New to HDTV & surround sound? Read this!November 29, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I appreciate the audiophiles' reviews of this system, but any criticism is mostly unfair. If home theater systems were cars, this system is a Cadillac. No, it's not a Lamborghini, it's not a Bentley, it's a Cadillac, and it's at Chevy pricing. Folks who are seeking the highest standard of sound quality have no business buying this system and broadcasting their esoteric disappointment in it. I purchased this system as a "get me by" system, that is, I wasn't expecting a lot from it... it was destined for the bedroom TV... a 42" Aquos LCD. I wasn't expecting much, but was blown away by the sharpness of this system's sound, and its ability to produce balanced movie bass. The upconversion is nice, especially on Pixar movies and other animated titles. I do highly recommend an HDMI cable for great color and sharpness (vs component video or S-video). Also, I do recommend this system's hardwire speakers over the S-AIR speaker/receiver system, which is highly susceptible to RFI/radio interference (think low-quality walkie-talkie). The sound movement from speaker to speaker, especially on THX certified pictures, is incredible if you haven't experienced home theater before. I watch DVDs at sound level 30 and feel like I'm in a full size DTS movie theater. I would say this: if you can (want to) spend 50% more for 10% better sound, then this system is not for you. But if you're looking for a good home theater system that you and your family will greatly appreciate, and have countless DVDs (not Blue-Ray / HD), then this is a great system for your money!
Bravia DAV-HDX275 Rocks!November 23, 2008 This thing sounds and looks great. I purchased the HDX275 with my Bravia 52" LCD. I figured the two would compliment each other and was I right. The sound is incredible and the auto calibration worked like a charm. I used a standard definition DVD (Alladin the Disney Movie) with lots of music and drama to see what it could do and I was blown away. The sound is incredible.
The price is small and the sound is big. Quality unit for the price. Buy it.
awesome sound for the priceNovember 20, 2008 I got this home theater as a bundle with my new sony TV. So basically it came out free for me. So i cannot complain for the price. I also purchased the speaker stands. Overall sound is great hence the 5 star. Here is my observation after last 1 month of use.
Pro's: Setup was easy sound is awesome (as per price) long wires to go around the room (I am guessing the wires for surround rear speaker are ~50 feet) comes with a microphone to tune the system according to your room, etc FM / AM / DVD / TV modes work great
Cons: has only 1 analog audio input. so if you are toggling between PC and TV and game consoles, you have to get to the back of this system and plug / unplug each time.
there is only 1 HDMI out.
does not have a graphic equilizer. I like to set the type of sound using graphic equilizer, but this set does not have this feature. It has only two modes - audio and movie. these modes are great but do not enhance certain type of sounds which I would like to. Overall sound is great hence the 5 star.
Nice systemNovember 13, 2008 This all in one package Sony DAV-HDX275 system is bang for the buck. I got it for $225 plug tax and free shipping was a deal to steal. The 5-disc upconvertion DVD player is a plus and with crisp digital 5.1 sound along with a good solid bass. I would recommended it and Amazon shipping was awesome got it 4 days.
Love our SonyNovember 7, 2008 We looked all over, and I am telling you that Amazon really does have the best prices around. The Sony came faster than expected but they always seem to get there things fast out to there Customer's. I have never had to return anything, I Have bought alot of things from here and me and hubby are so happy with every Purchase! I really just wanted to say Thank You to Amazon! Fast and Easy. Keep up the Great Products that you offer:)
