5.0 out of 5 stars great value cinema system, 17 Sep 2007

By	David J. Topping (Manchester UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is exactly the same model as the Sony HTSF1100 - except this doenst include the 4 x speaker stands for your front and surround speakers ( I aleady have stands so opted to save �50 and buy this model ) . So this is a better option of youve already forked out money on stands and are upgrading your cinema system to HDMI compliant .
This has 2 x HDMI in , 1 x HDMI out which is the main reason I bought it - no more horrible bulky scart leads ! Plus if I decide to upgrade to Blu ray there are enough inputs - so its fairly future safe . The only strange thing is that the HDMI sockets in only carries video so you have to use the digital coax cable ( included ) and buy a an optical lead ( �10 ) for the digital audio - seems odd the HDMI doesnt carry audio but its no real problem - just a bit more messy with the extra cables but its all explained clearly and perfectly in the manual .
I run my XBOX 360 , SKY HD and HDMI DVD player all through the system through the 3 digital inputs and Im extremely pleased ! as with all surround sytems is a bit time consuming to set up but really easy , theres a test to check all speakers are working , auto calibration , great sound quality , great looks ( black to match the SKY HD BOX ! ) and lots of options to tweak the sound - Great value system - I paid well under �200 for this ... Its everything you would expect from SONY and more ! recommended

4.0 out of 5 stars Descreetly powerful, 3 Oct 2007

By	S. Hastewell "stephendhastewell" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Firstly a clarification, the HT SS1100/HT SF1100 does carry sound over HDMI, contrary to previous reviews. This could have potentially changed a buyer's decision such as it did me. This is after all a surround sound amplifier.
Having spent many an hour gazing at the specs and pictures and reviews, I finally went for this system purely because I could get hold of Samsung's HT-AS710. I'm glad of this fact as Sony's DM port accessories will prove very useful, including the sexy looking Wireless module that allows you to control streamed music from your PC. Equally useful is the optional Bluetooth adapter that allows streaming over AD2P from your mobile.
For this kind of money the sound quality is as to be expected. Clear mid tones and deep stomach churning bass brings films and games the sonic massage they need. Marantz it isn't, but if I had the cash for a system like that I wouldn't be sitting in my living room watching DVDs. The subtle styling of the head unit blends nicely with your flat screen tv, as it should and the small satellite speakers provide more mounting options than the floor standing counterparts of the HT SF1100 and cost less, so you can spend the extra �50 on a star wars box set and watch the pod race over and over again.
One last plus is the DCAC feature which is a massive bonus. No time consuming fiddling and repositioning of speakers and endless level tweaking to get the perfect surround sound experience. Just stick the included microphone where you sit and let the system do the rest. Perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent system from Sony, 31 Oct 2007

By	P. Compton (Worcestershire, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had this system bought for me as a birthday present by my parents. I have a very good Sond DVD player and all of the surround sound systems seemed to have a built in DVD player and a lack of additional audio inputs.

Having gone to my local retailer to ask advice as to the best system to enable inputs from my VCR, SKY HD, DVD player and laptop this one had just come on to the market.

The system is very easy to use, and the Auto Calibration microphone makes setting up the volume levels very easy especially if the configuration of your furniture does not allow the usual sony diagram of how you should place your speakers.

I use my DVD player to play my audio CD's through the system, with the coaxial connection it is crystal clear and the quality is outstanding. I connect my laptop through one of the extra AV inputs for my MP3's and you wouldn't believe how it sounds. If you have broadband and listen to radio over the internet you cannot hear distortion and its just as good as DAB.

The radio tuner is a welcome addition, considering the radio reception is very poor where I live the small aerial lead supplied is very good at picking up all local and national stations and with clear crisp quality while my stand alone sony stereo strugles to do so.

The HDMI switching works very well as long as you connect the sound separately to get the full 5.1 on sky. Not sure why Sony didnt configure it to have the sound taken from the HDMI lead, but i'm not bothered as the Optical connector connected to my Sky box makes all channels (5.1 or Not) sound great.

Over all I cannot fault this system and highly recommend it to anyone who wants a surround system without an integrated DVD player. Outstanding value for money. Well Done Sony!
