Good Quality, High Price!
This unit was fairly simple to setup including so-called wireless speakers. No glitches other than wireless receiver for broadband must be placed up high which means it's visible. Picture is outstanding for our TV. Sound is pretty good but the downside is limited sound mode options! The biggest downfall of this unit is, I bought this for network streaming but with limited file formats, it will not accept AVI or VOB files.

Great System
I like this system but I don't why no one has a complete wireless system when the technology is there that's the first thing. Second thing is it needs more hdmi outputs for gaming

Replacement for old system
Purchased system based on it's ability too stream content from home network. After using the unit for some two weeks it is evident that it supports only a few video formats for streaming, one of them is not avi files. The sound quality is quite impressive, however the base gets too be a bit much at times and have not researched a way to reduce its level. The presets for audio are limited, compared too our old Sony system, of course the old system was a surround / receiver unit without a disk player. Unless you are sitting in a pitch black room, the display on the front of the unit is very dim even after setting it to it's brightest setting. I have registered the product three times now and each time I return to the site for support it doesn't show up. I have tried repeatedly too register the product for backstage pass, extended support etc., movies on demand, the web site tells me that this option could take 12 hrs to set up, well after two weeks I would expect it would happen, NOT! I can do without the movies on demand option however it just bothers me when something won't perform as advertised. As for the Blu Ray player, playback is smooth with crisp picture quality even while pausing. The front controls are not lit and I find myself fumbling around with them trying to choose options, the only one I can accomplish without great difficulty is eject / load, forget trying to navigate the onscreen display with these unless you put them too memory using the manual. All in all I / we enjoy the unit and are pleased with our purchase, just that we thought there would be more control over the audio portion.

This is not a true wireless rear speaker unit
After searching online for a home entertainment system that had wireless rear speakers and internet connectivity to download movies from sites like NetFlicks I found the BVD-E770W which had ever what I was looking for especially in price. After setting everything up ( connecting to internet was a little difficult which I believe was because of the location of the wireless speaker system) That has been resolved but the issue with having rear wireless speaker is still nagging me. After pairing the speakers and other configuration I was not able to get sound out of the speakers. I finally called support and he walked me through some troubleshooting steps only to come to the conclusion that I had not wired my speakers from the wireless unit to the rear speakers. They explained the the unit that comes with the system (S-Air) is what makes the speakers wireless meaning the S-Air unit is wireless to the Blu-Ray player. From the S-Air system you have to run wires that are color coordinated that come with the package to the rear speakers to get them to work. If this isn't false advertising I don't know what is. Come on Sony with a name as big as your's how can you miss lead consumers. This is just wrong. Your support help even apologized for your false advertising. Just tell me why you lied to the consumers.
