I am very pleased with my purchase. The sound is great, the sub woofer fills the room. There are a lot of features and options and therefore, a lot to get familiar with in the instruction manual. It does take someone like me (electronic novice) a while to read through and figure everything out. The only other negative was the under sized speaker wires. I'd recommend an upgrade to these wires. Otherwise, I would have rated this equipment 5 stars.

Now this is more like it. I replaced the defective DAV-FX10 with this system. WOW what a difference. This system has a real subwoofer and fills my large family room with all the sound crisp and clear and base you really feel. I didn't use the speaker wires that came with it, I had 14 ga. wire already wired into the walls.

In tems of price and simplicity this system is awesome! I upgraded from the SONY DDW660. This is a huge step up. The active subwoofer really hits for one of these HTIB's. I love the included 5 disc changer.

The receiver has plenty of inputs for all of my toys. I totally recommend this. I picked up some 14 gauge speaker wire to replace the tiny stuff included with this (and all) system.

THIS ROCKS!!

this is my first htib. i chose this set because the reviews were good, deal was good, set had pretty much most basic features like digital inputs, optical input etc and 1000w power. You wont get 1000w just like that. It depends on the input stream - dvd, surround cable or regular cable.

so far impressed with sound quality, bass effect etc. The remote is a little hard to get adjusted, and the speaker wires are pretty mediocre. System appearance is good except for the mega sized swoofer. Overall i would say this is a bang for the buck.

The amp is great, and fills the room with sound. I can hook up everything I have, and room to spare. Except for one thing, I would rate this at five stars, however, the system is only as good as it's weakest component, which happens to be the DVD player. I had it for a month and one day the DVD player would not power up. I bought the system at Best Buy, and they were happy to replace the ENTIRE SYSTEM, but not just the DVD player. So I took it all apart and hauled it all back in to them and got a new system, hooked it all back up...well, another month passed and the exact same problem, this time the system swallowed two brand new DVD's with no way to get them out. The response was, again, to bring in the entire system and they will replace it. What a bother, running all the wires, hooking and unhooking everything, etc. If I could just get the DVD player replaced it would be better. Anyway, buy with caution and make sure you get the extended warranty from your retailer.

After reading lots of reviews, this one seemed to be it. Setup was easy and no problems.

Playing four DVD's on it, the sound was good but I have to run it as 96% volume to get a good sound out. Anything below 50% one can hardly hear. Playing a CD, the volume is twice as loud, i'm not sure why there is a difference.

The auto decoder seems to not select the right coding, manually changing the setting produces a much better sound than the auto selected one. Still thinking of returning this, as on the odd time I want to shake the house I have no volume left!

The sound quality is good and the Sub really hits hard. I don't like the twisting speaker connectors, they are a real pain in the butt to thread speaker wire. The optical plugs also broke on me.

Good equipment but after my experience with their service department I'll never buy anything from Sony again.

I have had problems with this unit since I got it. DVDs pause in the middle of a movie. Once this happens the system will not play again and other functions (on/off, eject, etc.) are very slow to respond. I tried living with this sporadic performance until it was too late. When it did function properly the sound was pretty good.
