Great video concise and to the point. I have my sub directly behind my seats and it’s great.
Dude, your spot on and straight to the point. I moved my front A-B speakers at an angleand NOW I get 25% better sound. Thanks man
It's cool that something so simple makes a difference. It's almost like there is a science to it. Mind blowing.
@@MikeyRB77 that's because your speakers don't have a wide sound stage where as my Dali zensor 7 can't be at a angle pointing in.
Yeah, I need better speakers.
Holy moly, I remember when (1970's) you bought a hifi "system", took it home and plugged it in. Common sense stuff like live vs dead rooms, turntable vibrations, and speakers set on the floor were pretty much understood. Standing waves and room nodes, which you don't even mention can effect the system sound more than anything else. All this fancy equipment you suggest ain't necessary. A good pair of fullrange speakers will give excellent dispersion, deep bass (35-40hz), brilliant highs and fill your room with BALANCED sound. There are many vintage speakers on ebay from brands like; EPI, Ohm, Genesis, Sony, Polk, Altec to name a few that will do the job for a lot less cash than the stuff in this video costs. This IS a helpful video, and does explain the "basics" well. But ya ain't gotta spend a lotta dough for truly great sound. Fuhgeddaboudit!
SURROUND SOUND SET UP IS DIFFERENT THAN A STEREO SET UP. YOU KNOW THAT.
That subwoofer tip blew my mind!! , I wanna do it now but I gotta sleep cause work
I'm too pumped to sleep..
Wtf same bro!!! Lmfao
The sound subwoofer tip changed my life😭. I just moved it next to the couch just like you did 😭 and now i feel like if i'm at the movies!!😭😭😭😭. Thank you!!! I'm a subscriber now!😫😁😁😁😁😁
You do realize that you're suppose to put it next to the couch (or even on it) so you can determine the best position for it by going all around the room and figuring out where the bass sounds best? He didnt just say put it next to the couch and you're done.
Very helpful and simple explanation!!!

Times have changed this makes it sound hard work
Theres some sound bars out there plug them in they'll do the rest.
Thanks for this video very helpful.
Awesome video Sony :)
Thanks for your video, everything is fine except my rear speakers how should I install. Sofa touches the rear wall. Not a big living room. You said to leave 1 foot distance from rear speakers and listening positions
I dont have that luxury so how should I go about. Please share pictures
Use wall brackets for speakers behind plus if you own a denon amp with audyssey 32xt should help that issue out
Our living room will look weird with couch in front of TV as we have a small home, couch has to be up against window, only other place would be in front of the sliding glass door to the back porch.
well made video. good job thanks
I have 4 subwoofers. I like to watch youtube fart videos, awesome. 😂
Very cool do more of these
Everyone else: "go for what suits your needs and adapt when your plans change"
Sony: "buy the most expensive stuff we offer and if it doesn't work then we have a new item release for you to buy that will guaraneed to work for your situation"
Amazing Tips... thanks
I found the sub sounds best upfront. I’m upgrading from a soundbar to a 2.1 setup and don’t know if the subwoofer should go inside or outside the front speakers?
I have on out side but it's up to you try both see which you prefer easy answer lol
I have 7.1 set up going to get another sub but for movies it's better on outside as bass your supposed to hear but not locate were it comes from in movies and for music I don't use my subwoofer.
Listen to some stereo music with the sub on and move the sub around. See where it sounds best.
Hi Patrick.
The video you was in with Andrew Jones regarding his Elac speakers helped me choose the Uni-Fi's
So a week back i got these Elac Uni-Fi speakers along with the Sonos Amp (mainly because of the streaming capabilities and its power rating). However, after hooking them up I'm not sure if I'm getting the desired loudness. They sound amazing at low volumes with laid back music but I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong?
I'm a novice and just getting into good equipment now. Hope you have some advice.
Thanks.
Hey man my room is 16 square metres what speaker's i have to put inside to take best nest cinematic sound floorstanders or bookself speaker's ?
Great video!
good advise i have 55inch sony bravia
I have also Sony 55' 3D LED. I W ant to watch it from both pisition while seating / Recliner & while sleeping on 18" height bed. Please suggest me on which height i have to mount?
