Sony HT-S400
Introducing the Sony HT-S400 Soundbar
The soundbar Sony HT-S400 immerses you in your favorite movies and music thanks to its 330 W output and 2.1-channel setup with a wireless subwoofer. Enjoy Surround sound worthy of the best movie theaters right in your living room. Sony’s exclusive S-Force PRO Front Surround technology virtually reproduces an enveloping sound field using only the front speakers, delivering rich Surround sound that reaches you from both sides.
By combining high-quality Dolby Digital sound with S-Force PRO technology, this soundbar fully immerses you in your audiovisual content. Whether you’re watching an action movie, a concert, or a sports match, the sonic experience is strikingly realistic with clear dialogue, surround effects, and deep bass.
A powerful wireless subwoofer
The HT-S400’s wireless subwoofer provides a remarkably solid foundation for your listening experience. It reproduces the lowest frequencies with precision and intensity, letting you feel every explosion and every beat. Easy to place thanks to its wireless connection, it remains discreet while delivering deep lows that heighten immersion.
Versatile connectivity
This Sony soundbar offers multiple connection options to suit all your devices. Connect it easily to your TV, even a recent one, thanks to support for HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel). This lets you connect your compatible television with a single HDMI cable and control the soundbar using your TV’s remote.
You can also stream music wirelessly from your smartphone, tablet, or computer via Bluetooth. The bar is equipped with a Bluetooth receiver compatible with the SBC codec for quality wireless links with your mobile devices.
Audio modes tailored to all your content
The HT-S400 offers several audio settings to optimize your listening experience based on the content type. Cinema mode broadens the soundstage to plunge you into the heart of the action. Music mode faithfully reproduces every note with clarity and energy. Game mode lets you pinpoint your opponents thanks to realistic surround sound.
Two additional sound effects enhance your options:
- Night mode adjusts the sound so you can enjoy your programs late in the evening without disturbing others.
- Voice mode emphasizes dialogue for perfect intelligibility, ideal for following the plot of a film or series.
A harmonious fit for your interior
With its clean design and elegant lines, the HT-S400 soundbar blends seamlessly into your living room. Its compact format and black finish allow it to tuck discreetly under your TV. You can even wall-mount it thanks to its flat rear surface, for an even more minimalist look.
Its integrated OLED display gives you immediate access to essential information such as the selected source, volume level, or active audio mode. Discreet and practical, it turns off automatically when you’re not interacting with the bar.
An intuitive experience with BRAVIA TVs
Paired with a compatible Sony BRAVIA TV, the HT-S400 reveals the full extent of its features. Thanks to the exclusive wireless connection between the bar and the TV, you reduce cable clutter and control everything with your TV remote. Turn both devices on and off simultaneously, adjust the volume, switch audio modes… everything is handled intuitively from your BRAVIA interface, without an extra remote.
The integrated user interface automatically displays the bar’s settings in your TV’s quick setup menu, for simple, centralized control of your audiovisual experience. Let yourself be guided and enjoy tailor-made sound with no effort.
Can I control the soundbar with my TV remote from another brand?
If your TV has an HDMI ARC output and you use this connection with the bar, it’s very likely you’ll be able to control basic functions (power, volume) with your TV remote. Compatibility depends on brands and models. Otherwise, use the remote supplied with the bar.
Which devices can I connect to this soundbar via Bluetooth?
You can pair any compatible device via Bluetooth: smartphone, tablet, laptop… Make sure your device supports Bluetooth and the A2DP profile (Advanced Audio Distribution). Once paired, you can wirelessly stream your music or video audio to the bar.
Can I adjust the subwoofer volume separately?
No, the subwoofer volume adjusts together with the soundbar’s master volume. You cannot set the bass level independently on this model. The subwoofer is calibrated to deliver optimal bass at any listening level.
Do I need to perform complex audio settings to enjoy quality surround sound?
The HT-S400 is designed to deliver immersive surround sound easily, without complex setup. Sony’s S-Force PRO Front Surround technology automatically optimizes sound. You can fine-tune the experience by selecting one of the preset audio modes (Cinema, Music, etc.), but it remains very simple.
