Questions about Sony HT-X8500

With the KD-55XD9305, which also has only one ACR connection, the soundbar works perfectly (connection from ARC/TV to ARC/soundbar, plus TV cable to TV, plus Blue-ray player cable directly to soundbar).

If your TV is a 4k a HDMI 2.1 cable is what you need

Hello, the soundbar has 1x HDMI-In and 1x HDMI-Out (ARC), you can only connect one device here. But you can connect the PS4 to an HDMI from the TV. The PS4 sound is played back immediately via the soundbar.

Unfortunately, I can't answer that. But I don't understand the problem either. Does it matter which number is there? Which HDMI input does the soundbar use? Do you have an HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) connection? When I connected my Soundbar, I no longer had a display of numbers, but only a + or - that lit up. I have since got used to it and you don't need numbers any more.

Hello, it's the same for me. I also find the volume control, as mentioned above, weak. The sound is good, but it can't replace a subwoofer.

Unfortunately, I cannot answer this question as my TV does not support 4k.

Yes, it works without any problems. I do it from time to time, the sound is great.

I went to Sony to find out more. I am unravelled ;-) I.e. it works wirelessly via Bluetooth or wired via HDMI or optical.

i bought it. there are no cables included. only the cables for the power supply.
