Just wanted to share a few points about this product that weren’t clear to me before I purchased it.
1.) The receiver does not decode Dolby True HD or Master DTS HD. HOWEVER, the receiver accepts LPCM signals. So, if your Blu-Ray player can send an LPCM signal and it has onboard decoders for those codes (and I believe they all do), then you can still experience everything Dolby True HD and Master DTS HD has to offer. If you’re lost at this point, I’ll put it this way. If you have a PS3 and this sound system, you’re getting the full “HD” sound offered by Blu-Ray discs. Just make sure your PS3 is set to send Blu-Ray audio via LPCM, not Bitsreaming. Also, you need to connect your PS3 with HDMI to make this happen.
2.) The sound from this system is excellent. 1000 watts is plenty of power for your typical home theater. In fact, it’s more watts than most home theater systems on the market currently offer. In my experience, a good rule of thumb is “more watts the better”. This is true even you don’t plan on cranking up the volume.
3.) The rear speakers on this system are not automatically wireless. That is, this system is CAPABLE of wirelessly transmitting to the rear speakers, but in order to do this, you need to purchase a transmitter to plug into the back of the receiver and an amplifier for the rear speakers. Sony calls this system AIR. So, in case it isn’t clear, this system is only “wireless ready”. I haven’t purchased the transmitter and the amp needed, but installation looks like it would be very simple. It’s nice to have that option in the future.
The only downside to this system, as I see it, is that the remote is overly complicated. Lots of buttons and I only seem to use about 8 of them. If my home theater had more Sony BRAVIA compenents, then maybe all of the extra buttons would be of more use. Overall, however, the bad remote is definitely not a dealbraker. The positives of this system greatly outweigh this one minor negative.

I bought this system yesterday. It has great, even sound and multiple sound fields for different situations (movies, games, sports, etc). I like that the speakers are small (the center channel speaker) disappears in front of my television. Also, there are 3 HDMI inputs for everything I need (Blu-Ray player, Computer, etc) and one output for the television. There are also inputs for analog and digital audio sources. One drawback is that the ‘wireless’ rear speakers are only wireless when coupled with the optional AIR EZW-T100 Wireless transmitter and the Wireless amplifier for the speakers (WAHT-SA10). This wasn’t a problem until I found that the amplifier doesn’t seem to be available anywhere. Even the SonyStyle store shows ‘out of stock’. Aside from that, this is a great-looking and sounding system for a reasonable price. As long as you don’t demand wireless rear speakers in the immediate future, I highly recommend it.

NOTE: This does *NOT* come with a built-in bluray player.
I got this system to hook up to my PS3. This is my first 5.1 system, so I can’t really compare it against other systems, but I can say that I am very pleased with this product.
Sounds great, long speaker wires, 3 HDMI inputs, nice looking. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a 5.1 HTIB system in the $300 range.
