Sony BRAVIA DAV-HDX589W 5.1-Channel Theater System (Black)

I have a sony bravia and heard this was easy set-up. It really was, color coded and everything. Works well, enhances movies, like the unit overall.

Easy to setup right out of the box and sound is great, a great starter home audio system.

I found that the setup was easy with the built in software. I use it with a Bravia Flat Screen TV and use the fiber cable from the TV to the amp. The remote control does not intergrate well with the TV and the TV remote does not integrate well with the sound system. Add to the mix a Comcast cable box remote and it takes some sleuthing work to figure out how to make the Comcast remote turn both the TV and Sound system on/off and to change channels and adjust the sound. The key is to figure out how to program the Aux channel on the Comcast remote on a key by key basis to control the sound system.

No complaints about the sound quality. The wireless rear speakers do not interfere nor are they interfered with by other wireless devices in the house.

The system offers very clean crisp sound quality. I feel the value I got for the money is excellent. The only drawbacks were 1.) It took a couple of trys to get the rear wireless speakers communicating with the front. 2.) The box advertises a "sync" feature with Sony tv's that I apparently can't find a use for.
The first movie I put in after I got it hooked up properly was "Indepnedence Day". It was actually BETTER than in the movies..my couch is waaay more comfortable and the floors aren't sticky!

This system provides an excellent surround effect. The only downside to it is it doesn't go as loud as previous systems I've had, but you will realize that it goes loud enough to make your room sound like a theatre.
