Manufacturer specification · The HDMI socket is an output to the TV with return audio, not a separate HDMI source input. Formats depend on transport and connected TV; Bluetooth does not carry every HDMI format.

Sony HT-A3000

Manufacturer specification · Original interface direction and receiver/profile wording retained. A Bluetooth version alone does not establish audio input. USB charging-only declarations are separate.

Manufacturer specification · Sony’s UK specification labels this Power Output (Total). The retained table does not state an RMS/continuous rating, distortion, test frequency or all-channels-driven basis; none is invented. This total is not input power consumption or an independently comparable loudness result.

Sony HT-A3000

Manufacturer specification · Literal manufacturer audio output declaration and its attached source footnotes. No RMS standard, channel loading or independent measurement is inferred. Consumption and electrical input are separate. Amplifier — Power Output (Total): 250W
