Key Features
Sound straight from cinema
Experience authentic cinema surround sound in your living room. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X creates an immersive multi-dimensional soundscape that brings movies to life as directors intended.
Sound from above
Thanks to Sony's virtual surround technology, the soundbar can position sound in vertical space-so you can experience three-dimensional audio without the need for in-ceiling or up-firing speakers. As well as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, Vertical Surround Engine lends a more realistic, multi-dimensional sound to other formats too.
Sound from sides
Using front speakers only, Sony's digital sound field processing technology virtually reproduces the surround sound field, with audio coming at you from both sides. You can enjoy rich, cinematic surround sound without cluttering your living space.
Upmix stereo content to surround sound
Sony's unique upmixer delivers rich surround sound even from stereo content. Its innovative algorithm extracts and redistributes individual audio objects to immerse you in 3D sound.
Powerful and well-balanced bass
This wireless subwoofer delivers well-balanced, detailed, and powerful low end that enhances both movies and music-and with simple wireless connection, where you place it is up to you.
Centre speaker for clear dialogue
A dedicated centre speaker ensures crystal-clear voice reproduction in every scene. From intense conversations to hushed whispers, you'll catch every word with precision, enhancing your viewing experience across all types of content.
Voice mode
Enhances vocal clarity by boosting mid-range frequencies, making dialogue easier to hear in various scenes. For compatible BRAVIA TVs, Voice Zoom 3 offers additional fine-tuning of dialogue for improved comprehension.
Clear voice and precise sound image
Using a single speaker unit to reproduce a wide frequency range from bass to treble simultaneously can cause distortion and result in a muffled and unclear sound image. Our unique signal processing technology suppresses this distortion for clear dialogue and precise imaging.
Crystal clear voice. Precise dialogue.
No more muffled voices. Combined with compatible BRAVIA, our new Voice Zoom 3 powered by AI machine learning recognises human voices and amplifies or reduces their volume so even faint dialogue sounds loud and clear.
Effortless control with BRAVIA
Control surround sound easily with your BRAVIA TV remote. Sound settings automatically appear on the BRAVIA Quick Settings menu for easy control of features, like Sound Field and volume.
The perfect partner for your BRAVIA TV
If you have a BRAVIA with a multi-position stand, you can adjust the stand to fit the BRAVIA Theatre Bar 5 neatly in front of the TV for a clean, elegant look.
Do it all with BRAVIA Connect
The BRAVIA Connect smartphone app guides you through initial settings, assists with troubleshooting, and lets you control volume, sound field and more. It also notifies you about software updates and lets you control a compatible TV too.
Simple remote, intuitive control
Comfort and simplicity at your fingertips. Our remote's hand-fit design and easy volume and sound controls keep your experience effortless.
Control at your fingertips-volume, bass, sound modes
Enjoy instant control over your audio with multiple sound modes, including Night Mode, Voice Mode, Bass Adjustment, and more. This remote makes it easy to fine-tune your sound for any occasion.
Bluetooth connection
Stream audio content wirelessly. Bluetooth technology makes it easy to enjoy music, podcasts and more from your smartphone, tablet or laptop.
Give your favourite music a boost
When an original music source is compressed, it loses the high-frequency elements that give detail and richness to a track. Our Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) faithfully restores these to produce high-quality sound that's closer to the original recording.

Our Road to Zero initiative aims to reduce environmental impact at every stage of our business. By 2050, we're striving for zero environmental footprint-driven by innovation and sustainability.
