OK but needs firmware updates.

Verified Purchase:Yes

We purchased the Sony XBR65X850D and HTNT5 together. Below are my observations of the unit after a couple months of use.

Muting the TV for an extended period of time causes the soundbar to go into standby and shutoff.

Sub woofer sound periodically stops even though the green lights is on and the sound bar is on. Sub has to be powered off/on to correct.

Lag in audio between the TV and sound bar. Turing off/on the sound bar corrects this issue. This one drives me nuts.

All of these issues are not constant but happen frequently enough they are annoying having to address one or the other every couple days.

Overall the sound from the soundbar is good but not great. The sub woofer is an added benefit but too small to provide a noticeable difference as you would expect.

Most reviews I have read about the speakers from the TV say they are terrible but for normal everyday TV I think they are fine. The soundbar helps but they are definitely not a must have. For movies the soundbar is a bonus but most of our time using the TV is for standard programs.

Overall I would purchase the Sony XBR65X850D TV again with no reserve as it has been great. I like the soundbar idea but this unit needs updates. The good new is I believe most of the issues with this unit could be addressed with firmware update if Sony chooses as the hardware itself seams to be good.

I'll be waiting for firmware updates.
