Peter, Durham

+ Good sound and the upscaling DVD player gives a greater picture on my 40in LCD TV.

- Even with wireless rear speakers there are a lot of wires and additional control boxes to operate infared connection to rear speakers. Rear speakers can be hard wired if required. Speaker stands are quite bulky.

+ V simple to use and amazing sound quality.

- None that I can see, other than that the surround sound effect does not work with the TV alone. Not that that is Sony's fault.

Steve, Portsmouth

+ Having the wireless speakers did prevent lots of wiring from the main unit. Although they still require wiring back to a power source.

- Small speakers (part of the wirelss set up) have to be wall mounted and would be far better offered on stands

Rav , Birmingham

+ Powerful system which can be used as a hifi aswell as dvd player etc so you have near enough everything in one system.

- Takes a lot of time trying to set it up, and the connecting wires can be a problem in hiding them if you are going to hand the speakers on your walls! The speaker stands for the front speakers are too big. Would be nice if the system had a multi cd option so you can play more than one cd. Buying the hdmi and other cables is very expensive especially if you need a long length to coonect to your tv!
