Sony HTC-800DP Home Theater System

Rating:
Summary: Solid sound, great price
Review: I hooked this system up to my TV last night and for the price, it delivers. Looks good, too! Sound is excellent, simple controls, easy to set up, clean design. The remote is a little unwieldy with too many buttons of the same size and shape. Maybe I'll get a universal. Watched MI-2 and this system rocks!

Summary: Marketing Material is wrong
Review: Just received a 42" Plasma tv for the holidays. I wanted a home theater system with S-video to take advantage of the great picture quality. The online marketing material says it's there but after unpacking the system, there was clearly no port input or output and no mention in the manual. After getting on the phone with Sony, they said this model doesn't have S-video. Argh! The speakers sound great though. Ended up buying the Sony HT-6600DP Home Theater in a Box instead.

Review: This DVD player does have S-Video and Component inputs, though you have to buy the cables separately. I hooked it up (with the optional speaker stands that are sold separately) in good time. Sounds great (not that I'm a coniseur). I didn't give it 5 stars because they don't have optical audio inputs (I had to backtrack to Composite audio). Their remote control is pretty bad too. It lacks any kind of flair and the direction keys are tied in with the enter key, a annoyance of mine. May go with a universal remote. It was a fairly cheap home theatre from a good name.
