Amazing sound This system sounds much better than most systems that cost twice as much. automated configuration is pretty cool. The two HDMI inputs work with both my cable box and my PC. I don't have any issues or problems with it. I think this is the best system for the money. March 5, 2013
Use a Quality HDMI Cable I was having issues after the first few days with picture going out, breaking up, sound going out and coming back again. I thought it might be my cable box. I looked here to see if others had similar problems. I did find at least one review that matched my challenges, having the same cable box. I swapped out a new cable box and had the same issues. While working with the cable company, I had picture but no sound. They asked me to make sure all my cables were secure. I was sure, did that several times, but I checked again. When I pushed the HDMI cable in, although it was already secure, the sound came back. I got off the phone and all the same problems started. Then it dawned on me. When I bought the HDMI cables they had basic cables and expensive high speed extra quality cables. I went with basic. I went back and bought the expensive high quality, high speed HDMI cables and all my problems went away. Better picture, great sound, and no more blacking out or sound loss. Never had another problem. It's been great ever since. love it. Lesson, don't go cheap, get the best HDMI cables you can get. March 2, 2013
only worked for 2 days I bought this unit and a Sharp Aquos 60 in TV at the same time. Everything worked fine for 2 days. Then my iPod wouldn't play anymore. I spent a week unhooking everything and setting it back up, reading manuals and googling solutions but never could figure out the problem. The FM tuner, DVD player and TV sound worked but the iPod wouldn't play. I could see the songs and select them so I don't know why pressing play wouldn't work. For $500, I expected more than 2 days of use. I returned this and the TV to the store, since I didn't know which one was the problem. Very disappointed. January 5, 2013
Sony technology at its best, out of the box great. Great picture, terrific sound, set was a snap with absolutely no problems. December 8, 2012
