5.0 out of five stars Great Sony 3D Soundbar, August 25, 2011
By LDB (Florida) See all my reviews () This review is from: Sony HTCT550W 3D Sound Bar Home Theater System with Wireless Subwoofer (Electronics) As common another great Sony Sound Bar; Excellent value for the price; Loaded with technology to manage all the new multichannel audio technologies Dolby, DD+, DDTrue HD, DTS etc. And 3D pass through.

After reading the mixed reviews I was a bit nervous about installing this sound bar. But, now that I have it connected and configured properly with my new 3D TV, I could not be happier. I found I can crank up the volume on the sound bar and experience deep sub woofer bass to respectable levels aka, really deafening and punchy with the capability to hear all the meant sound track goodies.

Pros:
Really big sound with deep sub woofer punch not bad at “simulating” surround sound affects)
Quick & easy setup. As already mentioned below it really takes longer to unpack it than to connect to your TV and blu ray player
Attractive thin sound bar design with a wireless sub woofer (note: SW needs to be placed near an AC outlet other than that you may move the S/W around the room as you like)
Handles all the new multichannel audio technologies that come with your blu ray disks to include all the different Dolby Digital and DTS audio signals
Three HDMI ports and one HDMI out; so you may be able to easliy pass all your equipment through the Receiver, will include and optical port as well

Cons:
Because it is so easy to setup I think many may fail to read the manual ensuing in a less then best configuration and sound effect
I went to two local retail stores to hear this system before I ordered it from Amazon. It sounded horribly weak with no bass in both store demos till at the last store I asked if we could change the AMP menu settings.
If you use something other than high speed HDMI cables I do not think you may be able to experience all this system has to offer
(I agree with below reviewer comment) Separate Receiver may cause issues for wall mounted TVs

Here’s what I found worked for me:

Use newer standard HDMI high speed cables only that means newer 1.3 or any 1.4 1.4 will include ARC support HDMI cables not costly HDMI cables just the new high speed cables).
Turn off the Linear pulse code modulation (LPCM) on the Audio Out on your Blu ray player or game system. Instead choose “Bitstream” for Audio Out on the devices you connect to your Sound Bar.
Your satellite, cable, or over the air box/signal may not broadcast Dolby Digital or DTS sound tracks many of the time depending upon the program (don’t blame this on the sound bar). Throughout these transmits you may experience lower quality sound. Use a blu ray player and blu ray disk to test this systems sound capabilities)
Take time to understand the AMP menu on the receiver. Read the manual ; ) this is where the right settings make all the difference between a lousy sound bar experience and what you projected when you bought this sound bar.
And , Turn Off your TV speakers when you want to use this system. If you leave your TV speakers on and use the sound bar simultaneously then you may hear that awful “thin” hollow sound I heard many complain about

Try these Amp Menu Settings on the receiver decrease the SW or Bass if these settings sound too low/deep for you):
Level: CNT +4, SW +6
Tone: Bass +5 or 6, Treble +3
Audio: Dual Mono: Main/Sub

Other Receiver settings:
DRC: Off
Sound Field: Movie

Note: For really BIG sound try rising the master volume +15 on the Receiver (independently) before you sync the TV volume with the Receiver Volume.