How about isolator for speaker, does it make difference?
Yes use isolation everywhere u can speakers amp player and so on, even my speaker wires are isolated from the ground lol
I just wanted to ask......is putting the soundbar above the tv going to make a difference in quality of sound?
Sony always innovative design & technology company!
Philips surround sound system. Q; will the center speaker have any affect on the screen given its placement?
My room is 12*10 foot. Is my room large enough to setup 5.1 system? Or i should go for 3.1?
Will putting a soundbar with front facing speakers in a soundbar shelf on a tv unit (open fronted) effect the sound
KFReps the best way to put a speaker in a shelf is to have the face just a hair sticking out pretty much in line with the edge of the shelf it’s on
I have a 120" screen and 5.3.6 speaker system
120" here with a 5.1 for now. You're running atmos? Do you have an additional amp running from your receiver?
steven metz He has to.
Marvellous
I have a 5.1 channel panasonic home theater ..small 5 speakers and a subwoofer. Now question, how do i feel the twitter sound where is the twitter here? please help
Good video
I bought Sony x93c ,are soundbars better than this?
I got a question. How do you record in slow motion for the a6000
The A6000 cannot do slow motion, although the A6300/6500 can. You could perhaps try 60 FPS video and experimenting with various blending/slow-motion plugins to get a close effect.
I thought he said " if u hv 40 inch TV u gotta sit 46 ft away " and i was shocked to know this is the reason why my eyes were always sore after watching Tv.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Now that you mention it...
Good
Can we place subwoofer behind a TV?
Can I mount my soundbar at the back walls.... Means at the opposite direction of the screen?
Only if you hook it up to your rear speaker outputs.
I actually have a very special Subwoofer, and if the perfect spot is where the coffee table is, the subwoofer can BE the coffee table. It's designed to be the TV cabinet but it can also be a nice bench seat, or the coffee table. It's the Vaf Research; Platform 2 Sub it's incredible :D Great if the wife or girlfriend doesn't want a big bulky sub in the room where she can see it, now she'll just see some nice furniture ;)
Cool story bro
Ohhh. A very special subwoofer. Sounds kinky! Does it please you, sexually?
Our bose lifestyle av 20 model 402455 cannot turn on its blinking green
The distance calculation is irrelevant for 2019.. I'm sitting 6 feet away from my 65" Sony X900F and I can watch any content from 4K down to 480P without noticing any pixels... Diagonal size vs distance formula cannot be linear, because the distance should be relative to the viewing angle (involve a trigonometric relation).
It should but viewing angle doesnt matter as the pixel density wont change.. THX says you need to have a 35° degree distance from your nose to the sides of the tv.
Do soundbars come with free crap tartan brown hats?
How am I supposed to situate my woofer near the sofa where I sit ? Wouldn't that be another nightmare with wires having to connect it to the display source?
Hey bro, try to channel the wires under any carpet near ur sofa or through ur wall and roof. This might help u a bit.
I have the cable to my sub covered with a rug.
he almost convinced me to buy a soundbar
Don't not worth it, if sound bars was a good option find me one mainstream cinema that uses them 😂😂😂😂 save up.slowly and build your system. Mine took 3 yrs and £8000 and another £2000 on movies and it's been 7 years but can piss on most people's surround sound lol and deffo murder any sound bars
what is tv shipping dimensions of KDL48R510C ?
Thanks prison Mike
Tip #1 should’ve been don’t use a soundbar
I have a 170" home theatre screen...then I have to sit a 340 inch far away from the screen that is about 28.5feet....wtf....my room length is about 20 inch...😅
Elite screen Inc recommend to set your seating at a distance double the height of your scree...not as in the case of TV
Human eyes cannot tell the difference between 1080p and 4k. We can hardly tell the diff between 720 and 1080.
