System was delivered over night. Instructions were easy to follow. The only problem was you need to purchase a few cables not included. Although the speaker wire included is thin it works fine. The one coxial cable included is extremly short so probably won't work for many set ups. But we loved the effect of the system. We are not gaget gurus so it plenty of sound for us. The only thing that is a hurdle is getting it to work with regular tv shows. It only gives instructions on how to hook it up to the DVD player or VCR, any other component you're on your own.

I happy to have it! it's works and looks like new. Very good item especially for such price.

I've owned this system for two years now, and there hasn't been one issue with it...it's rock-solid. It runs cool, and looks great too, more on this later.

If I have any crit at all, it would be that mounting brackets for the speakers are not included. There was not even a recommended part number in the documentation. I bought a generic set and they worked just fine. The speaker cabs are MDF, so screws fit snugly.

I'm using this in my modest basement theater, and it shakes the whole house, very robust. Honestly, I can't imagine needing more power than this unless you're almost deaf. In fact, the fetching Mrs. Brew is constantly suggesting that we turn it down.

Configuration is a breeze, and the remote is easy to understand, although it is not backlit.

Imagine my delight when 18 months later I bought a Sony DVP-NS75H DVD player and it was an exact matched component! Matching size, front-panel display and connections. Just hooked up an optical cable between the two and was in business.

As an audio professional, I could not be more delighted with the performance of this system at this incredible price.

Many home theater systems with DVD player included, do not have a zoom feature for movie playback. You are not able to decrease the black lines at the top and bottom of wide-screen formatted movies. Therefore its better to by this receiver with speakers, and then buy a separate DVD player of your choice.

Or just hook it up to your game system that plays DVDs. Or hook it up to your computer if your sound card has an optical output. Use it to play Doom 3/Unreal Tournament!!!

You won't believe your ears when you play audio CDs. This Sony system greatly enhances the quality of my audio CDs, especially when you use the options such as Hall, Jazz, etc.

It will really shock you to hear the type of sound you hear. It's easy to set up; it's awesome. You may even be able to catch it on sale. The only down side is that you can't hook too many other things into it. So, if you're looking for a receiver to connect your own floor speakers, you may want to check the amps on the speakers first. It might be doing the speakers an injustice if the watts are larger than this system. For anybody who just wants a nice sound when watching their movie, this is the one!
