defective design
(1 out of 5) by B. Morrison on May 31, 2004 (Riverside, CA)It should be obvious to anyone that is reading these posts that this unit design is defective. Around a month into ownership, my unit became unresponsive, no stopping, pausing, ff or ejecting DVD's. The remedy was to unplug for a few minutes, reset and try again. Finally returned for a different product.
Don't Buy - unless gift for Ex-wife
(1 out of 5) by Top Sleep on Apr 8, 2007 (Florida)Sounds like a broken record about this machine - but when powered on the DVD display blinks twice and then goes blank. At this time and for some time later (maybe days or weeks) the DVD function won't work - no eject, no insert - no play!!
If you want one, I will sell you mine - certified not to be working on arrival.

Hello....Recall please
(2 out of 5) by Carol Ewald on Jan 23, 2007I can't believe that Sony has not done something about this. Our system has the same CD and power problems! I have already mounted the speakers on the walls and would love to just replace the unit with something compatible. I used to always buy Sony products but after this piece of junk, I'm looking elsewhere for dependable electronics

(1 out of 5) by L. Stedman on Jan 6, 2007 (Chicago, IL)I'm sorry to say that I too have seen the 'standby' glitch but in the past I was able to unplug the system and power it back on to fix the problem. UNTIL TODAY
Now when I power on the system it flashes 'DVD' for a second, then goes blank. I cannot eject or insert a DVD. No display on the TV. But the FM tuner and audio inputs still work.
This system cost me $400 2.5 years ago. I was never thrilled with it - sound is ok, but no Treble/Bass or EQ adjustment is available.
It also takes forever to switch between disks, maybe an acceptable sacrifice for such a sleek system.. but now it no longer functions for me.
Not that anyone is going to be buying these new anymore. Just steer clear!

First home theater system
(3 out of 5) by Matt M. on Dec 29, 2006I actually won this system via a radio contest, and I have had it for 2 years now. There have been some small annoyances, but otherwise, it has been a good system. It looks sharp, was easy to setup and use, and there was plenty of length to the speaker wire to setup surround sound in nearly any size room. The DVD changer is slow, but the sound and picture quality is great. I would recommend this system if you only have a basic setup of home theater, as multiple inputs/outputs can be a bit of a hassle.
