Product Description:
The concept of home-theater is very enticing. Sony has aligned this sound system to be compatible with their popular Bravia widescreen TV line. Yet, it will still deliver fine performance with most other HDTV sets on the market. As a leader in products with HDMI connectivity, Sony has created BRAVIA Theater Sync to go beyond simple audio and video transmission. When combined with a select number of BRAVIA Televisions and other Sony audio and video products, in addition to audio and video transmission, control functions will be transmitted via the HDMI cable. With ?One Touch Play,? operations that took several steps have been reduced to one. Press the PLAY button on the remote, watch the audio and/or the video component(s) turn on with the BRAVIA and switch to correct input. This model also includes an iPod dock for playthrough. HDMI - Reads the data on a standard DVD at 480P and maximizes the video resolution to best fit your HDMI compatible TV at up to 720p or 1080i XM Connect-and-Play Ready A World of digital radio is at your fingertips. Connect the optional Connect-and-Play antenna, sign up for XM service (subscription rate required) and enjoy the variety of digital radio with superior sound quality Digital Media Port (DMP) offers compatibility with various accessories which will include a PC Client device, Bluetooth receiver and Audio Docking Stations compatible with Network Walkman(R) and iPod products. Sony’s DIGITAL MEDIA PORT grants access, provides control and integrates your portable music into a traditional home theater system iPod is not included

Customer Reviews

Great system by R. L. Shagon
I love the system. I’m not the best at hooking up systems like this but I got it done in a reasonable amount of time. It sounds great. I don’t understand the review about “needs more bass”. My wife and I watched “American Gangster” last night and we had to back off on the bass. It was shaking the house. It’s not a powered subwoofer like my last system yet the bass is far superior. More importantly, when we watch a film we can really understand the conversations. There is a lot less “what did he say?” Also, no one could touch Amazon’s price.

Nice unit but could use more Bass by Mr. Richard J. Harper Jr.
This is a really nice unit except that it lacks some deeper bass. I have a Sonly 46″ XBR LCD and it works perfect with the Theatre sync button. You have to turn the unit way up to get a good sound but again if it had more bass it would be a perfect system. I see these units at Sears for $499 so the price is good here. Can’t beat it.

Great Home Theater System! But Beware on Wireless by M. Utz
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 bang for your buck!! by wall mount
I reseached for a while before deciding on this unit for our TV room and I haven’t been disappointed. Sound is great and HDMI to TV makes for awesome movie watching in surround sound. Connectivity is a drawback in terms of there not being enough higher end connections if having game systems and such..but worked for me. Only other hurdle was rear speakers which come with special Sony connectors to the back of the unit. I had already installed speaker wire into the wall before buying the system which meant I had to soder/heat shrink to be able to use connectors. Worked out great.
