Strong features list ; Versatile compatibility ; Excellent sound and pictures

Costly

It's not cheap, but if you can justify the expense you won't be disappointed

2.1-channel surround HTIB system; elegant design; tiny speakers; dual 6-inch subwoofer; HDMI output; plays SACDs; simplified cable hookup; includes setup DVD.

Virtual-surround effect limited to a small sweet spot; not a multidisc changer; movies sound better than music; high style comes with a high price.

Sony's DAV-X1 virtual-surround Dream System can unleash a full, enveloping sound from DVDs, but it's less satisfying with CDs.

Good set of features, Impressive connectivity

Too much MPEG noise, 'Surround sound' not really delivered

Good on paper, but unfortunately not quite so good in reality

2.1-channel virtual surround system; elegant design; five-disc DVD/CD/SACD changer; automatic speaker setup and calibration; tiny, two-way/three-driver satellites; dual 6-inch subwoofer; HDMI output; simplified cable hookup.

Expensive; the dearth of video conversion options minimizes the advantage of the two video inputs; proprietary connector cable limits speaker placement options.

Sony's lavishly designed DAV-X1V system sounds great on DVDs and less dreamy on music.

Alot less money than the BOSE 2.1 System that cost $899.00!.. Excellent sound, great for HDTV's which don't have great built in speakers

The speakers are controlled by 1 wire

Nice design. Sound quality is better for DVD than for using as a CD hi-fi, but still reasonable. Good price and overall very pleased with this purchase.
