As others have noted, this is a "Home Theater In A Box" system. While it does that fairly well, it makes no real effort to be anything more. In particular while it will play CDs and has a dock for...

Avoid the Sony STR-DG710 receiver at all costs! I owned it for 2 days before returning it. The promo literature says "Optimized for Blu-ray Disc", and that is an outright lie! I bought it for my...
While Sony touts this as a 5.1 or 6.1 system with 24/96 LPCM, this not true, it auto converts all PCM signals to 2.1 stereo! Why? I have no idea, but my HD DVD player only outputs HDMI in PCM...

Speakers were exactly as described by the website. Setup was easy, regardless of the very unclear and unhelpful instruction booklet that came with the product.
While the other speakers and sub woofer are fine, the center speaker is simply too weak and after a little use began crackling at times. Unfortunately, the center speaker is where most of the...
