The sound coming from all speakers is ONLY in 2 channel audio content like you tube videos. But in True 5.1 Dolby digital movies like in Amazon prime, the 5.1 channel separation is brilliant and perfect for a small sized room. The rear speakers and other channels works exactly as it is supposed to with amazing Dolby 5.1 sound channel output with crystal clear channel seperation and NO such issue of same sound coming from all speakers. Considering this as a 5.1 dolby digital system, your review must be focusing on its Dolby digital capabilities and not on some stereo channel you tube movies which does not make any sense. None of the You tube content is 5.1. I own it and I know it's 5.1 performance and will strongly recommend to any one who wants a theatre effect in a bedroom.
@@ahmad22568 If your room is small and you love watching online movies with 5.1 audio, then this is for you. Totally worth it for bedrooms but not for living rooms.
@@andresurzuaperez3594just perfect and amazing 5.1 performance for small sized bedrooms when speakers are placed right....not suitable for big sized living rooms IMHO.
@digit - If you want clear channel separation, go to menu>Multi-speaker> Off. This will disable the channel extension. If you ARC connected. Turn multi speaker on for music and off for movies

@@rajeshr8121 while playing dolby digital (5.1) content through netflix, the subwoofer screen is showing dolby digital but muting the surround speakers. Only for PCM format surround speakers are working. Is there a solution for this? Tried multispeaker settings On and Off as well
@@floydr14 I am using Netflix and getting perfect 5.1 DD audio in this system. The system is fully capable of delivering crystal clear 5.1 audio if we do the settings correctly. I suggest you a few things to do to rectify your issue. 1. Ensure that the TV audio output settings are all set to Dolby digital or DD plus and also the output audio settings if you use an external streaming device like MI box for netflix. 2. Ensure that you have connected only thro HDMI ARC in TV using a high quality branded cable as its very important and DO NOT use optical cables as its not does not support many audio formats. 3. Multi channel audio can be set to on as it should work only for stereo you tube audio and it does not affect 5.1 audio. Your TV screen should also show Dolby digital on top when you play 5.1 content. And SR and SL speakers in DD works only when needed and not always. Hope this helps and please let me know of your issue was solved...cheers 😊😊
@@rajeshr8121 thank you for the detailed explanation.😊 My TV has DD as well as DD plus. But while putting into that setting and watching Netflix HD content on Audio(5.1 surround) i face the issue of surround speakers not working at all even when surround sound is required. While putting to PCM it works. But that's same stereo sound in surround speakers. Currently I'm using Amazon HDMI 18gbps cable. Not able to find where the issue is lying.
I bought this and going to return this. Some important details about the soundbar. - There is no tweeter. There are small ports for each speaker. The Center channel has 2 left and right has 1 and surround speakers have 1. If you don't look carefully you might think those are tweeters. But if you put some light then you'll realize it doesn't have any tweeter. That means the sound from the movie will not be crisp. Also, you'll not enjoy music at all. I am returning because of this reason. - Surround sound works well. If you set MULTISPEAKER ON then any 2.1 or 3.1 will be routed as 5.1. That means the surround speakers will be used for stereo input as well. This setting is by default ON. That might give you a feeling that the channel separation is not good. But that's not the case. 5.1 sound always gets through the correct speaker. Don't use RUclips to test your speaker as RUclips doesn't have 5.1. Use Netflix or another streaming app. - The subwoofer doesn't produce very good bass. It basically supports the lower mid. This is one of the reasons why I bought it. My previous soundbar Philips HTL3325 3.1 soundbar had a smaller sub that produced bass very well (room shaking in 4x6 m² living room). But HTL3325 didn't support mid. So it was too bassy. But this sony soundbar doesn't produce good bass at all. I raised the bass level to max 12 and still didn't found it enough while watching Mad Max: Fury Road.
Thanks, man, for that clean, detailed review of the S20R. I'm casually browsing the market for a 5.1ch HT, and I'm surprised to note 5.1s are quickly being wiped out by 2.1ch sound bars. It probably goes to show buyers prefer form over function.
HDMI and optical both gives dolby digital sound. If the source is dolby digital. However if you have an atmos or dts soundbar then you should use hdmi because optical are not capable of giving atmos effect. So as long as you are using normal dolby digital or digital plus soundbar you can connect to either one of them. Both will give the same sound effect.
Hi, I purchased S20 R, it’s good.. For 15K budget we can go for this.. As you said all wired connection and it’s very easy to install.. For 15K it’s worth..
Crawlerguy Which one’s Bluetooth connectivity is better for mobile too.. Like Apple AirPlay? ...I’m asking because htrt3 is 2years old model... that’s why I’m confused...can you help me?
BOTTOM LINE If you have a budget of Rs 15,000, chances are you are looking to pick up an entry-level soundbar or a home theatre. There are many 2.1 soundbars from the likes of Sony, LG, JBL and many many more to choose from. Your options become limited when you delve into the 5.1 setups and this is where it gets tricky to recommend the S20R. The older, Sony HT-RT3 is available for a little under 18,000 and comes with a certain set of advantages. It supports NFC, something the S20R lacks. The HT-RT3 has 600W of power as compared to the 400W on the HT-S20R. According to the Sony website, the HT-RT3 also comes with an HDMI cable in the box. In my personal opinion, the HT-RT3 also has a better design, overall. It is more angular than the HT-S20R. Put simply, the Sony HT-S20R is a baby HT-RT3. If you can extend your budget by a mere 2-3 thousand rupees, the HT-RT3 makes for a much better value for money proposition. The front three-channel bar on the HT-RT3 is 140mm longer than the HT-S20R, so if space is a problem for you, then you can consider the HT-S20R. It fits well under a 32-inch TV. But if power, features, and performance are important, then you should consider the HT-RT3. Here’s the kicker, the MRP of the HT-S20R is Rs 19,990 whereas the HT-RT3 has an MRP of Rs 18,990. But the street price of the 2 is Rs 14,999 and Rs 17,740 respectively, giving the S20R a lower street price.

