Home > Consumer Reviews > Sony HT-DDW660 Home Theater System

I just recently recieved my Sony system as a Father's day gift. I want to say that I am so pleased with it. I looked at several systems, and this one could not be beat. Not only for the great price, but for the entire package. I brought it home, took it out of the box and set it right up. It was that easy !! This is the system to buy, trust me, you "WON'T" be sorry.

This Home Theatre System by Sony is a great deal. It costs less than $200 for a 420 watt system that has the Sony brand name on it. The sound is very clear and the reciever is powerful. There are problems with it however, the reciever des not have enough inputs, both digital and analog. I am also unimpressed with the remote. I disliked it because it only works with Sony electronics. That is oviously a marketing ploy but I wish they didnt do that. Despite tose problems, this is a good, solid and inexpensive Home Theatre System and I would recomend it if you cannot afford a $2000 high-end system.

I'm very pleased with this purchase. Though I agree with the comments around lacking power (you need to turn the volume to 55+ out of 70 to get strong sound), the performance is solid. Easy to setup and use, a number of options for the type of sound you want. I do wish the remote was configurable with my Sony DVDR/VCR combo. But overall, a nice system for someone looking for a good audio complement to their big-screen tv.

I agree with the "better than BOSE" review!the reson i got this was i dreamed of a sony home theater for this price.the first time i saw this at walmart,i used the demo,turned it up and WOW!this system has got power,420 watts!im turning 12 in 3 days and im getting a magnavox portable dvd player(MPD720)!all in all this system is even great for a large living room.if you dont know whether to get a panasonic or sony,think this;sony makes movies(sonypictures.com),does panasonic?no,therfore,sony is more experienced with home theater!Hope this helps you chose.
TIP:use sony's cinema modes,located in MOVIE,for better sound quality!
CINEMA mode A:for all types of movies
CINEMA mode B:FOR sci-fi or action with lots of sound effects
CINEMA mode C:for movies with violin,chello,etc. in the background

I was looking around for a long time to get a good HTS at a bargain rate under $200. Damn I was lucky I found this during the After Thanksgiving day sale for $150. Wow, I am amazed by the clarity of sound and now I can hear all the minute details. I haven't even turned the volume to MAX yet but this thing still rocks. Only con is this system has only 2 inputs. I connected my Sony TV and my DVD player to the 2 inputs and everything else like VCR and PS2 goes through my TV as it has 8 inputs and I still get the same effect.

As always, SONY, the brand name speaks for itself.
