The SC-HTB900 would be ideal for anyone who owns a new Panasonic TV and 4K Blu-ray player were it not for the inability of the HDMI ports to pass Dolby Vision and HDR10+. Why Panasonic chose to do this is a mystery, but as a result, this otherwise excellent soundbar falls short of the mark. Once set-up, I connected the HTB900 to the HDMI-ARC port on the Panasonic TX-65GZ950 that I had at the time, but if your TV doesn’t support ARC you’ll need to use the optical digital connection instead. I then connected a Panasonic DP-UB820 UHD Blu-ray player, and a Humax FVP-5000T Freeview set-top box to the two HDMI inputs on the soundbar. The Audizio SB90 Bluetooth Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer emerges as a versatile and impactful audio solution that seamlessly elevates your home entertainment experience.

Watching TV, the soundbar delivers an equally impressive front soundstage that renders the audio with a bold presentation. The speakers reproduce music with definition and clarity, while any effects are placed across the front of the room. The centre channel ensures clear and focused dialogue, and the subwoofer provides bass where needed. A news broadcast or regular show is easily handled by the HTB900, and it's able to give sports broadcasts a greater sense of scale through the noise of the crowd. One of the standout features of the DHT-S216 is its built-in subwoofers. These integral components eliminate the need for additional bulky units while delivering a deep and resonant bass that adds layers of immersion to movies, music, and games. The result is a well-balanced audio profile that enhances every aspect of your content.
