I enjoyed the deep bass with the subwoofers 'SA-SW3' and 'SA-SW5' that can be incorporated into Sony's audio system without any settings.
Sony introduced the home theater system 'HT-A9 ' on August 7, 2021, which allows you to experience stereophonic sound with '360 Spatial Sound Mapping' using four speakers. The wireless subwoofers 'SA-SW3 ' and ' SA-SW5 ' that can be added to the system built with this HT-A9 without any settings have also appeared on the same day. As for the HT-A9,

◆ I tried to incorporate SA-SW3 and SA-SW5 into the HT-A9 system.
First, let's incorporate the SA-SW3 into the HT-A9 system. Incorporating it requires only one operation, just connect the SA-SW3 to a power source near the pre-built HT-A9 system.
After connecting to the power supply and waiting for a few seconds, the small light on the front of the SA-SW3 will turn green.
After that, if you play music and movies on the HT-A9 as usual, you can enjoy the deep bass of the SA-SW3. By incorporating the SA-SW3 into the system, you can feel as if you were in a movie theater by adding powerful deep bass to the immersive stereophonic sound of the HT-A9.
However, it seems that it is not supposed to be used to switch between multiple subwoofers, and when I turned on the power of SA-SW5 after turning off the power of SA-SW3, the light of SA-SW5 turned red. Could not connect.
In this case, you can connect manually. First, select 'Detailed settings'-> 'Speaker settings'-> 'Wireless speaker settings'-> 'Start manual link' from the HT-A9 settings ...
Then press the LINK button on the back of the SA-SW5.
In addition, press the LINK button on the bottom of the four HT-A9 speakers ...
Select Start and wait for a while.
If 'Connected' is displayed for all speakers, the connection is complete.
When I checked the SA-SW5 in this state, the light was lit in green.
After that, you can enjoy the deep bass of SA-SW5 by playing music and movies as usual. The SA-SW5 had the impression that the bass sounded more firmly than the SA-SW3, and even when played at the same volume, the bass sounded more heavily on the body and the walls of the room than the SA-SW3.
Finally, I tried to connect SA-SW3 and SA-SW5 at the same time, thinking 'What happens if I connect two subwoofers?', But only one of them is recognized and the two are not connected at the same time. It was possible.
◆ Summary
When I actually used SA-SW3 and SA-SW5, it was a subwoofer that could be connected by a simple method of turning on the power when connecting only one body. In addition, by incorporating it into the HT-A9 system, it is possible to enhance the power without destroying the presence of stereophonic sound, so it was possible to enjoy a higher-grade acoustic experience.
