WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.680
so alex already has actually a pretty decent uh movie and tv watching setup

00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:12.880
but one of the biggest problems with it is

00:00:10.639 --> 00:00:19.039
the girlfriend appeal factor he's just using like standard monitors

00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:24.000
instead of something a little classier for those of you who don't know monitors

00:00:21.119 --> 00:00:27.840
means powered speakers not just this kind of monitor

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:31.519
speaking of class thank you for being the classy guy and leaving the gigantic

00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:36.800
heavy box for me to deal with by myself here so sony sponsored this video where

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:41.760
we're going to be upgrading his setup with the htz9f

00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:46.960
this is a dolby atmos surround capable speaker bar that apparently doesn't care

00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:50.000
what size or what shape your room is in order to achieve its virtual surround

00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:55.840
and top firing speakers and they also threw

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

00:00:57.680 --> 00:01:01.440
things up a little shall we all right

00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:16.799
kind of wish we'd brought a dolly oh how nice of you to catch up

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

00:01:18.479 --> 00:01:24.799
interesting lesson on both the benefits and the drawbacks of kind of like

00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:28.240
standards-based marketing because we're gonna see that you know

00:01:26.479 --> 00:01:32.159
when you have atmos that's better than not having atmos

00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:39.600
oh oh boy so this is the setup then i see you've

00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:41.759
got all the features you've got the uh

00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:46.240
egyptian guy on the front i actually don't really know what brand that is

00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:50.640
you've got your convenient aux cable for plugging it you use this for your phone

00:01:48.479 --> 00:01:54.479
use it for the laptop actually so i'm guessing you were getting some

00:01:52.720 --> 00:01:59.439
some vibration transfer issues here and this this is

00:01:57.360 --> 00:02:02.479
not really that came with wonderful shut up

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

00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:10.000
no 100 because they sound really great like

00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:13.200
right here so then as long as we're watching tv

00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:18.080
like this then everyone's very comfortable near-field monitors good time very very

00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:21.599
very comfortable oh i love this very professional

00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:26.560
high-grade speaker wire we've got going on here with convenient red and black coloring

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

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.

00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:41.840
i hope it doesn't like take over the space

00:02:39.440 --> 00:02:47.120
it's a very first world problem we're going to just put this in here

00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:50.760
can i help you with this this is this is totally fine

00:02:54.800 --> 00:03:02.159
what the hell is this i forgot about that

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

00:03:04.239 --> 00:03:10.480
such a kick out of the boxes for sound bars cause like

00:03:08.480 --> 00:03:16.159
it looks really stupid so i guess sound burpers

00:03:12.480 --> 00:03:16.879
ah i'm taking up the stubble for now

00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:20.879
so part of the the fancy magic tech in this

00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:25.840
guy is that unlike other dolby atmos sound

00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.400
bars which rely on upward firing speakers

00:03:27.040 --> 00:03:34.239
this one achieves the virtual overhead surround

00:03:30.799 --> 00:03:36.879
effect that it has with only three

00:03:34.239 --> 00:03:41.920
forward firing speakers yeah i have no clue how they do that and

00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:44.080
then that's part also of what makes it

00:03:41.920 --> 00:03:48.799
not care what kind of room you're in because it's not actually bouncing

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

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

00:03:57.040 --> 00:04:01.360
clue sound is freaking complicated because there's a lot more to it than

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

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

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:16.479
actually has to do with like the way the sound waves like bounce inside the shape

00:04:14.480 --> 00:04:20.880
of your ear and like your brain learns to understand that and the and the the

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

00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:29.440
it's like not trivial to do something like this

00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:33.520
there you go okay tv's on but what speakers is it wait do we even

00:04:31.840 --> 00:04:36.800
have it plugged into the sound bar yet uh no

00:04:34.880 --> 00:04:41.360
do you have the quick start guide so i'm plugged into the

00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:46.320
tv arc yup awesome did it switch on its own

