Sony Home Theater System
BRAVIA DAV-DZ170 








Excellent Sound Quality

Pros: Excellent surround sound, excellent bass and treble, very elegant, great value.
Cons: Wish it had 2 digital coaxial inputs
First of all, I diasgree with the reviewer below because this domicile playhouse organization DOES save the settings. I unplugged diggings for 3 age and when I plugged it back in the position were saved. The sound caliber is unreal for a $199 domicile playhouse system. Before this system, I bought the $299 Sony HT-SS370 which is supposed to be better than this one but is nowhere near close to the importance this one offers. The subwoofer is insanely powerful you wouldn't believe is non-powered. Your walls and your neighbors' testaments shake, guaranteed. As far as the small loudspeaker is concerned, they provide clean crisp sound quality. Watching sports, specially football in 5.1 is simply beautiful with this domicile playhouse procedure as you tins hear all the sounds from the group and from the players, and the sound when guarding movies is great you'll love it. Overall excellent playhouse procedure for the price.

Great Value and Product

Pros: Ease of use, Sound quality
Cons: Surrounds are wired connection
The orderliness is not chock full of customizable features but it gets the post done with fantastic sound. Would not consider myself an Audiophile by any way but I do enjoy tuition sound so not owning a fully customizable produces interface is penalty by me. Would like to have a separate command on the sub to bring it down a dent since I have a very small stronghold room. I did poster a adult distinction by using an actual tripod for the adjusting mic during the position up routine as opposed to simply scene the mic on the lounge round closely corncob level. Am jogging the cablegram and PS3 through the TV via HDMI then sound from TV to this situation via optical cable. Quality is great. Do notice the DAV-DZ170 example is not a BluRay player. (Seriously, BlueRay should be prototype gift by now.) Not a big matter for me since I have the PS3 but is something I did not sketch pre-purchase as I was simply observing for a sound procedure upgrade from my old analog Pioneer receiver. Has explanation for iPod relation and the remote command tins command the iPod, however, the receptor does not exhibit the iPod screen info out to the TV which is a skosh disappointing. Perhaps I have to countenance deeper into the position on this.... Overall a great worth for the expense point.
