The picture on that new HDTV is a big hit, but the sound from its speakers turned out to be a bit disappointing. And the typical home theatre system takes up more space and requires more setup time than you wanted to give up. Take heart. Sony's HT-CT550W could be just what you're looking for. This complete system is a simple way to add the clear dialogue and punchy sound you've been missing.

A room filled with sound, not obstacles
The HT-CT550W's 400 watts of power will have the air crackling with excitement whether you're watching a Blu-ray movie, DVD concert, ballgame on TV, or rocking the house with your favourite video game. The included receiver has three HDMI inputs for high-def sources, making it easy to switch between your HD cable box, Blu-ray player, and game console. The dual-driver sound bar rests on your TV stand or mounts easily on the wall. It's designed to blend right in with your 40" or larger Sony BRAVIA® TV. And the subwoofer is wireless, so you can place it conveniently just about anywhere in the room. With the HT-CT550W's built-in Dolby® Digital and DTS® decoding and Sony's S-ForceŽ Surround technology, you'll experience clear, immersive sound without lots of gear cluttering your living room.

Sony HT-CT550W January-26-12
Reviewer: joe from columbia sc  
Soundbar is great, subwoofer is par. If your watching sports & want to hear background noise, forget about it. I'm not looking to vibrate the room, I would like to hear a little bass without sticking my ear to the woofer to see if it was on. Woofer comes alive if listening to music.


 
CT550 - Its what you should expect January-16-12
Reviewer: Jim from Bville NY  
A common thread with sound bars, they arent 5.1. Nor will they fill a huge room. My room is a big family room with a half wall to kitchen 14x40 over all, but we sit near TV. Dont worry, it is so loud you cant turn it up all the way. The sound is clean with no annoying anything. Music is very good. Easy to set up. Having the receiver with the HDMIs in and out to TV with all Sony stuff is the way to go. Dont buy a sound bar that doesnt integrate everything. I just hit the power button on the FIOS remote and everything is ready to go. Coupled with the 46" LED and a Bluray and its great. So the helicopter doesnt fly right over your head. I can live with that.


 
HT-CT550W Nice Product, Very Good Sound, Easy to C December-31-11
Reviewer: Jeff from Dallas, TX  
Reviewed a large number of sound bars before buying this one.  This sound bar has very good sound, but you need to set up the levels before you use.  The default setting out of the box are not much better than the TV speakers I had in my Sharp Aquos 52 inch LCD.  

Here are the setting I used to get started:  

Sound Field:  Movie  

Amp Menu  (Amp Menu Button and then use the up/down and left/right arrows to navigate) ....Level        .......CNT Level: +4        ...... SW  Level:  +6        ...... Audio DRC:  Auto  

.....Tone        ......Bass : +5        ......Treble: +3  

.....Audio         .....A/V Synch: On   (there was a slight delay between the picture and sound that was noticeable when this feature was turned OFF.   Turning it on corrected the problem)         ......Dual Mono:  Main         ......Night Mode: Off.  (Turning the function ON enables clear voice and lowers Bass at low volumes)         ......Input Mode: Auto  

My Sharp TV with the Aquos Link could automatically determine that the sound bar system was installed and would disable the TV speakers automatically.  Some people have noted that you need to make sure you turn off the TV speakers or it sounds flat...  I also have Wifi built into the TV and the sound bar system had no problem automatically detecting that the TV was generating the sound vs my direct TV receiver.    

All-in-all I'm very pleased with the purchase

Reviewer: Neil from Texas  
Very disappointed,I was not expecting awsome sound  but thought this would be adequate, not even close  not even worth the shipping cost.I was considering  this unt or a Bose unit the advisor said the Sony  would be great,bad advise.
