If the light is red, it isn't synced to the soundbar. Once the soundbar and subwoofer are plugged in and turned on, you should see a green light in the front top left corner of the subwoofer. Put simply, eARC has higher bandwidth than ARC and also gives the bar access to DTS: X and Dolby Atmos content. With eARC support, this soundbar is future proof and will work with 20 flagship TVs that support eARC. Just remember, that some TVs need you to manually change to ARC in the sound settings. Just connect the two to a power supply, connect the HDMI cable to the ARC port of your TV and to the HDMI out port on the soundbar and you are good to go. The soundbar connects wirelessly to the subwoofer. Setting up the soundbar can be done in less than 5 minutes. However, without top firing speakers or rear speakers, we were interested to see how the object-based surround sound works on this bar. The Sony HT-G700 soundbar does boast of support for DTS-X and Dolby Atmos which is nice. All these features are missing in the Sony HT-G700 and if you want them on a Sony soundbar you will have to consider the HT-Z9F.
You can also control the Yamaha with a dedicated smartphone app. We have seen the Yamaha YAS-209 bring with it support for Wi-Fi and Ethernet along with Alexa built-in.

The Sony HT-G700 also has an optical port, USB port and also supports Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless connectivity. At a similar price point, we have seen soundbars like the JBL SB450 ( review) with 3 HDMI passthrough ports with 4K HDR support (but no support for Dolby Vision). It also boasts of Sony’s BRAVIA SYNC which means that you can connect the soundbar wirelessly to some Sony Bravia TVs. When it comes to connectivity options, the soundbar has an HDMI port for eARC and one HDMI passthrough port that supports 4K HDR passthrough including Dolby Vision at 4K/60P/YUV 4:4:4. Know that when you use ARC (or eARC) to connect the soundbar to the TV, you can control the bar from the comfort of the TV remote. Instead of Sony’s Vertical Surround found on the remote control of the HT-Z9F ( review) of the Sony HT-X8500 ( review), we have an Immersive AE button and we will talk more about that in the performance section. It is very reminiscent of the remote control we saw with the Sony HT-S20R ( review) and that's a good thing. The remote control accompanying the system is compact and has all the essential functions. You also get the remote control in the box, an HDMI cable, and wall mounting brackets. In the box, you get the soundbar itself along with a wireless subwoofer. Does it deliver? Sony HT-G700: What’s in the box Being a simple 3.1 setup, this soundbar claims to give you an immersive surround sound experience. It is a 3.1 soundbar and brings with it a host of features like HDMI eARC along with HDMI passthrough, support for Dolby Atmos and a wireless subwoofer. Whether they can simulate surround sound effectively is a debate for another day. The biggest advantage of a soundbar is that it is easy to set up and with connectivity like HDMI ARC (or in this case eARC), and can also decode audio formats like Dolby Atmos. Soundbars have cemented themselves as must-haves if you want to enhance the sound from your flat-screen TV without investing in a dedicated home theatre setup.
