I love the Sony I have always had faith in Sony A
HTS40R 11 May 2026 (USA)
Love the product But the cable for the woofer should be longer ! And I am hoping you have A three or four feet extension because the system sounds much better if the woofer has distance ! So I really could use two feet cable

Powerful & Immersive Audio
HT-S40R//Z SP1 22 January 2026 by Waran (Malaysia) Verified Purchaser Verified
Sony HT-S40R 5.1ch Home Cinema System delivers powerful, immersive audio that truly brings movies and shows to life. It’s a standout choice for anyone who wants cinematic surround sound without complicated wiring — and it works beautifully when paired with a Sharp Aquos TV via Bluetooth. Connecting the HT-S40R to the Sharp Aquos TV was effortless and seamless. The Bluetooth pairing is quick, stable, and eliminates the need for extra cables. Once paired, audio comes through with clarity and depth that’s a vast improvement over built-in TV speakers, whether you’re watching action blockbusters or dramas. The wireless rear speakers are a major highlight. They create a genuinely immersive surround experience, filling the room with balanced sound that makes you feel like you’re in the middle of the action. Dialogue is crisp, bass is punchy thanks to the dedicated subwoofer, and overall dynamics are satisfying even at higher volumes. Bluetooth not only works great with your Sharp Aquos TV but also with other devices like your phone or tablet but also perfect for streaming music. The system’s sleek look fits well with modern living rooms, and the solid build quality reinforces why Sony is trusted for home entertainment.

I have been looking for a soundbar for my TV for quite some time. Stumbled upon this particular soundbar from SONY with the added advantage of a wireless surround sound system and immediately purchased it. Sound quality is excellent and am very happy with my purchase.

How can I update the software? It’s not quite as excellent as I had hoped, but it could be better once updated.

I bought my HT-S40R about 2 years ago. I have been seriously using it. It still sounds great. It was money well worth spent!

Great set
HT-S40R//Z SP1 07 June 2025 by Wina K (Malaysia) Verified Purchaser Verified
I was very satisfied with my HT-R3 set when out of sudden it failed on me. So after researching through the web & youtube, i decided to buy the HT-S40R. It was great but not as amazing as the HT-R3 as i found the sound from the S40R is not as crisp as the R3. Nevertheless, S40R is still a good choice if you’re looking into affordability.
Great sound at an affordable price range
HT-S40R//Z SP1 02 June 2025 (Malaysia) Verified Purchaser Verified
After a month of use and I am very satisfied with the HT-S40R, it is best value for money hits the price bracket perfectly and delivers superior movie experience. It was a breeze to setup and just works perfectly out of the box. It does have the volume and depth with a solid sound. Highly recommended for anyone who is looking for a great sounding soundbar that does not cost a bomb and does not require all the fancy features.

HT-S40R 27 April 2025 by PeteG1 (United Kingdom)
The blue light discount was a well appreciated extra. The soundbar is awesome. Especially with the two rear speakers making a full dound experience. They also help when watching TV at night with the sound down. The wireless connection made installation so simple. Also the soundbar turns on/off and volume with the tv remote. Good specification for most users.

HT-S40R 04 April 2025 by Kamil syn Romana (United Kingdom)
In my case I couldn't use eARC hdmi port because it was already in use but optical port did the trick. Very good sound if you have a proper 5.1 content.

The sound is good in overall. It would be better if there is an equaliser for user to set the bass or treble manually.

Sound is great but manual as usual it is Sony.
HT-S40R//Z SP1 29 January 2025 by Mantest (Malaysia) Verified Purchaser Verified
About the sound it is great but the manual on how to adjust the sound is bad. It is just as simple as map for the menu and the description that all I need, not how to make the connection for the speaker. The connectivity basic, everyone who purchase the item should know but how to browse your menu and what it does is more important.

HT-S40R 24 January 2025 by DemetriousPFHL (United Kingdom)
I brought this to replace a much older system that was failing and am so glad that I did. Simple to set up to the TV and the wireless back surround speakers (wireless to main unit but wired to sub amp) make a great difference to the sound. Brilliant three dimensional sound enhances whatever you are watching. Well worth its cost, which in itself was quite reasonable.
