Unless you have a Sony TV don’t purchase this item. Upon following the complicated directions on setting the system up, the stupid system would only work when playing a dvd. There was no sound from any of the speakers when trying to watch TV, listen to music or the tuner. Calling Sony support was no help. The first customer service rep proceeded to yell and scream on the phone. He also made me hook up the system to the cable box which caused the system not to work when playing a dvd and told me i would have to switch the audio cables(which are not included) back and forth depending on what i wanted to do (watch tv, listen to music etc.) The second guy didn’t even know how to hook it up at all. The guys at the Sony Style store have no idea either. I will be returning the product. Don’t buy it…it’s a waste of money and precious time.

For $220 it is an okay product, but it is not adequate for use with newer HD televisions. It has a fixed audio level input from the TV which means the volume of all TV programs has to be controlled using the SONY remote, NOT the TV remote. This type of design should NEVER have been used for a home theater system.
The 5 DVD system is archaic.

This thing is great! The upconversion on the DVD player is fantastic!Easy to hookup. Klunky menu, but once you figure it out you can control all aspects of video, sound, etc.
