Sony HT-S20R 400W 5.1ch Home Cinema Soundbar System

For unforgettable movie moments, you have to get the Sony HT-S20R which comes with a Soundbar, subwoofer and rear speakers to give you authentic surround sound. The 400W power output and Dolby Digital technology will be the life to this model as they put you right at the heart of all of your favourite movies. The Soundbar has a 5.1 CH Soundbar that delivers a full frequency sound and comes with several modes that will aid in fine-tuning your viewing experience. It is not just about movies as you can play your favourite music through the Soundbar, use the USB port to plug and play from a USB memory stick and use Bluetooth to wirelessly stream music from your device.

DESIGN

The Sony HT-S20R 5.1 has to be that one piece of item that you have been missing in your living room as its minimalistic design will blend in with any space. The traditional 5.1 theatre has 5 separate speakers that represent each of the channels and also comes with one subwoofer. It is well built and has the front three channels in one Soundbar that can be positioned below your TV. There is a metallic grill that covers the front to protect the drivers which can still be seen through the grill. The bottom has rubber feet which give the bar a firm grip when placed on a flat surface. It can also be wall-mounted upon wish.

What about placing this Soundbar below the Sony 40W650D or any other 32 inches or 40 inch TV for aesthetic references. The cable management is the same as that of Sony HT-G700 as the cables come attached to each speaker with the end going back to the subwoofer to help the connection process easy. The rear satellite speakers are small and give out a simple but minimalistic view.

The subwoofer is the heart of the system with all speakers convening at the back. It hosts the HDMI, ARC ports and the LED lights are displayed at the front to show you information such as input lag. The physical controls can be spotted at the top of the subwoofer and are touch-sensitive.

SOUND MODES

Listening to the morning news, watching a movie at night or just listening to that soft jazz after a long day, the Sony HT-S20R has you covered in every sound. You will be able to choose the perfect setting that is right for whatever content you are watching or listening to with just a button for every sound. Music mode will allow you to hear all vividness and richness of every single track while cinema mode will enable you to feel and hear all action around you while sound travels get you in the movie experience. Voice mode will allow you to enjoy that morning news as it tailors sound settings to accentuate speech whereas watching movies at night will be so fun as night mode optimizes sound balance to allow you to hear everything clearly even at low volumes.

WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY

Movies and TV are not all that you can do with this soundbar. You will be able to simply play your jams using the USB port to plug and play music from a USB memory stick. The Bluetooth connectivity will also allow you to be able to wirelessly stream music from your smartphone to your device.

INTERFACE

Enjoy high-quality sound for movies and more when you connect to the optical input. If HDMI ARC and the optical input aren’t an option, simply connect your TV using the analog input. The interface includes Optical audio input, analogue audio input, USB and Bluetooth 5.0

SOUND

Save that extra bucks that you would have used to go to the movies and instead grab a plate of popcorns, switch on your TV, pair it with the Sony HT-S20R and buckle up for a perfect cinematic experience. The Soundbar gives you a 5.1ch real surround sound and with it, your movies will get the soundtrack they deserve with rear speakers and an external subwoofer that works well with a 3ch Soundbar to deliver a cinematic and dynamic sound.

Add this with 400W total power output which helps to bring every movie scene to life and what you get is a satisfaction to the best level. Dolby Digital tops up the sound experience as it allows you to enjoy dramatic and high-quality surround sound from separate audio channels.

EASY SET UP AND REMOTE CONTROL

You will be able to get an easy setup almost instantly by simply plugging in and enjoying 5.1 channels of real and surround sound. All cables also run into the subwoofer in order to keep things neat and tidy.

The remote control is made of plastic and feels minimalistic. It is lightweight in nature and has rubbery buttons that make them easy to use. The tiny LED screen displays modes and controls and has controls for input, volume, bass, control modes and music. There is also a dimmer button that is used to dim the display.
