(3 out of 5)no sound through hdmi
Good quality sound.
Worth noting the sound is not processed through the HDMI connections. The first HDMI connection uses optical and the second uses the coaxial port. This can not be changed, so it will not work with say SkyHD & a PS3 through HDMI as they both use optical (unless you buy a separate coax/optical converter).
The HDMI passed through 1080p from the PS3 and the sound and picture quality were both very good.
(5 out of 5)PS3 Must Have !!
I've just brought this system from Amazon and im really pleased with it.
The main reason i purchased it was for the Playstation 3, and boy does it do a great job, Race around the streets in Need For Speed Carbon and smash into a bus stop, seconds later hear it crashing to the ground behind you - Awsome.
Simple to set up - I have my Sky HD box and PS3 running through it.
The Sky Box and PS3 are connected to my TV via HDMI cable, and then connected to my Surround sound amp via the two optical inputs.
(Just remember to change the sound setting on the PS3 to get the sound as it took me 2 hours to relizw this)
All in all a great system, great price and great sound.

I recently purchased this system to go with my HD DVD player and my Sky HD reciever.After many hours of cable swaping,HDMI,Optical and coaxial i finaly got the correct configuration to get surround sound through both components,set up as follows:-
Dvd HDMI to Video 2B/D in on the amp
Dvd Optical to Opt in Video 2B/D on the amp
Sky HDMI to HDMI in on your TV
Sky Optical to Opt in Sat on the amp.
(4 out of 5)Best system and superb price!
In regards to the other review on here just to let you all know after having spoken with Sony he is correct.
Here is the situation: If you plug in say a 360 Elite and a PS3 via HDMI you will not get audio through the speaker system.
You have to plug in an optical cable to get the audio.
To confirm this system has 2xHDMI inputs and 1xHDMI output so you can plug in both consoles and has 2x Optical inputs as well so you can use both consoles without swapping any cables.
Other than that for the features this system has and the inputs along with the stands and the lovely look it gets 4 stars, it loses a star soley because you do not get audio through the HDMI inputs from your devices.
Also this system acts as a HDMI switcher so if like me you have a HDTV with only 1xHDMI input then do not despair you can switch between your HDMI devices via the remote! And HDMI switchers can cost around £100!
I am definently purchasing this system and I highly recommend you do to especially if you are looking to use it for gaming as it has all the inputs you need!

good points- delivered by amazon in just 2 days with free delivery which was estimated delivery of over a week! (amazing) The sound is fantastic with music and films!looks great and solid! Now a few bad points- lack of cables supplied and i am having problems with sound matching the pictures like (speech) on tv/sky sound coming through the sony theatre system is coming too quickly for tv to catch up. i am sure its something i am doing wrong as i have had it only for a couple of days (if anybody can help please let me know)
