Customer Reviews

Good product but be careful!
This product works and sounds very good! HOWEVER... There are no inputs to use which will allow you to hook up say a CableBox or TiVo which can do surround sound. So no optical or coax digital inputs. This means that the only way you will get true surround sound from this system is buy using the built in DVD player. So if you don't need ANY inputs, this would be 5 stars instead of 4. If you read the specification on this unit carefully, you will find no digital inputs, only left and right analog input (1 set). Unfortunately I did not, I just assumed that ANY surround sound system available these days would have digital inputs -- shame on me for not checking -- more shame on Sony for leaving this out. But hey, it's an inexpensive unit. As long as you buy it knowing this, you will be happy with it.

Great for the money - just one oversight.
As many of the other reviewers mentioned below. This system does NOT have any additional optical input which means you cannot get 5.1 sound out of your cable box, Xbox or HD receiver.

If however what you are looking for is a great surround sound system suitable for a room of 15x15 or lesss this is a great choice. To clarify a few things that confused me below. ANY XBR series sony will work just fine with this. There is no such thing as an XBRV or XBRS The V and S series TVs from sony are the similar LCDs with different frames and processors. The XBR2 syncs perfectly. But for what it is worth, all that means is you can use a single remote to control your DVD player and TV at the same time.

To add, if you are content with PRO-LOGIC suround sound (simulated surround sound based off of 2 channel stereo inputs) then you CAN use this system to connect to your VCR TV or other device with an analog input. It has this functionality. ALSO. - there is a 1/8" input on the front of the box suitable for playing your ipod. It just will not charge it.

Regarding the DVD player and changer - it is plenty fast - takes about 10 seconds to swap discs. The upscaling to 1080i is great and the sound is fantastic. Our houde literally thunders with deep bass and really immerses you in the film. The DVD player has some other nice features too including the ability to search by scene and time stamp (a bit better than the standard DVD menu. you can also bookmark favorite scenes. The tuner works finee. Not the worlds greatest receiver but perfectly fine for the average user.

So for me, the only downside is the lack of the optical input. It sure would have been nice - 2 would have been even better. MAJOR oversight by Sony, but for the most part, the HD channels and anything broadcast does not have 5.1 ANYWAY. So if you can live with playing your sbox in stereo or using the pro-logic function to utilize all 5 speakers - then this is a great system for the money.

The wireless set ups is easy. Infrared transmitter and receiver are realtively small and easy to mount or set on furniture. The rear spears require their own amplifier so it does require one 120v outlet and yes the rear speakers need to connect to the amp. People that are complaining about this not truly being wireless are out of their minds. Literally, yes it is not COMPLETELY wireless, but in order to achiteve that each speaker woudl require its OWN amp (making it bigger) and they would have to be battery powered (which would suck). So get over it. It's as wireless as technology allows and its great to not have to run wires across the living room to the rear set.

All in all I give it 4 of 5 for the missing optical inputs and the lack of EQ. What do you expect for $350?

good sound quality but lacks some much needed functions
This is my first home theater system. I enjoyed watching movies on our 46" LCD, not because of the big screen, but the rich sound from this home theater system. Comparing with AMC theaters, this BRAVIA DAV-HDX267W is just as good or even better. At the beginning, the subwoofer may sound too much bass for first time users like me, but after a few times, I really appreciate the rich sound it added.

However, the system does not have digital audio input, so you can not feed high quality sound from HD TV or HD-DVD. Also it does not have ipod or USB port, which many other systems have. You will end up spending a lot of money buying accessories and have them littering all over the otherwise neat bedroom. The wireless rear speakers saved me the headache to run wires across the room. The only problem is that it does not work with the remote. So you have to manually turn it off, which makes such an otherwise nice device look kind of cheap.

Overall, I like the system and will not return it. But if you need the functions it lacks, you may want to think again.
