Overview
A surround amplifier with HDMI switching powers the speakers and passes high dynamic range video from sources through to the TV. Sony's S-Force PRO Front Surround can also simulate surround from just two speakers, and this bundle adds speaker wire, banana plugs and an HDMI cable.
Everything needed to wire a room comes in one box, from a spool of speaker wire and banana plugs to an HDMI cable and a calibration microphone. Network features are thin, with Bluetooth as the only wireless link listed, so music streaming leans on a phone.
Who it's for
Apartment and den setups starting from a TV and a set of passive speakers get the amplifier, switching and cabling in one purchase. Rooms that need more speaker channels or networked whole-home audio will outgrow it.
Pros and cons
- Speaker wire, banana plugs and HDMI cable included
- Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG pass-through
- Calibration microphone for speaker setup
- Bluetooth streaming from phones
- Wi-Fi not listed among connections
- Pandora is the only named streaming service
- Five channels cap future speaker additions
- Bundled cables are H&A, not Sony
Performance notes
Sound depends mostly on the speakers attached and on the calibration run with the included microphone, which tunes output to the room. In pass-through the receiver leaves the picture alone, so the TV decides how HDR content looks.
