NEW Sony RS5, HT-A5000, SW3 Unboxing + 1st Look!

Those CATS are cute ❤

Cat likes the foam sheets.

where did u get the testing videos from?

You are wrong - the vents on the side are for the woofers. Not to project sound sideways.

Cats and boxes ❤

So excited to see how mine sounds. Just ordered the A7000 and the RS5's. Didn't order the sub yet though. Wondering if it's really needed.

Thank you fir this video. I would like to ask you which apps we can use to get the 360 ?

Seems there were some issues that the volume on the SA RS5's was barely heard, even when put on max volume on remote. Is that solved now? I am planning to get the A3000 with the SA RS5. Anyone has that set? Would love to hear how it sounds. Shame the adapters on the SA RS5's are so big. And... what is the exact length off the power cable of the SA RS5? Thanks in advance. (Oh yeah, have not got a big livingroom so plan to go without the subwoofer first. )

when i switched on from plug.. buy rs5 speaker not connect automatically with soundbard.. every time press speaker power on button.. why its not connect automatically

Just curious, does your cat scratch the cloak on the subwoofer? i am thinking of buying sony A9 and the sub (SR5 or SR3), but i hesitate because of my cat

So are you team sw-3 or sw-5? I'm in a medium small basement area in a house.

Out of all the videos I've seen I like yours the best 👌 Thinking of maybe getting this in the future.

Anyone know what should be issue? Sony a83j ht a7000 aw5 subwofer and all worked great but once rear speakers are set upped sound from them is super low.. There's no way this is it.. We can barely hear noises from rear speakers.. Anyone have this issue? Cable is connected via earc as was said cable connected for center tv, subwoofer works great

Hello Jonah: Need suggestion, I have LG C2 OLED 83" and got one Sony A3000 at discounted price ~$330 (Which I can return, if needed)
The Tv wall setup what I have does not have good room for upward firing speaker (its inclosed inside cabinet), so I thought I will add two rear speaker (SA-RS5) with my A3000, will that give WoW effect or Shall I return A3000 and got something else. TV distance from my OLED is 12 feet.

I have this same setup. Do you have connection issues or disconnecting problems?

This is why you don't give freebies to clueless reviewers. The upfiring speakers were mentioned only once with soundbar unboxing.

Do they provide wall mounts for the RS5s?

I wonder how easy it is to change battery on the RS5 when time comes? And that could very well be before one expects it. If by accident you leave it discharged and it with a little time goes below what protection circuit will allow you to recharge then you might not guaranteed need new cells but you need to be able to disassemble it, measure cells manually before determing them safe to recharge (protection circuits usually have rather high threshold value) and then manually by bypass give them a gentle boost to charge above threshold.
I mean they're not exactly cheap and I can see myself using them for 10 years or more. I can do basic electronics repair but whether it'll be a nice job or not depends on how easy they are to dis/reassemble without breaking anything.

Pls don't unbox SARS. Keep it in box.

Great review. Would you recommend the SA-SW3 or the SA-SW5. Also is it possible for you to post your settings, as I have connected it to my PS5 and I have noticed that it is quite quiet and I am struggling to get a setup I am comfortable with. I don't have either sub yet, thanks.

Will this set up sound loud enough in a 240 square feet room?

If you have an A5000 with the RS5's, I assume they turn into 7.1.4 surround.

Would you be able to get another set of RS5's and do 9.1.6?

Is Sony HT A 5000 is louder then Sonos arc?

I bought that soundbar and I love it but I can’t figure out why they don’t have an EQ and level control for the center channel? Any thoughts?

The best and smart choice! 💪

What’s useful about these surrounds is the wife approval factor. You can leave them powered off in the tv cabinet charging for normal day to day stuff, and then for a movie take them out and turn them on and do the quick optimization. The soundbar seamlessly changes its sound when adding or removing the surrounds, so it can be done with very little effort.

Great review, seems like some missed opportunities on those rears for sure, hopefully some firmware updates to come. Stereo mode (where soundbar can optionally be disabled) as you suggested definitely needed. But also having the ability use them independent of the whole system would give them some real appeal. I suspect the majority of people don't have so little space that they'll "bring them out" and put them away for movie night, so the ability to use them for example as a pair on the outdoor patio... would actually be useful. Hopefully they actually have wifi radios in them? Otherwise distance from soundbar could be a limitation.

83" A90J + PS5 + A7000 + SW5 + RS5 = 3D A/V PARADISE 🔊😃

I LOVE MY NEW SONY A7000 SOUNDBAR WITH 83" A90J OLED...PERFECT MATCH 🔊🖥

Can this rear speakers SA-RS 5 work with Samsung Soundbar Q 990B

Ok, love cats !

abolutely looking forward to the ht-a7000 before and after the firmware upgrade video

Unboxing is beyond stupid, everyone watching this should be ashamed.

Dude, you shouldn't sit that close to your display. LOL j/k

excellent keep up the videos

Hey Jonah. Do you plan on doing a full review on the A5000? And a comparison to the A7000 would be awesome. Thanks again for the amazing content

Would you recommend a HTA5000 with the sub and rears or the A7000 alone. It works out roughly same price for me.

Great review Jonah. Sony website only had three RS5 left online today. I ordered one. Earlier this week the Sony website was sold out. I got the complete Sony package x91J, 7000, SW5, and RS5. Sounds killer so far. I cant wait to test these RS5 bad boys out. Love the channel man.

hey man has anybody experienced static popping noise coming from the bar?

what would you pick for open concept 12ft ceiling home? debating between Sony vs Sonos withs fives as surrounds

OK... it's been 3 weeks now... :)

It’s bizarre that the A5000 is too wide to fit between the legs of the A80J in soundbar position. Had to return it 🤷‍♂️

Hey Jonah. When is your full review coming out? And while it may be extra work, it would be great for a separate review of the HTA 7000 without the sub and rears, before and after the software update. I wonder how different the sound processing actually is. All the best!

Brother time’s up. Pls post the new review

Hi, do you have a link for the doby test you did? Would love to try that on my system. Thanks!

Brother ur 2 weeks is up, tired waiting to see ur review released. Kindly make it as soon as possible . @johah
