1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,680
so alex already has actually a pretty decent uh movie and tv watching setup

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:12,880
but one of the biggest problems with it is

3
00:00:10,639 --> 00:00:19,039
the girlfriend appeal factor he's just using like standard monitors

4
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:24,000
instead of something a little classier for those of you who don't know monitors

5
00:00:21,119 --> 00:00:27,840
means powered speakers not just this kind of monitor

6
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:31,519
speaking of class thank you for being the classy guy and leaving the gigantic

7
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:36,800
heavy box for me to deal with by myself here so sony sponsored this video where

8
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:41,760
we're going to be upgrading his setup with the htz9f

9
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:46,960
this is a dolby atmos surround capable speaker bar that apparently doesn't care

10
00:00:44,879 --> 00:00:50,000
what size or what shape your room is in order to achieve its virtual surround

11
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:55,840
and top firing speakers and they also threw

12
00:00:53,120 --> 00:01:01,440
in one of their x900f tvs for good measure so let's go see if we can fix

13
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,440
things up a little shall we all right

14
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:16,799
kind of wish we'd brought a dolly oh how nice of you to catch up

15
00:01:14,799 --> 00:01:20,320
you know i've kind of got the heavier load here today's going to be an

16
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:24,799
interesting lesson on both the benefits and the drawbacks of kind of like

17
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:28,240
standards-based marketing because we're gonna see that you know

18
00:01:26,479 --> 00:01:32,159
when you have atmos that's better than not having atmos

19
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:39,600
oh oh boy so this is the setup then i see you've

20
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:41,759
got all the features you've got the uh

21
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:46,240
egyptian guy on the front i actually don't really know what brand that is

22
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:50,640
you've got your convenient aux cable for plugging it you use this for your phone

23
00:01:48,479 --> 00:01:54,479
use it for the laptop actually so i'm guessing you were getting some

24
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:59,439
some vibration transfer issues here and this this is

25
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:02,479
not really that came with wonderful shut up

26
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,280
yeah that came with them shut up i can't tell if you're joking or not right now

27
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:10,000
no 100 because they sound really great like

28
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:13,200
right here so then as long as we're watching tv

29
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:18,080
like this then everyone's very comfortable near-field monitors good time very very

30
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,599
very comfortable oh i love this very professional

31
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:26,560
high-grade speaker wire we've got going on here with convenient red and black coloring

32
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:32,480
do you need a hand with this i think you're supposed to carry these with two people well i'm carrying it is

33
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:36,959
that a 55 inch yeah oh so the one we're putting in is a lot bigger yeah 65.

34
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:41,840
i hope it doesn't like take over the space

35
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:47,120
it's a very first world problem we're going to just put this in here

36
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:50,760
can i help you with this this is this is totally fine

37
00:02:54,800 --> 00:03:02,159
what the hell is this i forgot about that

38
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:06,159
oh good it lights up why why would you put that on there i've always gotten

39
00:03:04,239 --> 00:03:10,480
such a kick out of the boxes for sound bars cause like

40
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:16,159
it looks really stupid so i guess sound burpers

41
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,879
ah i'm taking up the stubble for now

42
00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:20,879
so part of the the fancy magic tech in this

43
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:25,840
guy is that unlike other dolby atmos sound

44
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,400
bars which rely on upward firing speakers

45
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:34,239
this one achieves the virtual overhead surround

46
00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:36,879
effect that it has with only three

47
00:03:34,239 --> 00:03:41,920
forward firing speakers yeah i have no clue how they do that and

48
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:44,080
then that's part also of what makes it

49
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:48,799
not care what kind of room you're in because it's not actually bouncing

50
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:54,640
the signals so it must just be something to do with some kind of fancy engineering of like a

51
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:58,959
delay of some sort yeah there's like delays so you hear it like i have no

52
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,360
clue sound is freaking complicated because there's a lot more to it than

53
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:06,799
just doing this one earlier and like this one later because if you think about it how

54
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:11,920
would you have three-dimensional perception of sound how would you know if something is over top of you well it

55
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:16,479
actually has to do with like the way the sound waves like bounce inside the shape

56
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:20,880
of your ear and like your brain learns to understand that and the and the the

57
00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:25,199
way that the volume changes as it has to kind of like bounce around in there so

58
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:29,440
it's like not trivial to do something like this

59
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:33,520
there you go okay tv's on but what speakers is it wait do we even

60
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:36,800
have it plugged into the sound bar yet uh no

61
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:41,360
do you have the quick start guide so i'm plugged into the

62
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:46,320
tv arc yup awesome did it switch on its own

63
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:49,680
switching audio to external wow yeah getting started searching for devices

