 Great product for great price May 16, 2010

I bought it last month and I am really stunned by the quality of the pictures. I thought it will display highest quality pictures for blu-ray discs but the DVD quality is also extremely good. Surrond sound installation with the wireless speakers is a breeze and they work pretty good. OVerall its a very good product for the money.
 Great Quality, lacks Netflix May 13, 2010

Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase. Very easy to use and setup. I did have a problem with not getting 1080p quality picture but that turned out to be a bad HDMI cable (don't ever let anyone tell you all HDMI cables are equal, I used to belive that).
Rear speakers work and sound great.
The only thing that keeps it from getting five stars with me is it's lack of streaming capability with the internet (Netflix, Pandora radio, etc...). So if that is not an issue with you.. then 5 stars. But overall happy.
Easy setup, great sound, and excellent wireless speakers. May 3, 2010

I have been using this system for about a year now and have been very pleased. Every once in awhile I still find myself looking in the direction of the speakers thinking a sound was coming from the living and not the speakers.
Having AT&T U-Verse I was concerned that the wireless speakers would interfere with the U-Verse system but this was not the case. Worked perfectly on the default setting. It is very easy to setup for your cable system as well. This system does include a FM antenna wire that works great for me even stuffed behind the receiver. The system does include a microphone that helps automatically calibrate your system based on the size of the room and the seating position. When I moved from an apartment into a new home I forgot to re-calibrate for several months, but once I did there was a clear sound improvement.
Shopped around a lot before purchasing this and couldn't find another system comparable in price or quality with wireless rear speakers. If this is your first system I recommend purchasing The Dark Knight (+ BD Live) [Blu-ray] as your first one! Even if you own it on DVD (as I did) the difference is amazing and seems like a different movie.
 CLOSED SYSTEM! April 23, 2010

you can only plug in a regular sound input into this device. So if you have a playstation or xbox or any other device that has the ability to transmit surround sound this unit will do you no good. Because you can't plug in those devices. You can only plug them in w/ the right and left plug-ins which does not carry the surround sound. This unit does not have an hdmi sound input for example. Very frustrating for me that I could not do that. I will not return the unit bc its too big of a hassle to repack and send back etc and the sound isn't bad. But I would not have bought this unit if I had known that I couldn't patch in anything more than 2-speaker sound.
great heart beat sound with 7.1 audio amp and crisp clarity, its a dream sony bluray theater April 19, 2010
Chris (Central City, KY)
This is the best video system I got, I think this was the last make of any theater system because nothing can be better then this blu-ray quality theater.
Sound : clear crisp with digital mastered feeling sound, I can feel the beats to the heart, sub-woofer does a great job, even if I play 2.1 audio converted discs it gives me 7.1 audio in this system which is enough sound for any human being to listen.
Video Quality : Unbelievable for me, I wanna thank you to all the technician to provide us this great quality player. This blu-ray player plays dvd's like blu-ray quality which is super HD with Super HD sound. I recommend this theater to the whole world who wants theater in their home.
I have all kinds of home theater at all my work places and 2 homes such as sound-bar, dvd theater, compact audio HiFi system, system in my car, my wireless ear headphones, groove bass systems all of this but this system is the best compare to any of the systems I listed above.
I am surprised and proud feeling by having this system.
