About the Sony HT-G700

A heightened soundstage

Traditionally the overhead effects of Atmos and DTS:X have been achieved with either in-ceiling speakers or upward-firing speakers that reflect sound back down to you. But if you want an easy, streamlined way to experience heightened surround sound, the HT-G700 is a great option. It uses digital processing — both DTS Virtual:X and Sony's own proprietary Vertical Surround Engine — to simulate those engaging height effects using only the sound bar's three front-firing speakers.

Dial in the right sound for you

Sometimes it's difficult to hear dialogue in shows and movies over the background noise. Sony's HT-G700 can help with that. In addition to a dedicated center channel, it has a "voice" mode that brings speech to the forefront so that you don't have to rewind your show to follow the plot.

The remote has some other cool options, including the "Immersive AE" button that converts stereo audio signals into more immersive surround sound. There's also independent volume control for the subwoofer.

Modern connections

The HT-G700 has 4K video pass-through with support for Dolby Vision, HLG, and HDR10, so you can get rich sound and picture quality with simple HDMI connections — one from your 4K video source to your sound bar and then one from your sound bar to your TV. It also supports eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel), so it can receive uncompromised audio signals — like Dolby Atmos — from an eARC-equipped TV. 

And Bluetooth is built-in, so you can wirelessly stream your favorite audio content right from your mobile device.
