sars5 rear speakers

jamstocks — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 22:15:00 GMT

i have just purchased the theatre bar 8 , additional sub and the sars 5 rear speakers .

the question i have , should any body know is , do i have to always turn on the rear speakers manually each time i use the system , the sub comes on when switching on the bar but rear speakers always need to be turned on individually , rather annoying as they are situated on my wall.

any ideas , cant see an option in the software or app????

thanks

Hi jamstocks,

welcome to the Sony User Community Forum..

I think the idea is to leave the rear speakers connected to the AC power, then when you turn the soundbar off the rear speakers go into standby mode and come out of standby mode once your soundbar is turn on again..

However you can turn them off but, yes, you will need to turn them on manually each time you want to use your system..

thanks for your response thats a shame , i am guessing the sub only boots up together with the bar as it is plugged it ?

@jamstocks You will need to press the power button on the subwoofer. Unfortunately, there's no alternative way.
