Sony HT-S2000

Physical channel layout is distinct from the manufacturer’s virtual surround processing and supported object-audio formats. The separate five amplifier channels are not a claim of five discrete full-range listening channels.

Supported content/transport and a compatible TV/source are required. The physical channel layout is retained separately; format support is not a measured surround-quality score.

Exact model support; connected source, TV pass-through and connection type constrain availability.

No independently measured acoustic frequency-response range is established here. The Bluetooth transmission-frequency range is not the acoustic response of the speaker.

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.

Published version; interoperability depends on the peer device and settings.

Positive codec list; unlisted codecs are not treated as explicitly unsupported.

The UK specification expressly gives Input / Output as none / one. TV return audio uses the HDMI output socket; no source-input passthrough is implied.

One HDMI output supporting eARC / ARC TV return audio.

Explicit supported function; connected TV and its settings must support eARC for the relevant high-bandwidth audio formats.

Explicit TV return-audio function; audio format support is narrower than eARC and remains transport dependent.

Sony warns that control behaviour can depend on connected equipment; this is not a guarantee of every third-party TV feature.

Positive eARC inventory; optical and Bluetooth formats are separately constrained. No omission-derived codec negative.

Positive radio specification only. It does not establish AirPlay, Chromecast, Spotify Connect or general Wi-Fi music-streaming support.

The multi-region guide limits USB playback to models with a USB port. The retained exact UK table does not establish that port/function for this configuration; no regional feature is substituted.

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.

Actual connection instructions; no unlisted regional voltage range is inferred. The supplied dedicated AC adaptor and mains cord are required; no rechargeable operation is inferred.

Electrical consumption in the manual, kept distinct from the manufacturer total amplifier-output claim.

The retained exact-model table establishes a manufacturer total-output claim but not a matched continuous RMS rating with distortion/frequency/loading conditions.

Manufacturer feature names, not independently measured fidelity, spatial precision or source-codec restoration.

The current guide uses BRAVIA Connect; HT-S2000 product copy also uses its earlier Home Entertainment Connect name. A compatible smartphone, app version and supported features are required.

Approximately; excludes projecting parts. Standalone bar dimensions; optional external subwoofer/rear speakers are separate.

Approximately; bar body alone, not total system or shipping weight.

Compatible wall construction, suitable screws and installation instructions are required; all mounting hardware is not assumed included.

UK table and exact guide package list. Quantities/plug variants can vary by region. Optional rear speakers and optional external subwoofer are not added to the standalone HT-S2000 package.
