Overview

Not a soundbar or a speaker system, this Sony unit is an AV receiver that powers your own surround speakers and switches HDMI sources to the TV. It decodes Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, passes Ultra HD HDR video, and streams music over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay and Chromecast.

Object-based surround decoding, a deep HDMI switch and a broad set of streaming options in one chassis make it a hub for a full speaker layout. Speakers are not part of the package and the box contents are not itemized, so the full system needs separate purchases.

Who it's for

Living rooms with a set of passive surround speakers and a stack of HDMI sources get one hub that powers and switches all of them. People wanting a compact soundbar setup should not buy a full receiver.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Decodes Dolby Atmos and DTS:X
  • Ultra HD HDR passthrough on HDMI
  • Twin subwoofer pre outs
  • Chromecast, AirPlay and Spotify Connect built in
Cons
  • Speakers sold separately
  • Box contents not listed
  • Listing gives conflicting power and channel figures
  • Heavy and deep for shallow shelves

Performance notes

Output into each speaker depends on how many channels are driven at once and on speaker impedance, so the total power figure says little about any one channel. Atmos height effects need height speakers wired to those channels. Wireless streaming quality follows the home network, while the Ethernet port gives a steadier link.
