 New to HDTV & surround sound? Read this! November 29, 2008

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!
Great System, Great Price July 24, 2008

I had been looking for a while trying to find a good home theater system for a nice price. After reading many reviews and specs, I chose this one. I've had it for a while now and I love it. The upconvert on regular dvds is really great too. The sound is really good, the sub is punchy and the system is really easy to set up. You even get a microphone tool with it that helps to automatically set up the speaker adjustments for you and your specific room shape.
My only gripe would be the limited HDMI inputs. This model, though, is an improvement over the 265 model. The ipod dock is a nice addition. I have my PS3 connected with a digital optical audio cable and that works well. If I want to have my cable television be in surround sound, I just unplug the digital audio cable from my PS3 and plug it into my cable reciever. A little bit of a pain, but not too bad. If you use one or the other more often, you can just leave it plugged into that device. The dvd upconvert sounds really nice too. It fills my living room with nice sound from my regular old dvds and the picture is damn near HD.
Overall, for this price, it is a great deal. Just dont expect to be plugging in too many peripherals. But for use with my PS3, cable television, and the upconvert dvd player on it, it works well. And oh ya, music CDs sound good in it too. It creates really nice surround sound from my old cds.
awesome sound for the price November 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.
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.