This is a good speaker. You can compare reliance digital or Croma, get card cashback discount. Bass is soothing and you can adjust it and vocals are crisp in cinema mode.
It's better to buy JBL SB261 2.1 under 15000 if you are not a fan of 5.1 channel. Most people avoid 5.1 because of messy wires and wireless 5.1 are little bit expensive. I have JBL 2.1. I got it from Amazon by paying just 12000 bucks.

Until you play in full volume no difference will be Heard.If you live in an apartment and don't want to get complaints stick with 400 watts s20r rather than ht3. Rest same features. 400 watt vs 600 watt = ₹14990vs₹17990. ₹3000 extra you can save for a dvd/cd player.
You actually cleared a very important doubt of mine. Ofcourse I don't like the sound coming from all speakers. That's not real 5.1 effect. I currently have tz145 and I am disappointed by it. Can you tell me which models have the other type of sound i.e. separate sound from each speaker only when required?

@@nikhilkumar9435 channel seperation and Dolby effect depends on the connection type and source content. Make sure the connection is thro HDMI ARC from your Tv and enable Dolby output from your TV. Next is the the audio source MUST be from Dolby digital 5.1 content like in Amazon Prime and Netflix and some Hotstar content. NONE of the You tube content is 5.1 audio even though it says so. So make sure all the above things are right and then you do get 100 percent 5.1 Dolby output from s20r. This system or any system CANNOT convert stereo to 5.1 audio. It must be encoded in the original audio source to get dolby audio. Hope this helps. 👍👍👍

have you tried the Sony HT-Z9F ? what do you think about it, can you make a review on it? it is a 3.1 channel system with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X which one do you think is better LG SL8YG or Sony HT-Z9F ? Please suggest.
Need Big help, Now i playing with Bluetooth if i do off and on, is set auto what i used last Bluetooth mode or we do change the mode manually every time
Can you please please tell me. If I can use my fire tv stick ? And which port will it go into. In the HDMI ARC of tv or the speaker ? And if speaker then how will I connect speakers to my tv ?
You can connect it to fire tv stick using Bluetooth. Fire TV stick has Bluetooth function. Or you can also directly connect it to smart TV. This sound bar only has one Hdmi port so you can't connect both firetv stick and TV to it. You can use optical port that will give the same sound effect because both optical and hdmi port produce dolby digital sound. You need hdmi only when you have atmos or dts soundbar because optical port is not capable of producing atmos sound.

