excellent sound and simple setup for cheap price
HT-S40R 27 September 2023 by mylo78 (United Kingdom)
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

Not worth the Money
HT-S40R 08 February 2024 by KS648 (United Kingdom)
The instructions only cover the basics and miss out some very important settings. Support is little more than useless; they just send you a copy of the manual. For the money I would expect a far better quality product

How can I update the software? It’s not quite as excellent as I had hoped, but it could be better once updated.

Good entry level would recommend it
HT-S40R 27 April 2025 by PeteG1 (United Kingdom)
The blue light discount was a well appreciated extra. The soundbar is awesome. Especially with the two rear speakers making a full dound experience. They also help when watching TV at night with the sound down. The wireless connection made installation so simple. Also the soundbar turns on/off and volume with the tv remote. Good specification for most users.

Works as expected

In my case I couldn't use eARC hdmi port because it was already in use but optical port did the trick. Very good sound if you have a proper 5.1 content.

HT-S40R 24 January 2025 by DemetriousPFHL (United Kingdom)
I brought this to replace a much older system that was failing and am so glad that I did. Simple to set up to the TV and the wireless back surround speakers (wireless to main unit but wired to sub amp) make a great difference to the sound. Brilliant three dimensional sound enhances whatever you are watching. Well worth its cost, which in itself was quite reasonable.
