Customer Reviews
The Sony home cinema I received was well packaged and easy to unpack and set up. Using the supplied microphone I had a decent surround sound within the hour, just a few tweaks and I was happy (the sub was set far too high, as I suspect most will be to give new users a WOW factor)
The speakers are good looking, even my girlfriend was impressed, and the centre is small enough to plonk in front of the TV without blocking the screen. The other 4 are about a foot tall and slope back a few degrees.
Looped my Virgin media V+ box through the system so I can get superior sound when watching the TV. Despite reading numerous articles on the Internet about not being able to use HDMI cables to do this I managed it by following the easy set up guide and found I did not need an optical cable as mentioned in many articles.
The TV is a Sony as well so the TV volume now works the complete system volume.
The unit itself is quite wide at 17 inches (43cm) and only just fit in my rack. The front panel is steeply raked and as such would be difficult to read "head on" but is fine to read from above. Mine is on the bottom of my rack and I can easily read it from my normal sitting position.
Now to the sound. After coming from a "proper" home cinema I find it a touch lightweight, however, like most I imagine it is impossible to fit full size speakers in a normal living room and as such I can only recommend systems like these. House and wife friendly and a massive upgrade on TV sound.
.. We can change format to cinema,hall,3D,audio.movie etc to give the exact tone we require.
People have also mentioned the sound quality. I'm not sure what people are expecting from a unit in this products price range. I find the sound adequate atleast. Sure my Denon gives a much deeper sound, but it also costs alot more.
The only negative I can find is with the supplied hdmi cable. This unit plays 3D blu-rays, but you will need a high speed hdmi cable to view 3D movies on your 3D tv. Also, note to Sony, how hard would it of been to include wireless connectivity? You have to buy a dongle if you want to use this feature. A dongle you can only buy from Sony. Tut.
All in all a good performer.
Straight out of the box was simple set up.
Quality at the price is superb. Read more
