The labels also include important step-by-step instructions on how to inspect and sign for your shipment. In addition to the manufacturer's standard foam and corrugated packaging, we also apply a special shock absorption polyethylene material to the outer carton of every TV. This safeguard will disperse energy from impact during transit, and eliminate damage to the product itself. Our professional appointment-based delivery service allows you to open and inspect your new TV prior to signing and accepting the TV.

Discover wide 360 Spatial Sound with optional rear speakers from Sony1
A wide listening area fills every part of your living space, so your family and friends get the same sound experience. The listening area is not limited to the front of the TV but encompasses a much wider space.
Optimized for speaker position
There's no need to precisely place the optional speakers. The soundbar with built-in microphones does it all for you, intelligently measuring the position of each speaker, and optimizing sound to your room.3 The soundbar lets you enjoy Sound Field Optimization with optional speakers. Activate the simple calibration process during initial setup or from the home menu.4.
Immersive surround sound from a soundbar
The HT-A3000 has 3.1 channels: three front speakers, including a center speaker for clear dialog, plus a built-in dual subwoofer for deep bass. With Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force PRO Front Surround, it creates virtual surround sound that comes from all around, so you can fully enjoy the thrill of Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X®.
Surround made simple
Using front speakers only, Sony's unique digital sound field processing technology virtually reproduces the surround sound field, with audio coming at you from both sides. You can enjoy rich, cinematic surround sound without cluttering your living space.
So immersive. So real.
Discover a new way of listening with 360 Reality Audio5 for a truly immersive live concert or studio session experience.
Experience sound from above
Thanks to Sony's virtual-surround technology, the soundbar can position sound in vertical space-so you can experience 3D audio without the need for in-ceiling or up-firing speakers. As well as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, Vertical Surround Engine lends a more realistic, multidimensional sound to other formats too.
Built-in dual subwoofer for deep bass sound
The soundbar has a powerful built-in dual subwoofer in the center-so you can enjoy deep bass sound with minimal equipment cluttering up your living space.
Center speaker for clear dialog
A dedicated center speaker ensures that voice sounds can be clearly heard, whether it's quick-fire dialog in your favorite TV show or whispered lines in a movie. It's great for music too, ensuring a richly detailed listening experience.
Sound from advanced speakers and a subwoofer
Powerful speakers-three front speakers for surround and a built-in dual subwoofer for rumbling bass-work together to deliver clear, wide-ranging sound throughout your room.
Extended bass
It takes a lot of power to accurately reproduce low bass frequencies, and there's often a risk of distortion (A). To combat this, the soundbar uses Sony's unique signal processing technology to deliver dynamic extended bass, at any volume level (B). This graph is for illustration purposes. 1. Level 2. Low 3. High 4. Frequency.
Clearer voice
The deeper the bass sound, the more the speaker diaphragm moves. This can cause an effect called phase modulation distortion when a full-range diaphragm needs to simultaneously reproduce higher frequencies. Sony's unique signal processing technology compensates for this effect for clearer dialog and more localized sound. The improvements in the modulated waveform enhance clarity and help prevent vocal distortion. This graph is for illustration purposes. 1. Voice waveform 2. Bass waveform 3. Modulated waveform.
X-Balanced Speaker Unit
The built-in dual subwoofer and front speakers feature an X-Balanced Speaker Unit. The unique rectangular shape of these speakers maximizes the diaphragm area for more punchy bass. It also reduces driver excursion while maintaining sound pressure, resulting in less distortion and greater vocal clarity.
Upscale your digital music in real time
Using Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence), DSEE Extreme™ (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) upscales compressed digital music files in real time. Dynamically recognizing instrumentation, musical genres, and individual elements of each song, such as vocals or interludes, it restores the high-range sound lost in compression for a richer, more complete listening experience. A = Expanded audio dynamics (strings and whisper-quiet subtleties) B = Restored high frequencies (acoustic and vocal instrument realism).
Get a fuller, richer sound with a wireless subwoofer and rear speakers
An optional wireless subwoofer allows a built-in dual subwoofer in the soundbar to handle bass and vocals, with the optional wireless subwoofer focusing on low-range sound. For even more cinematic thrills with sound directly behind you, add our optional wireless rear speakers.Best with Sony TVs
