The Sony HT-S20R is a 5.1-channel home theatre soundbar system that combines a 3-channel soundbar, two compact rear speakers and an external wired subwoofer. With 400 W total power output, it is built to provide separate front, centre, rear and bass channels for movies, TV shows and music.
The dedicated rear speakers add real surround channels behind the listening position, while the external subwoofer handles the low-frequency channel separately. Dolby Digital support allows compatible 5.1-channel content to use the system's separate audio channels for a more cinematic listening experience.
The HT-S20R also provides practical connectivity for everyday entertainment, including Bluetooth 5.0, USB playback, HDMI ARC, optical audio and analogue audio input. Multiple sound modes, including Auto Sound, Cinema, Music and Standard, let you adjust the audio presentation according to the content.
Key Features
Real 5.1-Channel Surround Sound
A standard TV speaker setup can make surround effects difficult to reproduce around the room. The HT-S20R uses a 5.1-channel configuration with a 3-channel soundbar, two rear speakers and a dedicated subwoofer, giving compatible content separate front, rear and bass channels.
400 W Total Power Output
Limited TV speaker output can reduce the scale of movie soundtracks and music. The HT-S20R delivers 400 W total power output, providing dedicated amplification across its 5.1-channel home theatre configuration.
Dedicated Rear Speakers
Surround effects are more directional when rear channels are physically positioned behind the listener. The HT-S20R includes two compact wired rear speakers, allowing compatible surround content to use dedicated rear audio channels.
External Wired Subwoofer
Bass effects need dedicated low-frequency reproduction to remain distinct from the main soundstage. The HT-S20R includes an external wired subwoofer, which handles the system's dedicated bass channel for compatible content.
Dolby Digital Technology
Surround sound encoded in Dolby Digital requires compatible decoding to reproduce its separate channels. The HT-S20R supports Dolby Digital, allowing compatible 5.1-channel content to be reproduced through the system's dedicated speaker layout.
Bluetooth 5.0 Connectivity
Wireless music playback eliminates the need to connect a smartphone using an audio cable. The HT-S20R features Bluetooth 5.0 receiver functionality and supports SBC Bluetooth communication for compatible devices.
USB Audio Playback
Music stored on a compatible USB drive can be played directly through the system. The USB Type-A port supports WAV, MP3 and WMA audio files, providing a simple option for local music playback.
HDMI ARC
Connecting a TV through HDMI can simplify the home theatre setup. The HT-S20R provides HDMI ARC, allowing compatible TVs to send audio to the soundbar through the HDMI connection, with HDMI CEC and BRAVIA Sync support.
Optical & Analogue Audio Inputs
Not every TV uses the same audio connection. Along with HDMI ARC, the HT-S20R provides optical-audio and stereo mini analogue inputs, giving you alternative ways to connect compatible TVs and audio devices.
Multiple Sound Modes
Different types of content can benefit from different sound processing. The HT-S20R offers Auto Sound, Cinema, Music and Standard modes, along with Night Mode and Voice Mode for additional listening control.
