Summary: Could be Better
Review: I purchased this system because of my prior excellent experience with Sony products. I was also influenced by the fact that, unlike Bose systems, proprietary wiring is not required. I had the speakers installed by an experienced electronics technician, and the system initially worked well. I commend the sound quality, but the volume/power needs to be stronger for some DVD/CD selections. After viewing about 12 DVD movies, the sound stopped working entirely, and this was just after the warranty ended. It had no sound for the receiver, DVDs, or CDs. I contacted Sony, and the cost of repair is $[money] For a $[money] system, this seems excessive. I'm still comtemplating these repair costs, but it may be necessary to avoid a [money] debacle. I'm definately taking another look at Sony quality.

Summary: Works great with some complications
Review: I really like the system, expecially when I play HD into my DLP projector. I just had a problem with some DVDs not being playable, getting the message "program play of title xx prohibited" (where "xx" is some track on the DVD). What a pain! I don't know where the problem came from, but I think it may have been my kids pushing buttons on the remote. To restore playing capability, all I had to do was turn off the "Repeat" mode by hitting the "CLEAR" button on the remote.

Summary: Sony came through
Review: I recently reviewed this system and noted my positive experiences as well as the fact that sound to the speakers failed just after the warranty period ended. I returned it to Sony for repairs, but when I received it from Sony's Repair Center, it had the same problem. With my second complaint to Sony, they replaced the unit with a newer and more powerful system. This seemed very fair to me, and my faith in Sony is restored.

Review: I too have had the "Program play of title xx prohibited now" error and want to thank techiemcd for posting the review that contains the fix, since I couldn't find that info anywhere else. Thanks again, techiemcd! Other than that, I love the size and sound.

Summary: Sony got it right
Review: I'm not an audiophile, but I was blown away with the improvement of the sound quality of my whole system. I also appreciated the fact that Sony thought about making this easy to use for the whole family. The remote is well laid out and I particularly like the arrangement of the main functions right on the top edge which is exactly where I can see them in my cabinet- no more crawling on the floor to hit tiny buttons behind some cheesy door. Thanks Sony- you continue to impress me.

Summary: OK...for a while
Review: I've had this system for about 15 months and it worked great until the last month. Now it won't play my DVD's. In perusing other peoples' reviews, poor longevity and quality seems to be a problem with these Dream Systems. I'd stay away.

Summary: This system has a serious problem with the dvd stacker
Review: Its been 7 months since I purchased this unit, One day it refused to open the dvd disc drive, All my rented DVD's were inside the player. I had to open and the cover and manually remove the DVD's to avoid the late fees. Once I removed the dvd'd it started working again. This problem happened thrice. As soon as I remove the disks it works. When it works the sound is good. I never expected Sony to build such a bad product. Looks like many have experienced the same problem.
