Compact, Attractive, Excellent Picture and SoundJanuary 5, 2009
Pros: Clear Sound, Easy To Setup, Picture quality, Thundering Bass, Wireless rear speakers. Cons: The main unit itself is bit heavy.
Sony BDVIS1000 - I was bit skeptical before owning it. Just not sure how gud would be the sound from those tiny speakers. After using it, i feel sony is at its best on this. So gud at sound and very attractive. The picture quality both with blu ray discs and dvd's(1080P upconversion) is excellent. The Wireless Surround speakers sync well with the main unit. The only con with this is the main unit(player) is bit heavy. But its attractive with a blue shade on it and with the touch sensitive buttons.
S-airJanuary 5, 2009 I purchased the Sony BDVIS1000 5.1Ch Blu-ray Disc/DVD Home Theater System and totally loved, so much I bought my parents one for xmas...Mine works great, theres on the other hand don't.The S-air will not connect no matter what I try..Mine I have in a closed cabinet with the wireless speakes 25 ft away and it works great, theres about 8 ft away?? I called Sony Tech support and they have no clue how to help...I even had support ask me if it was a Sony product. I have read that others are having this same issue...If you buy one and it works, The sound is great for a HTIB..If not GOOD LUCK...

Excellent All-In-One Blu-Ray Surround SystemDecember 14, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I purchased the Sony BDV-IS1000 after researching a lot of Blu-Ray HTIB systems from all the manufacturers. I was initially skeptical about the sound quality from such small speakers and concerned about the reliability of wireless rear speakers. I am glad to say that after purchasing this system and setting it up (in less than 30 minutes) that not only does the S-Air system work flawlessly, but the sound is incredible. Friends are amazed at the sound quality after they find my speakers. I have the system in a solid wood entertainment center with an open front shelf for the Sony. I have had absolutely no problems with the S-air system connecting to the receiver in the rear of my living room (approx. 15 feet). The video quality from the blu-ray player is amazing as well.
I have also connected this system to my wireless network using the Linksys wireless gaming system adapter and have had no problems downloading the BD Live update.
I highly recommend this sytem.
EPIC FAIL!December 7, 2008 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
There are some nice things to say about this setup. - Blu-ray picture and motion are great. - BRAVIA integration is sweet (I don't think I explicitly did anything but one remote controls the TV and the Blu-ray player). - For the most part, it is incredibly easy to set up.
However, there is a glaring problem with this unit. The rear wireless speakers don't work. And, btw, there is no way to just plug them in directly.
It took several hours of fiddling around to get the S-AIR (Sony proprietary wireless technology) receiver configured. There is a missing step in the manual that, during pairing, you must push in the "pairing" button on the back of the sub-unit. After crossing that hurdle I was able to pair the units and receive a message that I have successfully paired the wireless sub-unit. I moved on to the test the configuration. I the prodceeded to the test tone audio setup feature to test the configuration. The sub-unit cannot even hold its wireless connection to the base unit long enough for the test tones to go around all the speakers more than once (maybe 30 seconds). Sometimes the rear speakers will tone, sometimes they will not. Comically, they even cut out mid-tone a few times. My attempts at success included moving the base station and the wireless sub-unit so that they were directly within line-of-site with each other. I also attempted to download a software update (for which there was none). For me, the wireless feature was a key component in my decision to purchase this HTiB. Sadly, back in the box it goes.
It appears that I am not the only one experiencing this problem. At the time of this writing, there are not a great number of reviews of this product. However, a quick Google search should turn up other commiserators.
