 Happy June 14, 2010
James H. Kahr
Like others I was surprised at the size of the box that it was delivered in, but soon understood why. This system was not hard to set up, only problem I can not get the remote control to recognize the directv box. Would appreciate any input on that. The sound is awesome compared to the sony tv, however don't expect surround sound. I was expecting more separation left and right, maybe i don't have it tweaked right. Still very happy with this product.
Just what I needed. June 2, 2010

After looking at different models of sound bar models I decided on this item based on prior Sony purchases, brand reputation and price. For my small room I was looking for something to give me much better center, left and right channel surround. This product couldn't be more satisfying, especially for the price. The sound is crisp and clear. TV shows and movies are so much more fun to watch in HD now that we have great sound. The setup is one of the most simple I have ever done. The added bonus that the remote controls can be picked up by either the subwoofer or the sound bar make it really nice for tucking the sub away. I would recommend this product to anyone that is looking to add some much needed clarity in their sound over TV speakers and doesn't want to break the bank on a full receiver/speaker setup that has a million feature they would probably never use.

This isn't a surround-system, but that's ok. I'm not a fan of drilling holes in walls to run speaker wire. Nor do I like having 5 or 7 or 10 speakers throughout the room. There's nothing good enough anywhere on tv for that kind of overkill, and I don't care for movies driven by sound effects. For my purposes, this system provides plenty of crystal-clear TV volume with adequate bass response from the subwoofer. It features a fairly simple interface with my other components. Once again, Sony has done a great job.
 Mixed feelings May 3, 2010

I bought this to replace a Bose 3-2-1 which I really hated. I wanted a sound bar because of limited space and unwillingness to deal with rear speakers. This Sony had *just* enough inputs to integrate in my system. So in those respects it has been fine, and the cost is low as well. But there are issues:
1. It doesn't work smoothly with my Logitech Harmony One remote and often gets confused.
2. Sound levels and quality seem to jump around a lot. Maybe this is a fault elsewhere, but I'm always reaching for the volume control. Bass is frequently too boomy. Adjusting sound isn't as easy as I would have hoped.
3. Slow switching among sources.
4. Built in radio is poor, and, again, difficult to use. Luckily we don't use the radio often.

I bought this for our bedroom.
It works great. We have a full blown surrond system in our media room. This is not that. I didn't want that for our bed room. You can't beat this for the money.Our tv sounded ok before.but now i don't want to watch anything without it on. it's real good for the money. Very happy with this purchase.
