Does not sync properly with my Bravia TV
I have been a loyal Sony customer for years. Although this sounbar is listed as compatible with by Bravia XBR65850F, it will not sync properly. Sony telephone support had me reconnect and said they would call back; the connection was not maintained and the tech never called back. Email support was worthless, and the telephone support is not available on the weekends - which, for someone working Monday - Friday is not a viable option. If this was my first experience with a Sony product it would also be my last.

WASTE OF MONEY!! SUBWOOFER CUTS OUT!
Three months after I bough the HTZ9F sound bar the subwoofer cuts in and out. According to reviews I have read, I am not the only person who has issues with the subwoofer. I have try everything I have come across online to try to fix this issue but nothing works. It is terrible that this unit was SO EXPENSIVE and it broke on me right away. I expected better reliability from a brand such as Sony. Even more when they are selling a sound bar for $700 that broke right away.

Too much money, Too many problems.
I purchased this soundbar and rear speakers and when it works it is amazing! The Atmos leaves something to be desired but the sound is in general is just fantastic. Powerful sub, voices are clear and, setup was extremely simple.

However, for whatever reason when I cast media to my A9G everything will be fine and then the sound just disappears. Reboots of the TV and soundbar don't fix the issue. Fiddling with the eARC, PCM, everything just don't fix the problem. I thought perhaps it was the app (Disney+) because when I played a different movie sound was heard. When I switched apps and even going to the cable box there was sound output. We watched WW84 and every 20 mins or so the sound would cut out for about 2-3 seconds.

This soundbar costs too much dang money to be having these problems. I will be returning this unit very soon.

Reboots itself every 30-60 minutes
This unit went from an occasional reboot a year ago to now not going more than 60 minutes without rebooting itself. Followed Sony recommended procedures plus some internet ones and getting worse. Sony told me to contact their authorized repair facility for a repair for what looks like an engineering problem that many are seeing. Very disappointed in Sony!

It is good when it works!
It is good when it works! but it has a known issue with sound cut off and you would have to flip from audio system output to tv speakers to audio system again to get the sound. I purchased a high quality eARC HDMI cable and it is somewhat better than the included HDMI cable but still happens. I hope Sony updates the firmware as a lot of people are having the same issue

Fantastic Sound Quality
We bought this soundbar and subwoofer recently and are so pleased with the quality of the sound. It is definitely great value for the price and it would give some of the other sound systems out there a run for their money.

Good sound, poor connection
I've had this system for about two months. The sound quality is great. There is an issue where the subwoofer cuts in and out. It is not consistent and I can't pin down a reason. Maybe interference, but I've moved the subwoofer around and it hasn't helped.

Can you wire the subwoofer and the rear speakers to the sound bar? I've had wireless subwoofers lose connection with no option to just plug it in.
A shopper on Dec 4, 2020
  Thanks for your questions. The HT-Z9F has no provisions to connect a wired subwoofer or wired surround speakers.
Does this come with a remote control?
A shopper on Nov 23, 2020