Hi bro, I like your review.. can u pls advice best dobly soundbar under 30k. Which is best for movies, games and music with proper channel separation and best surround sound. Waiting for your response..
There is one that Philips recently announced and we will hopefully get it in for review soon. Also, there is the Yamaha YAS 209, that comes with DTS Virtual X which is an interesting option as well. You can experience these in offline stores before deciding on the one you want. Personally, soundbars don't give the best dolby Atmos experience, so you may want to prioritise sound quality above all else.
Thank you so much for your response.. Can you please advise any other music system which gives best dobly Atmos experience. I am literally confused with these soundbars. Considering 30k budget.
Surround sound depends on movie you are playing, guns akimbo is having best sound effects than avengers end game. Also power rangers, aquaman have very good effects. Some movies is having worst effect. Also make sure you calibrate your seating position with respect to speakers. Only one person can get the full effects on the calibrated position, for all other viewers sound will come from left and right with different volume. Placement of two rear speakers play crucial role in creating the effects. Always go for sound bar with 5.1 as its easy to calibrate.
Hey liked your review, just got confused with you last line, you said for 2.1 system there are other options available, are you suggesting its better to check other options because this literally is a 2.1 system

Also suggest this model or 600w model suitable for this hall size
10 mts
its around 20ft only
how much is the range of the wired side speakers and what is a wireless term used for this speaker..since everything is connected via wire
Hi dear brother... you are already shown Sony 500rf and sony20 rs.i want to know...which is better..... please tell me..
between the 2, the Sony 500rf has more powerful sound output.
Lg sj3 or s20r which is btr sound. And bass
Sj3 crap. Don't buy it am using it for close to 2 years. Sound output not so great
He is WRONG, I am using this product and I know it. If you play true 5.1 dolby content like in Amazon videos, sound DO NOT come from all speakers, he was talking about you tube stereo content. And even in stereo there is an option to switch of multi channel audio. So this review gives TOALLY wrong Info.
Is it better than boat avante 4000da?? Please reply
ht s20r vs RT3 (in surround sound experience ) ?
Until you play in full volume no difference will be Heard.If you live in an apartment and don't want to get complaints stick with 400 watts s20r rather than ht3. Rest same features. 400 watt vs 600 watt = ₹14990vs₹17990. ₹3000 extra you can save for a dvd/cd player.
Can the two speakers be used behind you at each side? Or is it recommended that all of them stand facing you?
No. They should not face you. Instead, you should face them. Head on. Don't give them time.
@@foryoutubeiima9238 ok xD
Does it have Bluetooth?
You actually cleared a very important doubt of mine. Ofcourse I don't like the sound coming from all speakers. That's not real 5.1 effect. I currently have tz145 and I am disappointed by it. Can you tell me which models have the other type of sound i.e. separate sound from each speaker only when required?

@@rajeshr8121 should i turn off multi-channel audio?
@@rohitkalkar8006 When the incoming signal is 5.1 the system only delivers 5.1 even if multichannel is set to on. So this setting does not impact 5.1 output in anyways so you can still keep multichannel audio on to enjoy youtube 2.1 content.
@@rajeshr8121 sir how to increase vocals and mid in this system do you know any equilizer settings?
@@rohitkalkar8006 Go for the preset mode Music and set it to voice on using remote. This gives the best voice output from the centre channel as i am using this for netflix. And also set the SW to number 6 for balanced bass and make sure the sub is placed on the floor and in a corner of the room only. You can also increase the rear speaker volumes individually from the speaker settings using remote.

