What's great about it: 5.1 audio
This is a great sound system from sony. I really like the AM tuner in it. Set up is very easy. The speakers are great to use in an apt. The little speakers put out great sound and when its hooked up to a TV it does a grat job.

What's great about it: Price, sound
What's not so great: Bass can be overpowering
I was looking for a budget home theater system, and found this one online. Went to the store, and the only one was an open box at a discounted price. Had no remote , so picked up a universal. Also, no manual, but found one online.
Was a breeze to hook up and get going. Instantly noticed a drastic improvement over the old soundbar. We watch a lot of sports, and the sound is terrific. Movies are great as well. For the price, this is by far exceeds my expectations.

got this for a kids playroom. everything works great. I am not an electronic snob, so i just wanted something that didnt cost to much and met my needs. This one does everything i need. the suround sound wires were just the right size to fit my 17x15 room. any bigger and i would have to get longer wires. FM radio sounds great. easy to use remote. It only has one disc at a time.... but my other one that is a 5 disc, i am having problems with. in my case simple is better.

What's great about it: Great price, great sound
What's not so great: No HDMI inputs, not enough digital audio inputs, proprietary speaker cables, defective FM antenna
This surround sound system has great 5.1 surround sound at an affordable price. The unit only has a DVD player, which is exactly what you need if you own a separate blue ray player and DVR. The receiver only has one optical port and one coaxial digital port. Ideally, I would like to see it with two of each for versatility. I had to send the sound from my PS3 and DVR through HDMI cables to my TV and then one coax digital out from the TV to the receiver. It also has no HDMI inputs. Some of the better receivers have HDMI inputs that allow you to plug everything into the receiver and then run one HDMI cable to the TV. One huge complaint I have is that the FM tuner broke when I attempted to plug the antenna into it. I hardly planned to use FM radio so I felt it wasn't worth boxing everything back up and taking it back. Overall, if you're looking for an affordable surround sound system this is a great product.

What's great about it: great price for a Sony product
What's not so great: nothing as of yet.
I can't remember how much my old Surround Sound cost me, that's how old it is but it still produced a great sound, but it was time to upgrade. I saw this great product for around 200.00, brand name Sony,,,great!!!! DTS sounds great using my blu ray (playstation3) player, and at 1000w,,,,why go to the movies. I'm all set with my 73" DLP TV 1080p and my new Sony Bravia surround sound.

What's great about it: Sound for the money
What's not so great: Make sure your Ipod is new enough
I had been looking for an audio system for a while which could deliver some punch but is reasonably priced for the garage. I settled on this unit because it has 1000w of bark and took up minimal space. I can play cd's,radio,input my XM and interface my iPod (Well, watch yourself here, they only go back just a few generations) The sound for the money is well worth it, I can also hook a TV up if I wish. I like how I can hang the small speakers on the wall.

I just received this stereo as a gift, and I have to say, I am quite surprised! It's very unassuming based on appearances, but once you get everything hooked up, the stereo really comes alive! I watched a few movies, and was blown away by how much depth the system has, as well as the full range provided by the surrounding 5 speakers. Also, allowing optical audio input makes this essentially a receiver with a built-in DVD player. However, I personally do not use the DVD player on this unit, as I do not need it.
Worth noting, this unit does NOT have any HDMI inputs! It only has one output, and that's for the built-in DVD player. It's needed for setup, but after that, you can safely ignore the HDMI output. Also, when using the optical audio input, be sure to set the receiver to Cable/TV mode to get your sound. =) Also, based on market prices, I would say it would be hard to find something this good for this price.
If you're looking for an all-in-one unit that has great sound and a great price and is easy to setup, this is definitely worth considering.

What's great about it: price, sound quality, flexibility
What's not so great: short speaker wire, slow DVD read, no EQ
OK, folks, let's get two things straight right off the bat:
First, if you live in a house large enough for this system to be "too quiet", then you're probably in a place large enough that you shouldn't have bought an economy package to begin with. Come on, people! This is 1000 WATTS!!! My house is 1250 sq ft.. I put this system in my basement and can hear it loud and clear in every room of the house UPSTAIRS!
Second, I don't understand what all the complains are about not having extra inputs. Aside from the build-in DVD player, I have my cable TV, computer audio, and video game system all hooked up. There's still a space left over for an MP3 player. Again, if you have so many devices that you need more inputs, you shouldn't have bought an economy package to begin with.
This is really a great package for the price. Loud and proud, good sound quality, plenty of inputs. That said, it *is* an economy system and there are some drawbacks for you to be aware of:
1. One reviewer was right on when he said they skimped on the wire. The front wires are too short. I have an 8-foot wide projector screen. The wires are not long enough to stretch the mere 5' horizontal and 3' vertical to where I want them positioned. Almost guaranteed you'll need extra wire.
2. No EQ settings. Uh, actually, they have 2 automatic modes: "Movie" and "Music". To Sony's credit, the sound out of these speakers is actually very good. But not having more flexible EQ settings always makes me a bit nervous.
3. The extra inputs are a bit quiet, as other reviewers said. Even the digital ones, which doesn't make any sense to me. Digits is 0's and 1's indicating input volume. So how Sony managed to throttle back the volume of a digital input is a little mystifying.
4. World's slowest DVD reader. Seriously. Put in a disc, then go make your popcorn. By the time you get back you MIGHT be able to see the main menu for your disc. And no, it's not my discs. I have 3 other DVD players in the house. None of them are like this.
5. User manual. The instructions are understandable, but the organization makes it very difficult to find what you're looking for without reading from cover-to-cover.
On the whole, this is a great system for the price. I have no buyer's remorse. I read all the reviews on this site and I'm happy to say that overall I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this system. Just bear in mind it *is* an economy system.
This product has... Slow load time, Easy to use controls, Good connection options

this would have been a great system if all i needed it for was the dvd home theater the sound quality was great on dvd not really loud enough for me but when i switched to the input lost so much sound quality and volume. Had it almost at max and wasn't loud at all , i could still hear my wife talking. I must mention though it was installed in a room that is 15' x 20' with open floor plan, i bet it would sound great in a smaller room that could be closed off

What's great about it: Straight forward setup out of the box.
What's not so great: Lack of HDMI input.
I was trying to get my PS3 and 360 to give me surround sound though this system. It doesn't have any inputs other than the optical, which is says it will use. Because there is only one, I can't only use the optical out from the TV.
This system might produce 5.1 from optical, but I wouldn't have the ease of use that I would like.
I'm returning the product because it doesn't meet my needs. It gets a good rating because it sounded decent and really isn't a bad product, just doesn't meet my needs.

When integrated with a Sony Bravia TV, this unit makes it so much easier to use a single remote without a lot of remote programming difficulties.
The sound is tremendous and the 5.1 separation is excellent. Digital music (from cable) is just wonderful, and the HD sports programs are really enhanced with surround sound.
