·         Immersive surround sound with various sound stage/modes
·         Power-packed 550W of true 5.1 channel surround sound
·         Stream online music  from your mobile with Google Cast™ and Spotify Connect™

(SINGAPORE, 4 September 2015) – Sony’s latest Sound Bar treats you to an authentic home cinema experience – with room-filling audio from 5.1ch speakers, and a wide selection of online music services.

The space-saving HT-RT5 brings something really special to movie nights, fun-filled parties and everyday music listening around the home. There is an awesome 550W of dynamic multi-channel power on tap: you will hear – and feel – each orchestral crescendo and the crunch of every explosion.

A choice of sound modes tailors your preferences to whatever’s on screen. Football Mode captures the acoustics of the Morumbi Stadium in Brazil; Cinema Studio 9.1ch transports you to the famous Cary Grant Theatre at Sony Pictures Studios in Los Angeles; and Digital Music Arena recreates the expansive live acoustics of London’s O2 Arena.


The slim, stylish 3-channel main unit fits discreetly in front your TV or can be wall mounted. The main unit includes a dedicated centre speaker that assures crystal clear dialogue and transparent treble, regardless of volume. It is combined with two wireless rear speakers and a separate wireless subwoofer. Set-up is wonderfully easy: each additional speaker connects automatically, with no loudspeaker cables needed. The system even comes supplied with a microphone to test your room’s acoustics using Digital Cinema Auto Calibration DX ensuring the best possible sound wherever the speakers are placed. You’re rewarded with 5.1 channels of immersive audio, with solid bass response that draws you in to the heart of the action. Today’s high-quality listening formats are naturally catered for, with support for HD audio sources like DTS-HD and Dolby True HD.

Pristine movie soundtracks are only the start with the HT-RT5. There’s a huge choice of online music entertainment to enjoy, with Spotify Connect™ and over 100 other music services including Deezer and Google Play Music. Google Cast™ makes it easy to ‘cast’ online music and radio services seamlessly from your mobile device. Just tap the Cast icon and playback is transferred seamlessly from your smartphone or tablet to the Sound Bar for everyone to enjoy.


One-touch listening via NFC lets you stream music using Bluetooth® with soaring highs and full, rich bass with a single touch of your smartphone or tablet. LDAC™ technology from Sony transmits three times more audio data than typical Bluetooth® connections, for super-clear, detailed sound you’ll love.


Wireless Multi-room listening brings your music wherever and whenever you want to. Use your phone or tablet to control playback with our friendly SongPal™ app. It’s easy to group the HT-RT5 with other compatible wireless speakers and hi-fi systems around the house. You’ll instantly hear the same sound everywhere at once – great for entertaining a house full of party guests with your favourite Spotify playlist.

The HT-RT5 Sound Bar will be available in all Sony stores and authorised outlets from October 2015 onwards at a recommended retail price of S$999.

Sony MHC-V7D


(SINGAPORE, 28 July 2015) – The new MHC-V7D Mini Hi-Fi System from Sony is just the right home audio device that you can bring around to house parties. Featuring just one speaker system, it’s not just space-saving but also easy to carry – so you don’t have to worry about limited space or inconvenience anymore!

The MHC-V7D comes with the powerful Smart High Power technology which channels sound through a specific sound path to increase acoustic pressure and create a clear and full bass. The sound pressure horn enables them to present soul-shaking beats that can really be felt as you sway along with the tunes. Furthermore, while sound comes out powerful and intense, the Mini Hi-Fi System does not use up much electricity as it possesses power-saving technologies to conserve energy.

Separately, DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) elevates your music by restoring high-frequency signals often lost in compressed audio sources, while ClearAudio+™ technology optimises sound settings with one single touch. The end results are powerful sound pressure and massive bass that are just right for any parties or celebrations.

To bring the party up a notch, Gesture Control Technology lets you effortlessly transcend the world of DJs as you control both the music and lighting with the flick of your hand. Additionally, enhance your favourite tracks with easily-controllable sound effects, such as audience reactions or the addition of your own voice with two Microphone inputs for Karaoke. The bass bumping MHC-V7D also allows you to elevate the atmosphere on your dance floor further by engaging your visual senses with integrated, adjustable space illuminating party lights that let you synchronise the light effects with the beat of the music.

Connect your smartphone to the speaker system via NFC and Bluetooth® to wirelessly stream and listen to your playlists on the device. Separately, the new Fiestable app enables you to fully control music, lighting, as well as several effects, even while you mingle with your friends! Simply download the app from the Google Play™ or App Store and connect the MHC-V7D to your smart device, which will act as a remote control.
