I did a lot of research looking at multiple surround sound systems and I'm very glad I chose this one. The surround sound and picture quality are great, the FM receiver works well (you'll just need to make sure the antenna is extended up as far as possible to help pick up the weaker stations), and it comes loaded with several different options for listening to music and watching movies/videos via the internet (i.e. Pandora and Netflix, just to name two) which work great. The set up was very easy (it comes with a DVD that I didn't even use), the speaker wires are all color coded so you easily connect the correct speaker to the correct wire to the correct plug on the back of the base unit. The only problem I had with the wires is that the ones for the two rear speakers were about 15 feet too short for the way I wanted to place them. I just bought a 75 foot coil of speaker wire from Walmart for $15 which I then cut and spliced onto the existing wire so I could run them down through floor, across the floor joists, and then up through the floor to place them where I wanted them. The only other minor issue I had is that for the first couple of days it would not start up and shut down properly. I had to turn it on, turn it off, and then turn it on again before I would get any sound. And when I would turn it off it would go into "stand by" mode for at least 30 seconds (during which time it would not respond to any input commands from the remote) before shutting off. But by day 3 or 4 these start up/shut down issues totally disappeared. Even with the two small issues I had I would definitely buy another one and recommend friends to buy one.

Ok, I read a lot of reviews on this product, and I understand where most people are coming from when they write these reviews. Ill break it down to my key points to keep it short.

- I linked this system to my Sony Bravia TV. It worked perfectly and took me less than 15 minutes to install. If your in the military and live in Germany, this product is dual voltage and does not require a transformer.

- I didnt have to use customer service because I have a brain and I used it to troubleshoot. I hear tons of complaints about Sony's customer service. Unless the product is broken in half, you probably just need to read the manual. It isnt that hard, either that or you arent that smart. Its 2011, this is technology, get used to it.

- I bought this to hook up my PS3 and XBOX - the two ports in the back of the system were perfect for this. If you need more ports then buy a multi hdmi out. Its not expensive and quit being lazy. Honestly.

- Overall ive had this product a month and never had any issues. 9 times out of 10 its the user. Sony makes a great product, people just love to complain. Yay internet, right? Now I get to hear about it all the time.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT IF YOU EXPECT THE EXACT SAME EXPIERENCE YOU WOULD GET FROM A MOVIE THEATER. THIS IS A HOME THEATER SYSTEM! HOME!!!! FOR A GREAT PRODUCT AT A GREAT PRICE, BUY IT!

I'm downgrading my rating because I'm beginning to have problems with this system. On three separate occasions, I have turned the system on and there was no sound. I had to turn everything off and then restart. Another major problem is that while watching television, the actors voice don't match their lips. There's some kind of delay.

Original review:

This sleek, stylish system pumps out a lot of sound, especially considering the smaller size of the speakers. The bass is rich without being overly heavy. The speakers have a great look with a piano black finish. If I had one complaint, it would be the lackluster remote. It's very basic, with all the buttons jammed together with no backlighting. You won't be able to use this easily in a dimly lit room.
