Ratings and reviews

App crashes. hours on phone with Sony. Systems you are trying to control constantly disconnect. App is only way to control device im using - when it doesn't work,,, the vet expensive device doesn't work. However, when it is working - it is a feature to app. If it worked consistently without issues it would be 5 stars. Note date of this review - they may have updated.

Sometimes it's having trouble connecting to the soundbar HTS2000. I have to reconnect again or go closer to the soundbar. It also needs an update for better integration with the soundbars features. The automatic volume control is a loudness normalization, but will level everything and will lose the sound details of movies or music. Another thing about multichannel PCM, Dolby surround works but DTS virtual X won't and only for PCM 2.0 will it turn on. It also never display S-FORCE PRO?

HT - S2000 I just bought from yesterday , is connect well ,but after that it automatic disconnect ,try many also can't connect back ,and can't find the Bluetooth too , if this app is not complete,pls don't show to ppl to use , lousy app ,