Brother ,if u area music lover and want to feel (not hear only) detailed music, go for a stereo setup, home theater is not perfect for that (any company, any model)
Does it support dolby only on optical input?
So if I have the budget and my main concern is proper surround sound experience while watching Netflix/Prime or downloaded movies, should I still I pick this or HT-RT3? I will am using Jio STB, planning to get the TCL55P8E TV with Dolby Digital. Which would you recommend as the best device?
still confused with these 2

@@rajeshr8121 bro i have also using this product but the sound all speakers as same how cen you separate chennels please halp me.
@@nikhilkumar9435 channel seperation and Dolby effect depends on the connection type and source content. Make sure the connection is thro HDMI ARC from your Tv and enable Dolby output from your TV. Next is the the audio source MUST be from Dolby digital 5.1 content like in Amazon Prime and Netflix and some Hotstar content. NONE of the You tube content is 5.1 audio even though it says so. So make sure all the above things are right and then you do get 100 percent 5.1 Dolby output from s20r. This system or any system CANNOT convert stereo to 5.1 audio. It must be encoded in the original audio source to get dolby audio.
Hope this helps. 👍👍👍

does it work with youtube music?RUclips music application
Just had a listen to one of these. Is the "bar" on its own supposed to sound worse than telephone quality? There's absolutely no mid or lower from the bar or the surround speakers. Is that how its supposed to work?
To me that seems completely wrong as if you can't have the sub dead centre your voices and dialog will also be off to one side..
What abt ht iv3000 will it b worth now

I am literally begging you guys to do a review on an all in one soundbar Yamaha yas 109, please review soon.
How can i listen to fm radio using this soundbar ,,please help
Can you please please tell me. If I can use my fire tv stick ? And which port will it go into. In the HDMI ARC of tv or the speaker ? And if speaker then how will I connect speakers to my tv ?
You can connect it to fire tv stick using Bluetooth. Fire TV stick has Bluetooth function. Or you can also directly connect it to smart TV. This sound bar only has one Hdmi port so you can't connect both firetv stick and TV to it. You can use optical port that will give the same sound effect because both optical and hdmi port produce dolby digital sound. You need hdmi only when you have atmos or dts soundbar because optical port is not capable of producing atmos sound.
What is the subwoofer size
With which we can get good sound output HDMI arc or optical cable
HDMI cabels decode more dolby sounds
With the same model they have wireless speaker as well, can you review them as well
What is that wireless model name called

Sir, I had almost made my mind to buy this soundbar...I am not in to games but I am hardcore music lover, would you recommend this soundbar or is there anything better in this price range?
If you want to listen to music only then there are better options. However as a home theatre package, this is a pretty good deal.
For music only you could check out studio monitors like the Mackie CR5BT. Same price as this, fewer features but much better for music.

Hi bro, I like your review.. can u pls advice best dobly soundbar under 30k. Which is best for movies, games and music with proper channel separation and best surround sound. Waiting for your response..
There is one that Philips recently announced and we will hopefully get it in for review soon. Also, there is the Yamaha YAS 209, that comes with DTS Virtual X which is an interesting option as well. You can experience these in offline stores before deciding on the one you want. Personally, soundbars don't give the best dolby Atmos experience, so you may want to prioritise sound quality above all else.
Thank you so much for your response.. Can you please advise any other music system which gives best dobly Atmos experience. I am literally confused with these soundbars. Considering 30k budget.
Surround sound depends on movie you are playing, guns akimbo is having best sound effects than avengers end game. Also power rangers, aquaman have very good effects. Some movies is having worst effect. Also make sure you calibrate your seating position with respect to speakers. Only one person can get the full effects on the calibrated position, for all other viewers sound will come from left and right with different volume. Placement of two rear speakers play crucial role in creating the effects. Always go for sound bar with 5.1 as its easy to calibrate.
Logitech 5.1 is beast....it's for both inside & outside home
Hey liked your review, just got confused with you last line, you said for 2.1 system there are other options available, are you suggesting its better to check other options because this literally is a 2.1 system
This is a 5.1 dolby digital HT and he was saying in 2.1 there are many options not in 5.1 systems. At this price this is a brilliant HT, I can say that as I have it.
This home theatre support to Sony led tv w672g
I see Samsung hw t550 but is not 5.1 why the price of s20r is lower ?
I am using the firestick 4k with my 50 inch tv, will this work?
