ACCUSTIC sound sync as in the a ht-a series sound bars

[@abhinandande]

Nope!!

[@Wondering_Fireball]

Does this sound bar work with the XR tv’s speakers or turns them off?

[@Legenkilla]

I believe this one turns them off. The next model up works with the tv

[@Wondering_Fireball]

@@Legenkilla, what model is that?

[@Victoria-bl4tw]

Does this Soundbar downmix surround sound to stereo? I’m a little convén about this.

[@abhinandande]

Sony Has It's Proprietary Surround Tech Which Acts As Dolby Atmos.

[@syngonsmythe38]

Hello, which one has better sound, this Sony or Sonos beam gen 2?

[@abhinandande]

This One Has More Bass Than Gen 2.

[@massimilianomassi3080]

Can I Connect the soundbar to pc? If yes how?

[@abtelectronics]

@massimilianomassi3080 If your PC has an optical output or an HDMI ARC port, but those are very uncommon to find on computers. You could try using an analog to digital adapter also, but we can't guarantee the quality will be very good doing it that way. You're better off looking at a soundbar like this one from Razer: www.abt.com/Razer-Leviathan-V2-PC-Gaming-Soundbar-With-Subwoofer-RZ0503920100R3U1/p/189990.html This is designed specifically to work with PCs.

[@BarryCrowhurst-ml2cs]

Hi I’ve just ordered the Sony Bravia XR XR55X90L Will this model link up with the tv surround do you know

[@kodalidanisudhakar9852]

I too have the same TV and sound bar

[@pratikkumarnet]

Urgent question. I’m going to buy the sound bar but I need your suggestion. Can I use this/any other Dolby Atmos sound bar in a non-Dolby Atmos Tv? I mean when I play a Dolby Atmos content on Netflix from a non dolby atmos tv do you think I will experience Dolby Atmos effect? Or do I need to have Dolby Atmos enabled TV?

[@abtelectronics]

@pratikkumarnet Yes, you can use an Atmos ready soundbar with a non-Atmos TV. The soundbar will still work, you just won't get the dedicated Atmos effects.

[@mayankkumar-do7qf]

This v/s g700 What are the differences In case I don’t choose to buy subs/surround sound.

[@abhinandande]

This Has A Very Good Integrated Soundbar and Overall Better Clarity and Wider Soundstage Than G700.

[@randydrew66]

Just so you know, the USB in the back is not for audio, it's only used to update the firmware.

[@abtelectronics]

@randydrew66 For this particular model, the USB port does support music playback. It's possible that in other markets there is a limit, but on the US version you can play back music.

[@randydrew66]

@@abtelectronics Odd, I heard from another reviewer that wasn't the case. Thanks for clearing that up!

[@abtelectronics]

@randydrew66 Happy to help!

[@vhira]

Would you recommend this over the Sony hta3000?

[@abtelectronics]

@vhira The HTA3000 is the better of the two soundbars. It has the same power as the HTS2000 at 250 Watts, but in addition it works with 360 Reality Audio, has Sound Field Optimization to optimize the audio to the room, Acoustic Center Sync support with Bravia XR TVs, HiRes audio support, and wi-fi for features like Apple Airplay 2, Chromecast, and Spotify Connect.

[@vhira]

@@abtelectronics thanks. I have a 55 inch Sony A80L and I do want to buy a compact soundbar and I am interested in the A3000 but I can’t make my mind up if I should go for the Sonus Beam Gen 2, Bose 600 or the new Sennheiser Ambeo Mini. I am based in the UK and I went to a leading electrical retailer that has a chain of stores in the UK and I spoke to one salesman and he said that if you own a Sony tv then you should stick to Sony and buy a Sony soundbar. What’s your opinion on this?

[@abtelectronics]

@vhira It depends on how you're going to use it. If you plan on adding speakers to other rooms of your home to create a wireless music system then going with the Sonos or Bose would be our choice. They have easy to use apps and the speakers sound terrific. If you're only planning on using the soundbar by itself then the Sony would be a great choice. The good thing about the models you're considering is that they all sound great so whatever you decide on, it's very likely you're going to be happy.

[@vhira]

@@abtelectronics hey no worries. I had my eyes on the Sony HTA3000 because I think it’ll work well with Sony A80L Bravia oled tv. I have heard on other KZbin videos that it gives you a warm sound signature. But I hope the sound doesn’t sound tinny or flat. Mind you I had my eyes on the Sony HTA500 but it’s too big for tv stand which is also in the corner of my living room.

[@saviodcruz83]

Hello, great work on the video. Crisp and informative. I just wanted to know if this soundbar can connect to my Sony Bravia 108 cm (43 inches) 4K Ultra HD Smart LED Google TV KD-43X80K (via Sony Sync) Will be great if you can check and let me know

[@abtelectronics]

@saviodcruz83 Yes, this will work great with an X80K series TV via Bravia Sync.

[@zest1989]

Is it suitable to pair with my lg c2? Or else should I get lg soundbar?

[@abtelectronics]

@toksheikh1 This will work with an LG TV, but if you go with a compatible LG soundbar you'll be able to take advantage of LG specific features like Sound Sync. If you need assistance finding the right one for your budget be sure to give our audio experts a call at 800-860-3736 for help. They'll also be able to tell you about any promotions we can't advertise online.

[@consNpros]

Thanks for detailed review, I had one query and would be great if you please help me. Query: When I switched ON my Sony TV, the soundbar took around four minutes to give me audio output and meanwhile the soundbar shows Please Wait. I had it connected via HDMI. Is this expected 🤔 this much of time for giving audio output. Thanks in Advance!

[@abtelectronics]

@consNpros Occasionally you'll experience a slight delay, but that seems too long. You may want to try unplugging the TV and soundbar from power for a couple minutes and unplug the HDMI cord. Then reconnect everything. Sometimes the "handshake" between the TV and soundbar can get messed up randomly and needs to be reset. If you purchased your soundbar from Abt you can also give our in-house technicians a call at 800-860-3736 and we can help try to walk you through the process over the phone.
