Product Reviews

The sound quality is good especially the smaller speakers. I still need to learn how to set watching films on Prime it is not clear than TV films. May be I need to reduce tv remote sound to zero then increase sound by Sony remote. Song music is excellent. I would recommend this.

Excellent sound quality across the spectrum, music, tv and movies. Easy setup only negative item there is no HTML lead included in the pack, nothing shown in the advert when I purchased the system.

I bought this a few weeks ago, and I highly recommend it. It connects wireless to my sony bravia via Bluetooth connection. I also find it very easy to connect to your mobile for music lovers .

I'm so happy with the overall performance, and the bass is awesome.

Bought this about 3 weeks ago and finally set it up with rear wireless speakers and its the best surround sound i could have asked for. Quick to switch on. Linked with tv remote automatically for volume control and easy to use and underatand. Love that i have the option to lower the sub volume indepedantly but ill likely never do that as i love the bass

Always purchased Sony for it's quality in build and sound and this keeps up with those standards

Brought as a replacement for my Sony 2.1 speakers. The difference in incredible and the surround sound it almost cinema quality. The rear speakers fit with a cable but then are connected via Bluetooth to the front speakers. You can hear the sound from every area of the room

Wanted Big sound with a small budget....This is exactly what needed. Thanks Sony !!!!

So far so good. It's a vast upgrade to my old blu-ray Sony system, which was over 10 years old. SEtup is easy and I love the power going to the sub.

I think most of my very positive reviews.are included below. Thank You Sony!!!

My first Sony product. Not disappointed, especially with the surround sound. It fills our living room and perfectly separates sounds and instruments, no matter what you're listening to. It's super easy to assemble and delivers right on point. The user and assembly manuals were very helpful and still are whenever I need a reference. The only thing that has still failed is updating it to the latest software. Everything else is 100%. NEXT UP: Getting myself a BRAVIA, 4K, or 8K, 65".

Our TV failed after serving us for 13 years, we purchased a much bigger TV, with android TV built in. Our old surround sound system was also dated, and required constant input from a remote, so with a smart TV, with arc, earc, cec compatible, the surround sound system we had was not up to the job. So after extensive searching, and gathering of information I had whittled it down to just 3 units, using a comparison option on a major retailer site I was able to reduce the list to one. The Sony ht-s40r was exactly what I needed, had all the features I needed, and more, along with a great option menu it can be tuned to suit the room, with a nearly wireless setup for the rear speakers it reduces the number of wires running round the room. After initial setup I tried a few different sources to check out the sound, including a signal generator, with this system able to produce sounds from as low as 10hz and all the way up it makes whatever you are listening to fill the room with sound, the front and center sound bar has a great range of frequency, and the sound is being broadcast wide from the speaker setup, so the sounds appear to come from all around the room, listening to special effects a train sounded as though it drove through my room, from right to left, through the center. And all backed up by the rumble from the sub, which is clear and responsive, and handles deep sounds effortlessly, being able to feel the rumble, as well as hearing it is incredible. All in all I would thoroughly recommend this speaker system, setup was easy, and along with clear instructions on the Sony website and setup manual, it didn't take long to get the sound I wanted. Watching a movie is so immersive, and is a vast improvement from my old system, along with the massive power levels it can be used to pump music over big distances, 600w output is probably not necessary, but is nice. The ability to adjust the output to rear speakers to match distance from listening position is easy to get the sound balanced. Arc , earc, works flawlessly, and means I don't need the remote to hand all the time, as it switches on and off with the tv. my only comments for Sony would be to make it so the standby time could be adjusted, rather than just on or off, the time is fairly short before it powers off, if you pause what you are watching for a period of time, it goes into standby, it will not automatically come back on when the program is resumed, at which point you will need to switch it back on using the remote, I have switched my automatic standby off, it still goes on and off with the tv, but will remain on while the program is in standby. And the other comment would be to supply either as an option, or in the kit extention leads for the rear speakers, I have a power supply nearer one side than the other, so the cable is too long one side, and very short the other side, obviously adapting the cables by shortening one and adding it to the other would fix the problem, but would also invalidate the warranty, when asked my reply from Sony, was not to use after market cables as this would invalidate the warranty, and cutting the cables would also invalidate the warranty, so catch 22, I expect I will ask the question again and see if I get an answer which relates to the original problem, I didn't ask about after market cables, but did they do an extension cable. Other than these minor issues I am more than happy with my purchase, my old system was adapted to fit the room, and wire extended, but had push fit connections on the speakers, so I purchased a roll of high grade speaker cable and replaced them.

Powerful for the price. easy to install, makes movies more enjoyable to watch.

replaced 8year old samsung soundbar and sub with 3d surround after the motherboard fried which was excellent for sound but this sony 5.1 wireless Bluetooth centre/l/r rear setup is another level, helicopters, police cars sound like they are outside the frontroom window and my gaming setup has another level of immersion because of all the extra sound effects that are now present all around, it has some hidden sttings also to adjust the distance and volume level of rear speakers to accommodate small medium and large sized living rooms
