 REAL glad I bought this system. December 11, 2007
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
I bought this system to replace my 7 year old dream system and I am real glad that I did. I originally thought about a 2.1 channel system in order to eliminate the rear wires, but none of them really wowed me. After reading every review I could find, I decided to purchase a 5.1 and do it right. I ordered it from amazon.com and it was shipped for free and arrived in a few days. (Ordered it on a Thursday and it arrived on Tuesday)This system is easy to assemble(took me an hour taking my time) It also looks great and most importantly, sounds awesome.
Great Home Theater System! But Beware on Wireless April 9, 2008
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
Bought this home theater a few months ago, and this is a great system. When I purchased the system, I wanted the wireless kit for the rear speakers. (So that I didn't have wires running across the living room floor) I was told that any of the wireless systems would work. WRONG! Found out that the Sony system has "proprietary" plugs at the end of the speaker wires and would only fit in the Sony Wireless kit for Rear Speakers. Sure the other systems would work, but you have to snip the plugs off the end of the speaker wires, and this voids your Sony warranty. Just a "heads up" for anyone thinking of buying this home theater.
Great sound...great receiver...great price!!!! February 5, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
The sound quality is exceptional. I love the multi-function receiver. I can easily switch between tv, dvd, cd, ipod and radio...and I love the ability to pre-program my favorite radio stations. This was definitely the best product for the money. After using it for a month now...I am still totally impressed.
I will give this HTIB a 5 out of 5 January 3, 2008

I don't know exactly where to start. I don't usually write review on things I buy but after setting this system up I thought it was only right that I did.
Positves:
1. Easy to set-up...I wanted to do it just right so it took me about 45-60mins to get everything ready...the time flies because it was kinda fun and its really easy to do.
2. Once you get it set up and want to watch a DVD you won't be dissapointed with the sound quality I can almost guarantee... I have a 1 bedroom apartment and it fills the entire place with sound...I was worried because the sound only goes up to 30 and 0-18 doesn't do much in terms of wowing you...but I find that anyhthing more that 23/24 is abit much and may bring complaints from the neightbors. (Great for action movies...I am now and Action movie junkie)
3. For the cost I think its a pretty good deal and they throw in the Ipod acessory as well
Negatives
1. OK why not send me the audio/video cables...I was a bit bummed about that...got the thing set up and had to run out to buy that cable...but I got the system as gift so $13 bucks for this terrific sound not really a downside but why not throw them in for free instead of the ipod accessory
2. I am not the most electronically savvy person so it took me awhile to get it so that the sound when watching regular TV comes through the speakers...but apparently you need to select TV sound to come from external speakers/ cancel the internal TV speakers....worked almost like magic.
3. The antenna for the FM has to be in front of the system and not neat tucked away behind your tv or you get some wierd interfernce. After I moved the antenna I got good reception.
So with all that said I LOVE IT.
Great Sound, Easy Set-up January 15, 2008

I am more than impressed with this system. For a fairly non-technical person, the set-up was extremely easy. The included microphone to optimize the sound with your speaker arrangement really impressed me after hearing about friends who spent hours optimizing their system.
The sound I get from the iPod dock is much better than I expected and I was pleasantly surprised to see that I could control my iPod using the remote.
On top of the excellent performance, the system itself is very sleek looking. I had a new year's eve party after getting the system for Christmas and almost every guest commented on how great it looks.
