 disappointed September 27, 2002

This product is a disappointment. Not only does it lack the power to promote adequate sound quality, after a few months the DVD player will stop recognizing that there is a disc in there. Unfortunately, it most likely will occur in the middle of a movie. Also, when this player gets warm after an hour of continuous use it will cease to play and the disc will begin to skip. This product great in theory, terrible in application.
 Could be Better November 19, 2002

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.
 Good All in One System July 5, 2002

This is a great system, the name says it all. SONY! You get what you pay for with this system. The name and quality of Sony. Great Sound, and even greater picture when you use the Component Video to the TV. The only downside with this model and all of the Sony All in One units is the over-heating issue. Please keep it in an open area, I have mine in my Sony stand and I think it might burn my house down. But I doubt that will happen. But still, 5 disc DVD, lots of power, and lots of Bass. Great Home Theatre Experience !! A+ to Sony and Japan!! Mr. Roboto would be proud :)
A HOT SYSTEM September 27, 2002

Being a SONY fan, I was happy to see this system at a price I could afford. There is plenty of speaker wire, so placement of speakers is not a problem. The sound is great, and the AM/FM stereo capability is a nice added feature as is the ability to play CD's. What does bother me is the amount of heat generated by the unit. Playing a 2 disk movie, such as Harry Potter, got the unit smoking hot. I had to install it on a sliding tray and leave the door open on my entertainment system just to keep it cool. In fact I'm considering the installation of a cooling fan at the back of the equipment rack. Other than the heat, it seems to be a great deal.
Not a Quality Product November 1, 2002

I got this system a couple of months ago and already I've had numerous problems. First, the DVD drawer occasionally gets stuck and sometimes will not work at all. I have to reset the system to get it to work. Even then it will only be good for a few more opens and closes before it jams up again.
Second, it will not play some DVDs. It will start them, but once it gets to the main menu, it says "Program play of title # (weyve seen 4, 10, 20, 33, etc.) prohibited now" and stops the disc. I've found a way to get around this on some DVDs, but it still creates great frustration, which is the opposite of what I want when I watch a movie.
Quite frankly I would expect higher quality than this from Sony. I am going to take this system in to have it looked at, but I am regretting getting it in the first place.
However, I should say that when the system is working the sound is great! Hence, the reason for two stars instead of one.
