I had considered buying one of the previous year's 7.1 models, but wanted inputs/outputs compatible with HDMI 2.0 & HDCP 2.2 for full 4K & HDR. Despite the description/specifications listed on Bestbuy's website, this system has 1 HDMI output w/ARC & 3 HDMI inputs, all of which are HDMI 2.0 & HDCP 2.2. Full specs can be found at http://www.sony.com/electronics/sound-bars/ht-nt5#product_details_default
This HT-NT5 is an impressive sound bar system. SONY has outdone themselves with this one. The high-res audio is clear, crisp, & precise. I was initially hesitant to get 2.1 over 7.1 at this price point, but I am extremely happy I did. I am looking forward to the update next month that will allow SongPal Link to connect the soundbar system to other compatible SONY bluetooth/wifi speakers as wireless surround, or multi-room listening.
