Once connected, set the TV to use the sound bar as the sound source. Mine automatically setup when I connected the cable. At this point, you use the Yamaha remote to set the options (like surround) that you want. Then you don't need the Yamaha remote any more. At this point, it should automatically be controlled by your TV remote OR your Firestick remote. **Q: my previous yamaha sound bar kept switching back to tv speakers, does this one do the same?** A: No it will not. If you plug the sound bar into the ARC connection in the back of your TV then it will keep the sound from the sound bar **Q: Does this use Bluetooth 4 or Bluetooth 5?** A: Thanks for your question. Bluetooth Version/Profile: Version: Ver 5.0 / Profiles: A2DP / Codecs: SBC, AAC. World Wide Stereo is 42 years old and a proud authorized Yamaha dealer. **Q: Will this work on HD Vizio tv** A: It should work since most HD TV are all equipped with HDMI arc connection ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent for the price *by on Reviewed in the United States December 14, 2023* Using this for watching motorcycle races on my monitor and for playing computer games, plus occasional music. Out of the box everything worked perfectly, set-up is very easy including Bluetooth, and although I did scan the instructions the truth is it’s pretty obvious what buttons do what. Has a nice little remote control (battery included). I have mine connected to my computer via Bluetooth - just turn on the soundbar, go to your computer settings screen, select “bluetooth” and click on the Yamaha option. Easy as pie. Except that I’ve never made a pie and would probably find it quite difficult. So ignore my dearth of baking talent and let’s move on, shall we?Sound is good! Considering the size and price ($129 on sale) it’s excellent! The 3D sound feature actually works and I can say I’ve never noticed such features work ever before on anything else. Somehow it fools my ears to believe sound is coming from far off to the sides…I like it. My main desire for any sound system is bass, though, and I bought this specifically because folks said it had good bass. The sound, not the fish. To keep you in suspenders (ha!) one minute longer, the mids and highs are great - clear, clean, quality you’d expect from the tuning fork people - and it does not sound like the vast majority of Bluetooth speakers, even expensive name brands, which I find always sound muted and/or hollow. Even big name BT speakers always sound pretty poor, in my arrogant opinion. Not this one. This sounds like it’s a real soundbar and just happens to be operating over BT. On the same vein, even the bigger BT speakers that claim to be bass monsters leave me underwhelmed. Disappointed. Aggrieved. Other words that mean ‘let down because no boom-boom good’. So how about this here Yammy-haw? Surprisingly good! That’s correct! Initially I was mildly okay with it as I played Teach Me How to Dougie; that’s my go-to bass comparison song because (a) it has very deep bass, (b) I like the song, and (c) there is no C. It was never going to shake the walls but it provided a little vibration to the desktop on which the soundbar rested. Eh. Turned on and off the Bass Extend button a few times, feeling a bit disappointed once again but blaming myself for having hope to begin with. Then I looked at the remote and paused momentarily. There in rubberized glory is a volume button for subwoofer!?! I increased the sub. It helped. I did it more. It helped more. I pushed that button till I knew it could hold no more, and hallelujah the bass came alive!!! It’s still a small soundbar with small speakers, but it made me soooo happy to actually get the desk to jiggle and to feel just a little salving bass massaging my soul! It will never replace a really, really good sound system. I have Sonos surround for the big TV which makes the house shake, but for playing Call of Duty or StarCraft or watching MotoGP racing this is way better than merely adequate. It’s enjoyable! And the surround feature thing is kinda like icing on the cake, although who eats cake without icing anyway? Seriously. Even muffins and cupcakes get icing. Iiiiiiiiicing….Anyway, happy? YES! Long-winded? Also yes! Will you be happy with it? How would I know? But if you don’t require the windows to rattle while watching TV, or if you’re not in a financial place to buy a massive surround sound system, or if you just want decent noises for your computer games, this is definitely great sound for the price point. Best I have ever heard for the price, and I have a LOT of disappointing speakers cluttering up drawers and cupboards to base that from. I also ended that defense with a preposition. Dad would be so annoyed. He thought he taught me better.Quit reading this and go buy the soundbar already! