Really A Great Deal
Pros: Really Great Sound, Fully Featured, Great For Music, TV, FM Broadcasts, and of course DVD's
Cons: I can't think of any, I love everything about this system.
In the process of pricing out speakers, I stumbled across these Home Theatre in a Box systems. I was very skeptical I have been an audiophile for many years, my perspective has always been to buy expensive high quality components.
I read hundreds of positive reviews on this system, they are on the websites of on line sellers (Best Buy, Circuit City, etc.). I couldnnt resist trying it.
For me it was fairly easy to set up because I already had the wires in place. I hooked it up yesterday.
In short I am very, very impressed with this system. The digital effects are great, sound is really great, and it seems to do well from all sources. The small speakers are a plus because I now have a lot more free space in my living. And then when I think of how much I paid for it, I really love this system.
It's not perfect, as other reviews said you have to really turn the volume up high to get real volume, the volume control goes up to 65, you will probably be playing it mostly in the 40's and 50's to get the kind of sound you want. But the sound is plenty powerful and as loud as I could possibly want in an 11 x 20 living room.
I connected my DVD Player via coax, and my cable box via Optical cable. Great sound and effects. It sounds pretty good playing CD's on my analog output only CD Player. FM sounds pretty good too , the tuner is decent quality.
And finally believe it or not, my wife and I enjoy this system much more than we did our old one.
I reccommend this to anyone, on a budget, that wants to exoperience the full depth of digital audio and surround sound. It really is good, check it out.

Excellent from every aspect
Pros: A budget friendly home theater that won't tear your wallet. Excellent surround sound for the price. Gives you everything it promised
Cons: Wireless for the 4 small speakers would have been great.
It is very easy to install and at that price it won't leave you with a guilt either.
The only reason I gave it an 8 is because there is no wireless option and there's always room for improvement.

Really nice system for most needs.
Pros: Good sound clarity, excellent value.
Cons: Not super-powerful, though more than adequate for most people.
You can find better, no doubt, but for the price? That's a tall order.

Great sound, great price.
Pros: Excellent sound, great price for a Sony, all the decoding options you'll need with any player on the market today.
Cons: Slightly complicated remote control/menu system. Should go a little louder (but I may just be deaf).

I Found a GREAT SALE
Pros: Outstanding Sound!!!
Cons: Short speaker wire
Thank you to all of the people who take time to review products. I spent days researching before I chose this Sony product and you really helped me make up my mind. I already have a good DVD player, so I didn't want to pay for another one--most box systems include one. I also had an opportunity to listen to this unit at Fry's and was shocked at the quality of sound. Unless you listen to your music at deafening levels, the 600 watts will be plenty for you. I don't even turn mine up all the way, but when I tried it, the speakers really delivered! This system is easy to set up, so don't be taken back by the people who said that the directions were confusing. If you can hook up speakers to a receiver, you can set this up. Everything on the unit is clearly labeled. The speaker wires are cheap, but they seem to do the job. You really can't go wrong with this unit. Enjoy!
Just bought it on sale at Fry's for $149. Excellent sound quality and price. Easy set-up.
