 "Below Par....Grossly disappointing" 2009-02-09
By Saurabh Agarwal (San Diego)
I bought it on the labor day sale at [...] for a neat discount. Used it for 2 weeks and then packed it and its in storage right now. Replaced it with Onkyo S5100. Wanted to send it back after 3 days, got a RMA too but then planned to gift it to my parents with 5 speakers from other company because my parents are not audiophiles at all.



Features I Loved: I loved the subwoofer. Compact but very nice and punchy bass, looks good too.



Features I felt Good: 5 disk DVD changer is handy in that you donot have to stand up to change disks. Amplifier seems to output decent power.



Average Features: 1080p upscaling very average. I have a oppo-980H which is far better.Remote is OK.



Bad Features:

1. The system works on 48KHz Signal. It is surprising that when most other companies are pushing almost to 192KHz signal, this top of the Sony Line(Including HDX275, 279, 576 etc etc). My sound card is at least an order magnitude clearer.



2. Horrible speakers, I have no words to emphasis this. Not even worth 10$ for all five of them. I threw them to make space. Sounded hollow and do not know why they have a port(Bass reflex). Its a joke that these are sold as full range as they have only 2.5" drivers which produce only some below average midrange, forget anything else. About Audio power, I think Sony missed decimals in all the figures. 84W should have been 8.4W



3. Proprietary connectors. Why?? No idea!!!! Cheap plastic. If one breaks, you will have to call sony and considering that the warranty is only one year, you know what you can run into. Wiring is too cheap.



4. S-Air is a joke too. First of all, Let me confess that I do not believe in wireless audio connector for fidelity and interference . But still thought can make a use of it in the bathroom, but it the signal is far from steady even when separated by a thin 1 cm wooden wall. The walls in my apartment are cheap but still it does not work and yes it will not give you loud sound just may be a total of 10W and why somebody will use it in the same room as the Home theater might be a stupid question.



5. False information about Wireless technology. This system is NOT supposed to have wireless rear speakers. Rear speakers need to be wired. Its called wireless because it comes with the SA unit which is not more than a over hyped FM-Radio set (or if you know, not even that as it needs to communicate with the central unit for radio too)



6. Cheap Ipod stand.



7. Central Unit has only 2 digital inputs and the preference for inputs is automatic.



Most of this should also be true for DAVHDX279 and DAVHDX576W as they come with the same central unit, speakers and subwoofer. DAVHDX279 may have wireless speakers which is a plus point and DAVHDX576 is DAVHDX279 with the same SA unit I talked above.

 "sony with samsung tv" 2009-01-16
By Tom Armstrong (California)
Read the description and it sounded great to have wireless audio in separate rooms from one source. As this system was intended to install directly with new Sony TV, systems compatibility wasn't questioned. TV couldn't be delivered - out of stock - and was 'upgraded' to ~better Samsung model. System sounds great, but all these speakers are 'hard wired' to source. Wireless receiver module is included, but one needs to buy other wireless compatible speakers to augment this system for the main room or for other rooms. So, for a true surround sound system out of the box, it's not wireless. You still need to run wire, drill holes, crawl the attic or under-floor, etc. to install the basic system. Other rooms can get wireless speaker/s, but you gotta buy them. If it stated that this system couldn't operate all speakers provided wirelessly, I would have continued looking. Doesn't really tell you this and the photo doesn't show a bunch of dangly wires protruding out the back, but that's marketing for you. Still, this cranks the living room of my small house and sounds better that the new TV speakers alone but still, it's not as nice as my Onkyo receiver and two powerful in-wall speakers and one wired sub from an install 5 years ago. You can feel the walls and floor vibrating. Could of just as easily crawled the attic and installed a few more speakers and connected to the existing system. Still, I didn't send it back, did I?

 "The little HTIB that could..." 2008-07-27
By D. White
Installed this yesterday w/a new Sony Bravia 46" LCD TV.



The TV and the receiver interface pretty well...out of the box they can "talk" to each other if connected via HDMI and optical out from the TV to the receiver, and the changing inputs on the TV will make appropriate changes to the audio output selected. There is an option to tell the Sony TV remote which AV/Receiver you are using, so that it can do double duty. So now I can turn both the TV and the reciever on/off with one button, choose a video input and the audio is switched automatically, etc. (The Sony feature is called something like "HDMI Sync.")



The sound of the unit is much better than I expected. It's not going to make an audiophile give up their high-end systems, and can't match the setup in my main room, but it is going to be more than adequate for most listeners and for folks looking for a compact system. It has enough power to fill a big room nicely with a big sound, and the subwoofer is powerful enough to rattle your walls and windows. :)



It comes with a nice feature...a microphone you attach to the receiver and then set in the middle of the room. The receiver then automatically tunes the speaker levels to the appropriate level. I haven't done that yet (have to get the rear surrounds hung), but if it works OK it will be a nice feature.



The iPod dock included only supports audio...a big disappointment. Why they stopped at audio is hard to understand...iPod video is at least as important now as audio playback. Oh well...



The included wireless speaker seems like a solution in search of a problem we don't have. Allows listening to the audio playing on the receiver in different rooms (or outside).

We're really not sure if we'll use it or not...we have radios pretty much anywhere we want to listen to the radio, and don't see any need to hear the TV from another room where I can't see the TV.



This is an all-plastic speaker set...you won't find any fabric or wood here, but they still look nice and don't feel cheap.



Overall I'd say this is a good system with a nice sound. Paired w/a Sony Bravia TV it makes a nice, easy to use combination.

 "Not Much Contribution from Rear Speakers" 2008-07-25
By S. Borden (North Royalton, OH)
Sound is GREAT through Audio-Tech headphones, but the rear surround speakers produce little sound, almost imperceptible in most situations, and there is NO CONTROL to bring up the volume and balance the sound to my ear from the different speakers like my old Panasonic had. Spending the $50 more to get capability for surround wireless in the future is a rip off. I recommend just get the plain wired, or pay the extra for the surround speaker in the wireless. Programs with my new Panasonic plasma just fine. Good features: 5-disk tray, HDMI ready, automatically lowers the sound level to low on shutdown so you are not blasted out of the room when next turning it on.
