 Great Product August 29, 2010

This is a great buy. Very easy to install, speaker wire are long enough for large living rooms and the remote can also control your iPod when on the dock. Sound quality is great.
Fantastic Home Theater System August 13, 2010
DD (Pittsburgh, PA)
I bought this system as a christmas gift to my family and we love it. It was so easy to setup; we were using it within 45 minutes (including taking out of the box). The kids love the IPOD dock so they can listen to their music. The sound is great. It fills the room and gives that movie theater feel at home.
The only negative is that some standard format DVDs would not play but they were rented or borrowed from the library and could have been damaged. All DVDs that we have purchased have played just fine. Plus all my own home video clips from the video camera have played just fine.
I would recommend this system.
Works great!! Easy to set up June 13, 2010

I recently just purchased this to replace my five disc Sony dvd player surround.I got this on sale at Walmart for $298. I brought it home and since the speakers are the same color code as my old speakers,I didn't have to do any rewiring. I just simply unplugged the speakers from the back of my dvd player,unplugged the Hdmi cable and unplugged it. I plugged the speakers back into this one and reconnected the Hdmi wire and plugged it in. That was it. I have all my speakers set up in the front of my room on my entertainment unit. This is a set up option. I had never seen a blu ray before,so I rented some from blockbuster to try this out. Avatar(which I own on dvd) was amazing on Blu!! Then we watched Wolfman and I wasn't as impressed. Being as I hadn't really done the setup on this,I decided to do so. Then I found out that the default settings on this unit is 480p!! I read the manual and calibrated my speakers,upgraded to 1080p,and did everything the manual said for best pic and sound. I reinserted Wolfman and it was very crisp and a huge improvement. It actually made me wonder that Avatar must be that damned good to awe me at 480p!!! Anyway,the sound on this is incredible!!! Blu rays really have awesome sound compared to dvd and this really uses all the speakers and you can hear what everyone is saying loud and clear!! On Blus I never have to go above 20 on the volume. Dvds I usually have to up to 22 unless they have DTS. It really upgrades the dvd picture quality too!!Music sounds incredible. I don't ever use the radio since I live out in the country and cannot recieve any signals and the Ipod dock is useless to me since I don't have an Ipod or Iphone. I sold my old player for $200, so I really ended up paying $100 for this. You can't beat that at all!!! Syncs perfectly with my Sony Bravia 46 inch LCD tv too!!!
good sound and good overall unit May 18, 2010

I just returned the system because the dvd tray cover fell off. I liked the system very much but I am not sure why tray cover was so fragile. Lot of reviewers complain about speakers wire length. I bought seperate speaker wire and extended the length to my heart content so that is not really an issue. One side of the wire has a propritary plug on it but other side is regular wire. FM revieve is a little bit weak catching all the stations but I was not too worried about that. The size of the unit is pretty big and did not fit very well in my entertainment center so you may want to check that before you buy. I agree with other reviewers that sound is not very loud but it is a good quality sound. I don't think you can connect to utube or netflex directly either.
All in all I liked the system.

Before buying this product, I listened to this and some Samsung systems. Thought this one was 'good'. It has a really thin sound. My Panasonic 50" tv speaker was better sounding than these speakers. My main issue with the system is the poor sound quality.
I've set up plenty of systems previously and and am technically savvy. This system took over 3 hours to set up. The manual is bad. System is just much more difficult to use than I would have expected. I had 3 manuals infront of me to get it figured out: TV, Cable Box, Sony HTIB manual. Each one of them gives their recommendation on how to set up a system with a TV, HTIB and a Cable box. You have to experiment with which wireup configuration you can get to work and how you want things running in sequence or parallel.
If you do buy this system, don't forget you will need to have your own connection cables (to tv, cable box, etc). I was aware of that before buying, so it wasn't an issue or dissapointing for me. It could be frustrating if you open the big box and expect to be enjoying movies etc an hour later...only to find out you need to run out to the store and get cables or order them online.
Others have commented about short rear speaker wires. I think they are ok, considering I have a big room. The sub is the only wire that I found too short.
Ultimately, I returned this Sony product and bought a Yamaha system without a BluRay player. I figure I would spend the same money on better quality system without BluRay and pick up a separate BluRay for $100-$175 later.