64
00:04:47,919 --> 00:04:53,120
bravia 4k connecting to your wow is that all that

65
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:58,000
i have to do are you a grill guy or a naked guy

66
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:02,479
i'm thinking grill really if the whole point of this is like

67
00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:06,320
better girlfriend appeal yeah we're we're putting the grill on we'll put the

68
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:10,479
grill in all right that's fair don't forget we need room for the sub

69
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:13,759
yep uh where do you want to put that i think that side personally but you can

70
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:17,280
go whichever route you oh i was planning on putting it like way over here oh

71
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,479
right it's wireless yeah it's a wireless sub so like that's one of the reasons

72
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:23,199
why i was like i didn't really want to get a sound bar because you have to like

73
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,320
put the sub yeah so i was kind of thinking just like stealth mode behind

74
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,800
the plan yeah we go behind the plant no one knows it's there also one really great feature that i get

75
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,600
with this is the ability to turn the bass down

76
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,120
right that wasn't a thing with the monitors

77
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:41,360
which is a problem if you want to watch a movie at like one in the morning

78
00:05:39,919 --> 00:05:46,240
do we want to do the wireless speakers now or should we do this later i kind of want to try it without first yeah i was

79
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:50,160
thinking so too okay cool sub for connected wow that was easy

80
00:05:49,039 --> 00:05:56,720
really oh um yeah i probably should wi-fi is probably

81
00:05:53,759 --> 00:06:01,840
fine from here yeah it is okay it's fine until you hit that concrete wall no i'll

82
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:05,840
read it to you i'll read it to you

83
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:08,240
is it two three seven foo

84
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:12,240
okay 106. six just wait wait what was that do you

85
00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:17,919
know which html we plugged it into yeah two two okay i just clicked on one

86
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:19,680
there we go yes 4k

87
00:06:17,919 --> 00:06:23,759
all right so we can launch blu-ray disc player

88
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:28,000
oh man we have planet earth 2 in here oh that's way better yeah

89
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:32,600
all right we should do the demo disc anyway just so we can hear the atmos

90
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,600
stuff

91
00:06:36,479 --> 00:06:41,520
this all sounds like it's kind of coming from the front yeah it really does

92
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:49,680
oh there we go

93
00:06:48,479 --> 00:06:54,630
i was like are we supposed to be impressed right now

94
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:56,560
let's try that again shall we

95
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:02,080
yeah that's that's much wider now

96
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:07,440
so but it's just like a make it good button yeah there's a big old button

97
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:07,440
it's just vertical surround okay

98
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:22,639
now i'm getting some yeah definite stuff going on around me

99
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:29,440
these are pretty cheesy demo animations though yeah

100
00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:31,039
i mean this sounds nice sony

101
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:36,479
honestly it's kind of idiot proof there's not really a lot to change in here is there yeah where's the how far

102
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:40,240
away you are setting speaker settings oh here we go

103
00:07:38,479 --> 00:07:44,400
wow that is quite the measuring tape you've

104
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,199
got yourself there sir so we're going to call that nine feet

105
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:51,680
yeah and we can probably say the subwoofer is what 11. all right well do

106
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:55,280
you want to add the satellites yeah all right let's try

107
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:00,400
how do we know um i think that we just hit link on those and maybe it'll just

108
00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:02,240
find them okay not connected connected

109
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:05,919
with a subwoofer oh i guess we got to do the subwoofer since we did manual

110
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:11,199
linking oh so cool it has chromecast built in yeah it's just a nice oh hello

111
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,759
okay all right oh damn

112
00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:19,759
what is that

113
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:30,800
not bad yeah it's a good thing you guys have concrete walls here

114
00:08:34,479 --> 00:08:41,200
i could be sold on that being uh sitting in a rainstorm

115
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:43,200
yeah i also like if i was blindfolded and he told me that there are speakers

116
00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:49,200
there i'd probably believe you yeah

117
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:55,279
yeah it really gives you the the 360 with that yeah

118
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:57,519
so there it is the sony ht z9f sitting

119
00:08:55,279 --> 00:09:02,000
pretty taking what once was quite a cluttered setup to a very clean one it's

120
00:09:00,399 --> 00:09:06,000
super impressive how they were able to create that much of a surround sound

121
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:10,560
effect using just the three front-facing speakers not just horizontally but also

122
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:13,920
vertically with dolby atmos and it's made all the better adding the two

123
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:18,160
dedicated rear speakers creating a particularly immersive movie and tv

124
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:21,560
watching experience yeah i'm impressed

125
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:27,120
well enjoy yeah i will

126
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:30,240
so thanks to sony uh thanks to you guys for watching if

127
