Summary: Good Product Shame about the surround sound
Review: ordered on amazon.com, for way less than anywhere else i could find it. Same price at local "Best Buy" as the model below, the FC7.

for me, im not an expert, the sound is great, i had a bose system before this and it sounds way better that that.

Installed easily but 3 minor grumbles.
1. The surround sounds cables are not long enough had to go buy some more.
2. Doesnt come with Wall mounts for the Surround sound, Why ?! Seems like most people have surround speakers in the ceiling or on the wall.
3. Cant connect my Dish Receiver video out through the same video out as the DVD, So i have to switch both the TV and the Receiver. No idea why, just wil live with it.

Anyway i like sony products am now looking for a plasma screen to go with it!
Happy listening

Summary: painfull to use
Review: Overall the system is nice: it sounds fine for a low end system and the picture quality is fine. But I hate using it as a CD player. It takes forever to switch between disks, about 30 seconds. Loading or ejecting a disk take even longer. There is no way to tell what disks are loaded in the machine, and you cannot change one disk while it is playing another. These seem like minor things, but when you walk in to the room and turn on the stereo to listen to some music they add up to a 5 minute delay before you are actually listening to anything. Bleh. If I had it to do over I would get a system like my older one that just has a big tray instead of the fancy slot loader. I guess the people at Sony put looks ahead of function on this one.
