Could Be Better
Pros: Fansactic voice,Looks very classy,Easy to assemble
Cons: Very slow load up, XBR screen looks very tacky.
I bought this home theater system in a combo deal with the Sony bravia W series TV for 1100 $ from best buy in September. It has very good sound and its very easy to use but the start up to watch a movie TAKES FOREVEEEERERRRR. The screen comes up and just sits there for a few seconds. May be it is just me but from my past experiences after hitting the open tray key the tray OPENS!This one just sits there for a little bit and then it opens. Also the XBR screen to navigate looks like was designed by a 5 year old. Compared to the PS# and the TV itself that has an XBR navigation it looks like CR*P.All in all a very good system in a combo deal but Sony could have worked a bit on it before putting it out in the market.Also the set up for the whole wireless surround sound will cost you about 200 $ extra. Thanks a lot $ONY.I guess ripping people off is what it is best at.

Movie theater experience in your home!
Pros: Excellent quality, picture, and sound. iPod dock is great for parties!
Cons: No supplied HDMI cables
I purchased this unit to pair up with my new 52" SONY Bravia HDTV. I originally had another Blu Ray home theater but I was not satisfied with the wireless sorround speakers, so I ended up returning that one to my retailer. First of all, I ordered this online the day it was released and I received it in 4 business days. I was very pleased with the purchasing experience, how fast I received my system, and the SONY representative that assisted me in placing my order. Secondly, the setup is so simple and fast that when I was done, I had to double check myself to make sure I connected everything! After giving it a "test run" with about 10 minutes of my Transformers DVD (which is a standard DVD and was upconverted to near HD quality),I was blown away at how great this system works. It is so simple to navigate through and adjust the sound to my preference. The picture is amazing and the sound through all the speakers is crystal clear. Bring on the football season! GO COWBOYS!
