"In signature Sony fashion, the Theater Bar 5's sound performance does a lot to make up for its shortcomings, pairing a surprisingly powerful subwoofer with a well-balanced three-foot bar for more cinematic thrills than its size suggests. A dedicated center speaker ensures clear dialog across content, while virtual surround software plus support for advanced sound formats, like Dolby Atmos, effectively zhuzh up action-packed films and TV shows."

Inside the L-shaped box you'll find a matte-black bar and rectangular wireless subwoofer tower, power cables for each, and a stubby remote for basic playback controls."
