Overview
The Sony HT-S60 is a 2.0-channel home theater sound system rated at 1000 watts, connecting to a TV or source over an optical audio cable. It comes in black and measures about 35.2 inches wide by 3.8 inches deep.
With only optical listed as the connection method, this system depends on a source device, typically a TV, that has an optical audio output rather than HDMI ARC or Bluetooth. The 2.0-channel layout means left and right sound without a separate center or surround channel built in. At 51.2 pounds it's heavier than the slim bar dimensions alone would suggest, so check the listing for what's included before ordering.
