    "Look no further. This Sony is truely a "Dream""

    by waltnich on April 5, 2005

    Pros: Easy setup, subperb sound, excellent value.

    Cons: Lots of great controls on the remote. But Many Only Work with Sony TV.

    Summary: I went for the HD package from DirecTV for my new 42" Samsung Plasma. I just wasn't going to spend one more dollar, on anything, period.
    Then I realized that my Samsung Surround Sound wasn't true Surround Sound. I needed a sound system that takes a fiber optic connection from my HD receiver. I wasn't excited about that. I went online to see what options I had, and ended up deciding to try this all-in-one system.
    I went on e-bay and got an exceptional buy from an e-bay store.
    The system is every bit as good as any component system as far as my ears can tell and there's no gaggle of controls to fiddle with to get the sound just perfect. It sounds perfect right out of the box.

    A few months after purchase I inadvertantly left a DVD in the machine and moved it without taking care to keep it flat. When I went to retrieve the DVD the tray became jamed. I looked up the warranty instructions and returned the unit to Sony. A week later I received a complete new system. No questions. That easy.

    I should take off a half point with those propriatory controls on the remote, but what the heck, if that's all I can find wrong . . .

    Well, I had to move all my components cause my HiDef TIVO failed, and I moved my Sony DAV-FR9 with a DVD in it !! Door jammed and I couldn't get it to open. I gave it to Sony for repair and within one week I received a Brand New unit by UPS.
    That's Service !!!
