Welcome to our website! As we have the ability to list over one million items on our website (our selection changes all of the time), it is not feasible for a company our size to record and playback the descriptions on every item on our website. However, if you have a disability we are here to help you. Please call our disability services phone line at (262) 242-5599 during regular business hours and one of our kind and friendly personal shoppers will help you navigate through our website, help conduct advanced searches, help you choose the item you are looking for with the specifications you are seeking, read you the specifications of any item and consult with you about the products themselves. There is no charge for the help of this personal shopper for anyone with a disability. Finally, your personal shopper will explain our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, and help you place an order if you so desire.

Sound straight from cinema

Experience authentic cinema surround sound in your living room. Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X® create an immersive multi-dimensional soundscape that brings movies to life with the creator s intent. 1

Image Feature

Sound from above

Thanks to Sony s virtual surround technology, the soundbar can position sound in vertical space-so you can experience three-dimensional audio without the need for in-ceiling or up-firing speakers.

Image Feature

Powerful and well-balanced bass

This wireless subwoofer delivers well-balanced, detailed, and powerful low end that enhances both movies and music-and with simple wireless connection, where you place it is up to you.

Image Feature

Clear voice and precise sound image

Using a single speaker unit to reproduce a wide frequency range from bass to treble simultaneously can cause distortion and result in a muffled and unclear sound image. Our unique signal processing technology suppresses this distortion for clear dialogue and precise imaging.

Image Feature

Crystal clear voice. Precise dialogue.

No more muffled voices. Combined with compatible BRAVIA, our new Voice Zoom 3™ powered by AI machine learning recognizes human voices and amplifies or reduces their volume so even faint dialogue sounds loud and clear. 5

Image Feature

Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Electronics can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new electronics should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.
