(More customer reviews)I just purchased this system at Best Buy for around $500 last week and have to say, am pretty impressed. It's a bit more than I intended to spend but considering the upgrade from a garbage Samsung system I purchased no more than two years ago, this is hands down a massive upgrade. Since I spent about $300 on the Samsung unit, I really didn't expect much but a DVD player shouldn't stop working on you after less than 2 years of normal use. The piece of junk would automatically mute any DVD that it wanted to for no rhyme or reason. Some DVD's worked, most Netflix DVD's didn't. I would have to manually turn on and off the TV(!) while making sure the DVD player was still on (difficult because I use RF and all components are in a closet behind the TV) - and would have to do this multiple times. So after another failed attempt at watching a Netflix movie ("Knight & Day" - talk about waste of time), I got pissed and decide to buy another system.
First thing I noticed right off the bat was what I was missing in BluRay. Man, what a great picture and sound compared to normal DVD's - I bought "Inception" as my first BR DVD and it knocked my socks off! Sound was crystal clear, picture was amazing. Great movie to start the collection. But I digress, the Sony system was super easy to use, once I got the correct settings and speakers setup. My original setup was using two HDMI cables - one from the TV to the DVD player, the other from the TV to the DVR. For sound, I had an optical cable from DVR to the DVD/Surround Sound system. No more of that nonsense - after some odd hissing/echo sounds, I realized that there would be no need for the optical cable now. Just an HDMI cable from the TV to the DVR, then another HDMI from the DVR to the new Sony system. Viola! Sound is crystal clear, picture is still amazing. After watching my awful Mets and playoff Knick basketball, I am convinced that this was a great purchase. Add to the fact that Best Buy has a "no interest for 24 months" deal going on and I'm a very happy camper.