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.5 Stars actually - voice enhancement less than hoped for. It does NOT work with all TVs *by on Reviewed in the United States March 6, 2022* Review of YAMAHA SR-B20A Sound Bar with Built-in Subwoofers and BluetoothI researched a LOT before settling on this sound bar and even had to send a different brand back due to a problem right out of the box. I was looking for a sound bar with voice enhancement/clarifying capabilities. But, I wanted a subwoofer too, and not just a TV speaker with voice enhancement. I am in my 60s but have always suffered some hearing loss ever since serving in the military in the artillery. This is a real sound bar and has dual subwoofers built in. It DOES NOT work with older TVs (more below).Likes: It has Bluetooth capabilities. This came well packaged and was easy to hook up. The sound is pretty darned good for having built in subwoofers. The remote works well and is responsive. It will come on and go off with your TV. Voice enhancement was helpful, but not as much as I had hoped. It is a decent looking sound bar too. The controls on the sound bar work well should the remote fail for some reason. It produces all the sound I need and the different modes work nicely and are easily chosen via the remote buttons, which are well labeled.Dislikes: It does not enhance/clarify the voices as well as I had hoped. You can tell some difference, but I still use closed captioning when anyone else is present in the home, including when I have my fur grandson as I don't want to hurt his ears. It DOES NOT work with older TVs, or at least it did not work with my Samsung that was almost 9 years old. It had HDMI and the digital optical output too. The sound bar did not work with both, or one of either plugged in. I ended up having to buy a new TV that had eARC HDMI available. At first, I had got hold of Yamaha customer service and explained what the issue was before I bought the new TV. Their customer service said it was a problem with the Samsung settings and I would have to contact Samsung. There were no settings in my older Samsung as they described so I hooked the sound bar up to a slightly newer VIZIO that my daughter's room had in it and the sound bar worked. I was just tired of messing around at this point and bought a new LG TV with eARC.All in all, I am pleased with the purchase although not happy with their tech support or claims that it will work with most and even older TVs. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good soundbar a solid B+ Rating *by on Reviewed in the United States February 2, 2022* Purchased 2 days ago now and I have to admit I am overall pleased with the purchase. I'd say for a soundbar under $200 it is quite a good product. For me personally I just wanted to have a good speaker for movie watching and this delivers. Now it is 120w so don't expect it to shake the floors or anything. But it delivers crisp sound and the built in subwoofers do their job. They can't beat a true dedicated subwoofer. But they do a good job overall. I watched a few movies and the 3d surround really adds to the audio experience. The lows are just ok, but the mids, and highs are excellent. The biggest let down would be music from my phone via Bluetooth is sort of hollow and not that great. But, for movies and TV it is excellent. I like that it is designed nice and it is minimalistic in that sense. It is wider then other soundbars but still fits nicely on a stand. The HDMIarc works nicely and it turns on and off with my TV quite nicely. It also doesn't turn off when pausing a movie. Installation could be done by a child so no worries there. Overall a good quality product that is a good addition for any mid size to small space. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yamaha Audio SR-B20A Sound Bar with Built-in Subwoofers and Bluetooth, Black - Silkland 8K HDMI ARC/eARC Cable 2.1 for Soundbar 6.6ft, 8K@60Hz, 4K@120Hz High Speed HDMI Cord for Gaming, 48Gbps, Dolby Atoms, HDR10 HDCP Compatible for Vizio Samsung Bose Sound bar, UHD TV, Blu-ray - KabelDirekt TOSLINK – Optical Audio Cable – 6ft – Fiber Optic Cord, S/PDIF Digital Audio Optical Cable for Soundbar, Stereo Systems, Home Cinema, Xbox One/PS4 – Designed in Germany --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/223438605-yamaha-sr-b20a-sound-bar-with-built-in-subwoofers-bluetooth](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/223438605-yamaha-sr-b20a-sound-bar-with-built-in-subwoofers-bluetooth) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-25*
