I have this item and I cannot believe how good it is. The main amp/dvd unit is unbelievably well made, it is really heavy with a proper aluminuim top and bottom. The front speakers are very loud despite being small, and the sub woofer will shake plaster off walls its so good. The unit comes with very easy "plug and play" speaker leads and extension pieces can be bought seperately. The DVD player is the usual Sony quality and will play dvd copies and even DIVx's off the internet. The back of the unit has a huge range of connectors with scarts, phono, and digital inputs. Really for the price you cannot go wrong. Sony do a Dav-x1v which has a dvd multichanger but was priced at £699 in the Sony centre, This is £400 cheaper and sounds every bit as good!
