Summary: Do not buy from Sony!!!
Review: This is the 3rd home theather Sony branded I have. I bought this unit less than a year ago and the display went dead suddenly. Now Sony is charging me $200 to have it fixed. What a disappointment for a company that claims to be best in class. Never will do business with them again.

Summary: Best available option for music/dvd lovers
Review: This is the best available option for music/dvd lovers. By providing a seperate receiver and dvd player the sound quality on this system has improved by ten folds over the old sony dream systems. The seperately powered sub-woofer adds an extra quality to the sound. Its easy to setup though you must read the manual before setting it up. I have loved it ever since I've bought it and will recommend it as a must buy for music lovers out there.

Summary: Incredible!
Review: This system is well worth the money. It really does sound fantastic. I have a large apartment and this baby fills it with no problem. The changer played every disc I threw at it (cd-r, cdrw, dvd r+) with no problem. I haven't been able to test out the progressive scan yet, but when my HDTV is delivered next week, I'm sure I won't be disappointed. I highly recommend this system.Update: I got my new TV and let me just say that watching DVD's with Progressive scan and through component video cables is unbelievable! This system was one great buy!

Summary: A big step up from pro-logic
Review: Wow! Our previous system was a Kenwood Dolby ProLogic receiver (100W/ch) w/ Bose 301 front speakers (we used "emulated" center channel) and some generics for the rear. And we thought it was nice. We were not prepared for this. After hooking things up we watched Jurassic Park. When the T-Rex roared you knew it, even if you were in a different room. On the other side of things, you can hear people speaking very clearly. I tend to agree that the manual could be a little more user-friendly but I had no trouble (mainly because I only hooked up the included DVD changer audio to the receiver {using digital via included coax}, the component video went straight to the TV and the speakers hooked to the receiver.) I have no more use for my equalizer, cd player, vcr, tape deck, etc. but there are plenty of hook-ups for these devices.
Mostly everything is set-up correctly right from the box. Just make sure you configure the DVD to turn on DTS and Dolby Digital. I also suggest using the digital coax (orange jacks) for connecting the DVD audio to the receiver and getting better speaker wires for the speakers (lamp cord from HomeDepot or Lowes is 100x better than the scrawny included wires)
