Additional side-firing speakers fill your space with wide directional sound that bounce off the walls for added atmosphere. Quad woofers round out the sound by delivering deep, punchy bass.

Expand Your Surround Sound

Expand the cinematic experience with optional wireless subwoofer (SA-SW3 or SA-SW5) and rear speakers (SA-RS3R or SA-RS5) to hear sound with even greater impact. Connection is simplified as the subwoofer and rear speakers automatically pair when powered on.
