Summary: Excellent System
Review: All i can really say for this system is Oh My God! After it took me awhile to figure things out like the initial setup which still needs some work, i got it working with my new DVD recoder and i was blown away, my ears were ringing and house was shaking...just kidding, but it was lound and sounded wonderful, so much better than my old audiovox crap. Excellent deal for the money and i am truly happy. I have been waiting along time to replace my old system, so glad i did. I did check alot of reviews and there weren't many unhappy people. I am truly impressed. Remote is hard to figure out so i did it from the reciever, no big deal. so look no futher, this is a great unit.

Summary: Again, sony surpasses!
Review: At first I thought that this sytem would'nt meet my audphile demands, but it proved me wrong. I got it for only ... and it is awesome! The receiver has 500 watts, and very useful options like prologic II and its jaw-dropping cinema ex sounds. Te satallites deliver the rich sound you expecet from sony, and the sub is very clean and powerful. I live in a large 2-story house, and my parents complain that the whole house is shaking!If you want audiophile sound for only ..., this is the #1 pick!

Summary: Easy to setup and worth your money
Review: I bought this home theater system nearly a week ago and arrived at my home at around 9:30 with this system in my hands.At 10:30 I was watching a movie with it. It was so easy to set-up. Also it produces great sound. I got a DVD player for my birthday and didn't want to spend more money to get a dvd player with my system. This product fit me well.

Summary: great for a first system
Review: I have been wanting a home theater system for a long time and this one was a great first choice. The instructions take a little longer to digest through than I thought they would, but within 2 hours everything was set up, adjusted and I was watching a dvd. Great for someone who already has a dvd player they like and only needs the basic system. I live in an apartment and the sound is fantastic.

Summary: Great Complete System for the Price
Review: I have never had anything but the audio coming from the stereo speakers on my TV, and I was blown away the first time I heard this system. I bought this system brand new off of eBay for $250 total in late February 2004 and have been completely satisfied since.I like to relax in my room now and crank that sub all the way up untill my windows rattle and the pictures on the wall shake. It did take me a couple hours to get set-up becuase I went crazy in getting everything just perfect in the settings. This system can get as loud as you'd want for a small to medium sized room.
One of the main reasons I got this was for Pro Logic II decoding on my Gamecube games, and Wow it's awesome to hear on games that support it. But the real treat comes when watching DVDs in Digital or DTS. For the first time I experienced true surround in my room and it was incredible. I recommend trying Saving Private Ryan DVD in the first beach-landing scene with the bass cranked all the way up to feel the explosions. The receiver is pretty straight-forward and easy to use if you read the manual first. Some of the settings don't change the overall sound that much. I use different modes when I am listening to sound from different equipment... Audio CDs - Dolby Pro Logic II MUS mode
DVD's - CSTEX B Movie mode
Gamecube/Radio - Dolby Pro Logic II MOV mode Overall an excellent budget system (A Sony too!). I recommend.

Summary: One of the best
Review: I have two of these. One is a model that is no longer availible and the other is the current model. I boughtthe first to replace a sony rack system that i had for about ten years. I would still be useing it if lighting had not burned it beyond repair. I tried many through a rental company and found that thy didn't met the quality that i had become acustomed to. when I found this system, it once again made me ask the question, is that dog barking outside or on the tv? The only thing that i had a complant about was that I had a DVD and Sat PVR and both had digital audio outs. The older version only had the one in with the choice of either optical or coaxial. This one has them seperated between video 2 and video 3. I love it now. I still use them both.

Summary: Great Sound! Great size! Instructions were....ummm
Review: I think the sound on this system is well worth what you pay for. I am very pleased with the size of the stereo, considering I live in a very small apartment. I did however, have problems with the instructions being unclear and hard to follow. The remote is just way too confusing to use as a universal remote but other than that I highly recommend this system to first time buyers!

Summary: I have not purchased this product yet
Review: I was looking at this product in stores, and if you didn't know you can stick a speaker cable in the intenna slot to use it as an intenna. when i was checking it out..i also noticed nothing came out of the rear speakers...then i noticed that you can adjust the "distance" you are from the speaker.. this allows the system to adjust the volume accordingly..so if the front are 5 feet away and the back are 10 feet away, but the center and sub are 2 feet away, you will still hear SURROUND...its really cool, and i can't wait to buy them..I have just over 200 and i need the differance..I don't live in an apartment, and im not some punk ruch kid, but i do have to save my allowance to buy anything...and i can't wait to play Battlefield and hear the Airplanes fly overhead and im shooting the flak with the pouning shells from the subwoofer

Summary: Not Bad!
Review: I'm a pretty picky person when it comes to sound systems. However, with a family, I can't afford to spend a lot on a "great" sound system. I was a little skeptical at first but after I started using this sytem...I was pretty happy.
I did replace the 24 guage wire with 16 guage wire for all the speakers and even added a nice subwoofer cable. Makes all the difference in the world.
Nice Starter Unit!!!

Summary: Can't Beat This For The Price!
Review: I'm very picky with my recommendations, but this system is one you can't beat for the price. I loved the fact that you can get this without a DVD player, for those who already have one seperately. You'll hear movies and music in a way you never have before. Get ready to be blown away.