depends on how big screen you watching, the bigger the screen the bigger is difference in between those 2 formats , but yeah its hard to see difference on small screens
I have a new 4KTV which has HDMI On back of TV but my receiver does not have H DMI how do I go at hooking this up I have tried and cannot get sound
Hello friend...Your HDMI on your 4KTV is for connecting external devices such as DVD/SKY/VIRGIN/X-BOX/PS4. as your TV is 4K I assume you have more than one HDMI input. You will also have digital inputs/outputs on your TV labelled digital OPTICAL/COAXIAL these are for connecting to your receiver to enable you to hear the sound through your system. the TV will also have analogue outputs L/R which can be connected to your receiver to provide you with sound...my advice would be to choose a digital input for better quality. The cheapest and easiest option for you would be to take a direct feed out of your TV to your receiver saving you a lot of hassle with regard to cables and individual line inputs. I trust this has been of some use to you.....
Optical cable
Or make sure u use the hdmi with arc label
Sound bars suck and I don't know much about Audio, But compared to Regular 5.1 -7.1 towers or even in wall speakers, Sound bars are no match.
I've gone to a few Chain Stores that have sound bars and Regular speakers in an Room made for music for testing, that's how I found out sound bars suck :op
Thanks for the video and speaker tips :o)
It doesn’t suck, it just has a different purpose, better for smaller rooms too
hello i would like a free playstation 4 console game do you have any damaged ones you don't want because i saw a video saying i could get one for free thank you
How the hell did you know about my puppet?

Sony please open PS home it was so fun until you closed it neotopia is boring 😓😢😢😓😓😢😢
you look hot are you in facebook
Cringy as fuck.
typical hindi
Agreed they need to bring it back, and agreed proper cringy^^
Good video! You used reality in your explanations and layout. Not hypothetical and ideal. Thank you!
Dont buy a sound bar... you should just invest in a bookshelf speaker set if you really want to "save money" on Home Theater setups.
My sound bar is above my tv and sub above that 😬😬
On paye combien l abonnement ps4
sony r t 40
get the vizio sb3621n-e8 sub included and tell me if your mind isnt blown by $150
Bruh seriously if u grab it on sony
You had me til you went pro sound bar. That's the WORST option unless you're going for simple. I want to dislike your video for this but you had a lot of other good tips so you win today.
theres some good soundbars and not so good yea sure $1000 setup is going to sound better but not everyone wants a exact cinematic experience they just want 70 percent of it which a decent soundbar and sub can get you
I'm number 300 like
👍🏼👍🏼😎😎😎😎😎
Sound bars beat home cinema system 😂😂😂😂
Exactly like wtf
Listen he sad if you have a smaller room
@@marinkoeerman424 NO EXCUSE have a small room but still manage a 7.1 set up in it. Lol unless your room is size of a toilet there's NO EXCUSE 🤪😭😭😭
@@harpalchauhan428 ~ Yeah that's great, but sometimes funding it all can be an issue.
Thank God You and I don't have that problem, but many other people do. . .
Be a little considerate of some less fortunate.
@@keepingitreel...8037 that's 100% true as well , but it's wrong to say it can do the same as a full blown system. That's makes us smucks then lol
2 much pumped
Soundbars suck!
Darrin Moore they are not for me I prefer my hi fi
Yeah I prefer my klipsch reference set up, but I bought my gf a sound bar with sub 2.1 Set up
And I was actually impressed , nowhere near as epic as the reference but the cops got called so I think it got some attention
I bought a used yamaha ats 1010 for $30 and its really good. I'll just add it to my 7.1 setup.
7 "dot" 1. Who still says "dot" anymore?
What is your "point"?
I see you stayed away from the rear speaker position and placement. I guess you are not sure either...
Rear speakers aren't that great in most rooms, space wise. Also, only half the movies out there have good rear sound affects, and the others don't have much rear sound at all.
That was helpful a bit. Now wipe all that sweat off your face ;)
Lol, clearly we have a lot of amateurs in the comment section.
They gotta start somewhere, don't forget you were one too
Sony wtf why did u screw up and disconnect the relaxing ends account
索尼没落了
Tip #1: get your couch as close to your TV as possible and forget about his advice. I have a 85" TV and my couch is 5 to max 7 feet away from it. Perfect for such size.
Bogus product, earc has never worked since day 1 and I'm also using a sony tv (x800h).
Why are you sweating profusely
