 So-So product, not worth itNov 12, 2009
I purchased this system mainly because I wanted 5.1 sound for my gaming systems, and dvd/bd. The fact that the rear speakers were wireless and it comes with a separate little s-air unit was a bonus for me.
Let me talk about the good points first. The setup was pretty simple. The manual is not the best but adequate to get the job done. The wireless rear speakers are a great touch and I really like having the separate s-air unit as I can listen to the radio/music in a separate room.
Now comes the bad part, the sound. It's really weak and uneven. I daresay my TV's built in speakers were more consistent. When watching DVD's or Blu-Rays the dialogue is very hard to understand and I'm constantly raising/lowering the volume. With my games it's not as pronounced but still noticeable. The problem is that there really is no way to set the bass level, balance/fade or anything really. This unit lacks even one of those cookie cutter presets like "music," "movie," etc etc. I'm just thankful Sony was generous enough to allow adjusting the volume levels. As far as the wireless connectivity goes, my s-air unit works fine but the speakers started cutting in and out some time ago after working great for about 6 months. I haven't had much luck fixing the issue, and I really didn't change my home wirless setup in the interim so my best guess is that something from the apartments next door is messing with the signal. Last but not least the system's remote has one of the worst layouts I've seen in a while. Not much contrast in size/color, small fonts are a recipe for disaster.
I really want to like this unit. I love the convenience that comes with the S-Air unit and wireless speakers. But in the end it's all about the sound. While I wasn't expecting a state of the art sound system for a sub $400 price tag, I expect better than this. I really cannot recommend this system. The sound is just really not worth it.
 Not Much Bump For Your BuckOct 23, 2009
This system is ok at best. For the asking price you would be better off choosing a different product. The wireless system is not very reliable. This set up simply can not hit the low notes.

While I have not yet installed this purchase I will in the next two weeks and wonder if anyone has any advice on this installation?

Easy setup , great soundOct 06, 2009
I bought this home theater after doing some research and reading all the positive reviews on this page.....
I had no problem setting everything up as shown in the user manual that came with the box. It took me over an hour and a half but the best part was that the whole setup worked without any problems whatsoever. I was replacing my Panasonic home theater which had given me too many problems in the past so I wasnt expecting the setup to be this smooth. The sound is great , the system looks sharp and the DVD player works great. I load all my netflix dvds in the dvd player at once so I dont have to keep replacing them when I am done.
I was also able to get my directv remote to work with the home theater. The only caveat is that you have to setup the audio and the dvd mode separately. But once the audio is setup, it works for any input ( tv, cable, av1,av2 etc. ) and I setup the dvd player on av2. So I am able to pretty much use 1 remote unless I am doing something specific ( like skipping discs ) in which case I have to use the Sony remote.
Having said that , here are the two things I am not happy with/ havent figured out yet.
1. I can hear the sound coming out of the rear speakers but its not loud enough. So the system setup using the mike worked but will require manual tuning to get them to be loud enough.
2. I was able to hook up my iphone into the DMPORT however, I can only hear audio and not video as the manual states. So no photos or videos from itunes can be played which would be a big step up!
Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase though.
 Great StereoSep 15, 2009
For the average joe this stereo more than delivers. Its simple color coded wires will make setup a breeze.
By the way, the stereo sounds great. It was cheap in price and offers enough features for an average stereo user.