5.0 out of five stars Love this Sony, for its Sound, HDMI inputs & price, July 27, 2011
By SP See all my reviews This review is from: Sony HTCT550W 3D Sound Bar Home Theater System with Wireless Subwoofer (Electronics) After many of research on Speaker system overall and about this product, I decided to give it a attempt. So far I’m happy with the buy. I live in an apartment with living room size of around 20×20. So adding a high end true surround sound system (as many experts could suggest) wasn’t in my plan. So I decided to get a soundbar system (which many experts frown upon), for the compact, movable and decent sound which was enough enough for my Apt. I’m already a Sony TV/BD player owner and so the 1st choice was this product. It’s easy to setup. And the biggest draw for me this product (other than being Sony product to go with with my TV/BD) was it has three HDMI inputs. In its class, I believe this is one of the merchandise that gives three HDMI input which is good enough to hook up my Cable, BD & Media player. All the Cable, BD or PS# etc. HD output goes into the receiver and there’s one output to TV HDMI in. So you do not have to change TV input, only the receiver input changes. Also there’s a optical cable provided to connect the TV audio output back to receiver in case you use another part connected straight to TV instead of the receiver. Also once the reciever is turned on, the TV audio is automatically muted and the vice versa, which is a convinient feature, say if you like to just have TV speakers and not the big sound from this system when it’s real quite. The wireless subwoofer setup is easy, did not have to configure anything. It was plug & play. Only issue is the wireless subwoofer needs power, so its wireless, you still have to put it close to a power source. Another advantage I saw using this is if you’re Sony TV/BD owner, you could use Sony Bravia to configure it as unified remote. This is convenient and have information in manual to configure it. But I’m a Logitech Harmony One remote user and have not tinkered with Bravia. Logitech configuration was easy with this product being listed on their system. The subwoofer I thought did not have that big an effect at 1st, but when I increased the treble & bass, it seemed to be alright. Again this isn’t a true surround system, but still the sound ofcourse will be much better than TV speakers for sure. It also depends on one’s room configuration since I read (on AVS forum) that you need furniture or another objects for the sound to reflect upon to get many sense of surround sound. There are many sound modes available Movie, Music, Std, News, Sports etc. Which enhances the sound output therefore which I really like. Have seen an instance where the picture/sound had mismatch, but you have an choice to do an Audio Sync in the system. Once you turn is on, have not seen it after that. The best experience I had was watching BD movies. Really enhances the sound quality and able to see the full vibrancy in this mode in comparison to others. In general I’m happy with the product and could recommend. Of course the choice to get a audio system depends on so many factors from the budget, size of room, present system etc and once you jump into audio expert forums like AVS, they can bring in more clearness with their tell.

5.0 out of five stars Big sound for a average price, June 16, 2011
By George See all my reviews () This review is from: Sony HTCT550W 3D Sound Bar Home Theater System with Wireless Subwoofer (Electronics) I bought this Sony HT CT550W Sound Bar to go with my 55″ Sony Bravia KDL 55NX810 3D TV, and I am happy I did. For those of you with a newer Sony TV, I could recommend this Sound Bar not only for it is big and full sound, but for it is compatibility with Sony TV’s also.

My Sony TV has the speakers in the back, so the sound reflects off the wall and is hardly an ideal place for best sound. Since I have a smaller family room, only 14′ or so with an opening to the kitchen on one side, a wired setup wasn’t going to work well. This Sound Bar lets me to mount the speaker on the wall or under the TV and to place the subwoofer anyplace in the room. This really cleaned the look of my family room up and really increased the sound. I was not expecting much since it is not a 5.1 system, but it nearly feels like one with the way the speaker is engineered. Sound looks to envelop you when you’re sitting on the sofa, and the subwoofer is deafening and punchy. I have listened to some number of stations on Slacker radio through my TV and the bass is great. I am not sure why the other review said the subwoofer has been muffled sounding, but it’s quite deafening and punchy for me. My biggest worry on this was if the subwoofer could be clear and punchy, and it really is. The speaker seems it really has six speakers inside, so the crossover can separate the mids from the highs. Everything is routed through the major box, which also has FM capability. The nicest thing is the Bravia Sync, which lets me use my TV remote to control sound, power, and other parts of the speaker. So far I am happy with this Sound Bar, and had by far the lowest price. Do not be intimated by other reviews, I have listed to the Polk Audio, Boston Acoustics, an Samsung, and so far this is the best I have heard.

Pros:
Clear audio from center speaker
Loud with little distortion
Attractive speaker
Wireless Sub
Bravia Sync
FM radio

Cons:
Subwoofer may be a bit more tight, but good already not a real concern
Manuals list blockage at three ohms.Really? QC your web site Sony

Overall: greatly Recommend