00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:49.680
switching audio to external wow yeah getting started searching for devices

00:04:47.919 --> 00:04:53.120
bravia 4k connecting to your wow is that all that

00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:58.000
i have to do are you a grill guy or a naked guy

00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:02.479
i'm thinking grill really if the whole point of this is like

00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:06.320
better girlfriend appeal yeah we're we're putting the grill on we'll put the

00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:10.479
grill in all right that's fair don't forget we need room for the sub

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

00:05:12.400 --> 00:05:17.280
go whichever route you oh i was planning on putting it like way over here oh

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

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

00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:26.320
put the sub yeah so i was kind of thinking just like stealth mode behind

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

00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:33.600
with this is the ability to turn the bass down

00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:37.120
right that wasn't a thing with the monitors

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

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

00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:50.160
thinking so too okay cool sub for connected wow that was easy

00:05:49.039 --> 00:05:56.720
really oh um yeah i probably should wi-fi is probably

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

00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:05.840
read it to you i'll read it to you

00:06:01.840 --> 00:06:08.240
is it two three seven foo

00:06:05.840 --> 00:06:12.240
okay 106. six just wait wait what was that do you

00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:17.919
know which html we plugged it into yeah two two okay i just clicked on one

00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:19.680
there we go yes 4k

00:06:17.919 --> 00:06:23.759
all right so we can launch blu-ray disc player

00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:28.000
oh man we have planet earth 2 in here oh that's way better yeah

00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:32.600
all right we should do the demo disc anyway just so we can hear the atmos

00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.600
stuff

00:06:36.479 --> 00:06:41.520
this all sounds like it's kind of coming from the front yeah it really does

00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:49.680
oh there we go

00:06:48.479 --> 00:06:54.630
i was like are we supposed to be impressed right now

00:06:51.840 --> 00:06:56.560
let's try that again shall we

00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:02.080
yeah that's that's much wider now

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

00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:07.440
it's just vertical surround okay

00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:22.639
now i'm getting some yeah definite stuff going on around me

00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:29.440
these are pretty cheesy demo animations though yeah

00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:31.039
i mean this sounds nice sony

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

00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:40.240
away you are setting speaker settings oh here we go

00:07:38.479 --> 00:07:44.400
wow that is quite the measuring tape you've

00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:47.199
got yourself there sir so we're going to call that nine feet

00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:51.680
yeah and we can probably say the subwoofer is what 11. all right well do

00:07:49.280 --> 00:07:55.280
you want to add the satellites yeah all right let's try

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

00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:02.240
find them okay not connected connected

00:08:00.400 --> 00:08:05.919
with a subwoofer oh i guess we got to do the subwoofer since we did manual

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

00:08:11.280 --> 00:08:15.759
okay all right oh damn

00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:19.759
what is that

00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:30.800
not bad yeah it's a good thing you guys have concrete walls here

00:08:34.479 --> 00:08:41.200
i could be sold on that being uh sitting in a rainstorm

00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:43.200
yeah i also like if i was blindfolded and he told me that there are speakers

00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:49.200
there i'd probably believe you yeah

00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:55.279
yeah it really gives you the the 360 with that yeah

00:08:51.760 --> 00:08:57.519
so there it is the sony ht z9f sitting

00:08:55.279 --> 00:09:02.000
pretty taking what once was quite a cluttered setup to a very clean one it's

00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:06.000
super impressive how they were able to create that much of a surround sound

00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:10.560
effect using just the three front-facing speakers not just horizontally but also

00:09:08.640 --> 00:09:13.920
vertically with dolby atmos and it's made all the better adding the two

00:09:11.920 --> 00:09:18.160
dedicated rear speakers creating a particularly immersive movie and tv

00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:21.560
watching experience yeah i'm impressed

00:09:22.160 --> 00:09:27.120
well enjoy yeah i will

00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:30.240
so thanks to sony uh thanks to you guys for watching if

00:09:28.640 --> 00:09:33.279
