Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Sony DAV-FX900W DVD Dream System is a home-theater system with integrated 5 DVD/CD changer, incorporating the latest audio and video technologies, including wireless rear speakers, a five-disc DVD changer, and XM-ready satellite radio connectivity. A 5.1-speaker system, with an automatic speaker setup program and a microphone to assist with proper speaker placement and optimizing sound quality, along with an HDMI output, means that you can quickly convert your living room into a full-fledged digital and high-definition theater in no time.

To go along with its sophisticated, contemporary design, the Sony DAV-FX900W includes an HDMI interface to ensure compatibility with the latest in HD digital television. The system's HDMI output, with 720P/1080i upscaling of DVD Media, reads the data on a standard DVD at 480P and maximizes the video resolution to best fit your HDMI compatible TV. This allows for you to enjoy the best in video performance while delivering digital video and audio over one simple cable.

When it's time to calibrate the system to your room, Sony couldn't have made it easier. The DAV-FX900W features Digital Cinema Auto Calibration, which lets you simply place the included microphone in your listening position while Sony's Digital Signal Processing takes over. Speaker placement, distance, and delays are all adjusted automatically to ensure a worry free listening experience. It couldn't be any easier than this. And with the system's Multi-Speaker Formation Select feature, you can use the on-screen display to configure the system for different speaker layouts. And best of all, with DIAT wireless rear speakers (with a wired option if you prefer), the DAV-FX900W relies on infrared audio transmission technology to eliminate the need for wires running from the front of the room to the rear.

The receiver features Digital Cinema Sound Technology, Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic II decoding, dts Decoding and Digital Cinema Sound technology for optimum sound quality. You'll experience a full 1000 watts of power from the receiver (143 watts x 5 speakers plus 285 watts for the subwoofer). The receiver also includes one S-video input, two analog audio inputs, a coaxial audio digital input, one rear component video input, one component video output, two composite video inputs and one composite video output, as well as an HDMI output.

The 5-disc, carousel-style DVD player offers CD, CD-R, CD-RW and MP3 audio playback, as well as DVD/DVD-RW and JPEG video compatibility. The player also features both Precision Cinema Progressive Technology and Progressive Scan ability. With XM Connect-and-Play, the DAV-FX900W is ready to start streaming hundreds of XM satellite radio programs directly to your home. All you need is the optional Connect-and-Play antenna and an XM Radio subscription (both sold separately), and the world of digital radio will be at your fingertips.

What's in the Box
Receiver, 5-disc CD/DVD player, subwoofer, five speakers, and cables.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great System for the Price, October 4, 2006
By J. Eisenhauer (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had just purchased the Samsung HL-S4666W 46" DLP HDTV and I felt I needed a surround sound system to go with it. However, I didn' have thousands to spend, and I needed to get a progressive scan DVD player too. This system answered all my problems at once.

The set-up took about 1-2 hours (mostly just putting the speaker stands together, which are made of metal not cheap plastic). It was probably just as long to actually figure out how everything works. The manual has everything in it; however, it isn't in any logical order.

PROS:
-over 1000W of power
-"wireless" rear speakers w/separate amp (If you step in the way the connection is broken, but it goes back on within a second of walking out of the way)
-HDMI output & optical audio input (plus component, RCA, etc, etc)
-Auto-Calibration mic (I thought it worked pretty accurately, it tells you the distances that it thinks the speakers are from the mic, and they were dead-on in my case)

CONS:
-DVD turntable EXTREMELY slow (I was aware of this before I bought it, and I think most people can deal with it)
-DVD insertion is sort of sketchy (It doesn't tell you when to push the DVD into the slot, you just have to hold it there and hope it sucks it in. I find the easiest way is to "eject" the empty slot and then push the disc in right after the word "eject" comes off the lcd, I've looked all over the manual and haven't found a clear explanation of what I'm doing wrong)
-DVD FF/RW only has 2 speeds (really stupid)

Overall I love this system. I hooked up my PS2 with RCA audio to the receiver and started playing "Guitar Hero", and the sound was great. I've also thoroughly enjoyed watching concerts I have on DVD (Audioslave, Offspring, The Police, Depeche Mode, etc.). They all sound excellent. I have a DirecTV receiver, with the optical connection. It's great watching sporting events and such with this system.

I'm not a professional speaker guy by any means, but for what I use this system for, it sounds great. The DVD player is excellent barring its minor setbacks. On my TV the movies look great through the HDMI cable.

All in all, great starter system with everything included.

EDIT: Now that I've had this thing for a few months, I have a bit more to add. I think there should have been more inputs included with this item. I have a DirecTV box, a PS2, and a record player, and I can't hook up all 3 at the same time. There are a plethora of input types on the back, which is really nice so you can practically hook anything up, but only two things at the same time. Other than that its a great system. It has plenty of power, and I love cranking it up and listening whether it is NFL football or music CDs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Mini System for the price..., June 23, 2006
By Super-Consumer (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
I recently purchased this system for my living room. It performs really well for my needs. Surround sound is great and DVDs look awesome on a Sony XBR970 tv. Two things I don't like. 1.) Auto calibration mic was pretty inaccurate determining speaker setup and 2.) cheesy speaker cable out of the box.

That being said, the thing sounds good, looks good, and I had it set up in about 1 1/2 hours. For the money? Very, very nice.

5.0 out of 5 stars I hate it!, November 11, 2006
By Antonio D. Velazquez (Plainfield, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I hate the fact that since I live in a Town Home, my neighbors bang onto the wall sometimes when I am listening to the music or watching a movie at a "loud" volume when it is only 07:30 pm, party poopers!

Oh, about the system...
I bought it about two months ago. I was undecided between the Onkyo 5.1-Channel-HTS894 (which runs about the same price) or this one. I do not regret about my choice as I love the fact that the rear speakers are wireless to the receiver; I do not have to deal with more wiring other than the front speakers and the sub-woofer.

Great DVD quality when combined with the Sony 50" SXRD-HDMI cable connected. Now I actually have the feeling that I am at the Movie Theatre (only that I can pause the movie whenever I feel like going to get me a refreshmet).

CONS- I do have to agree with other reviewers that the DVD/CD reading is way too slow when changing from disc to disc. The sound is very good, not crisp clear yet, but I am satisfied. I still give it a five stars rating.

PRICE- Excellent system for the price! Very disapointed with Best Buy, as they have this same system but, you can only get it as a "special order", which means that you have to pay $799.00 for the product, plus $250.00 for S&H. Yeah right! Amazon was there to the rescue! Only paid $649.00, plus S&H was free!

By the way, did I mention the fact that if you blast the volume and do not live in a single home, it could be a very good way to meet your neighbors? (ha,ha).
