Digital camera reviews of Sony BRAVIA DAV-HDX589W 5.1-Channel Theater System (Black)

Digital camera Review: Ah-mazzing
Summary: 5 Stars

Had purchased a new 47" VIZIO with HD. . originally purchased a Samsung home theater system. . got home and the Samsung system was horrible. Decided we wanted a Sony one but could not find one in stock around where we live. I decided to look on Amazon. . and thank god I did!!! We found this system for over $180 dollars cheaper then from the Sony website. . and it is AWESOME. . AMAZING. . just plain GRRRREAT! The sound quality is great. . the volume is booming I mean shakes your pictures LOUD. . and the quality of the DVD is great too. Definatley very very pleased with this system.

Digital camera Review: Average home theater
Summary: 3 Stars


Let me list the problems I found with this system which are not highlighted by others:

This home theater has very good sound quality when playing DVDs but when listening to Cable box audio thru digital optical audio input the sound levels deteriorate drastically even when the cable box feeds dolby 5.1 input.
Its not very user friendly to change the sound modes from the remote as you have to press multiple buttons to select the desired sound setting
The most annoying problem with this device is that it always processes optical audio input even you have something connected to the RCA audio inputs (For eg: gaming console). There is no option on the remote to switch from optical audio to RCA input other than physically disconnecting power to your cable box if you have to feed audio from your gaming console.

I have a 4th generation ipod and the system plays tracks from it without any issues but it does not display the ipod menu on the TV screen. You can navigate the ipod from the ipod screen alone (even though you can change tracks from the home theater remote). This is annoying as every time you have to change a track you need to go near your ipod and switch the track. A similar system from panasonic (SC PT760) beautifully displays ipod menu on the TV screen. I dont know if this problem exists with other generation ipods too. Sony has not mentioned this anywhere in the manual.

Finally the sony tech support for home theaters sucks big time. Dont waste your time trying to call them. They are not of much help.

Digital camera Review: Awesome

Got this system a couple days ago, and it just blows me away. The sound is amazing, the sub really kicks out deep bass, its looks great and the picture is crystal clear also. The rear wireless has been flawless, microwave, cordles phone does not interfere with it at all. I have this system in a medium room and sounds wonderful. Has a 5 dvd/cd changer, am/fm tuner, ipod cradle included, input in front for headphones and mp3 player, hdmi, component, composite video out and coaxil and optical input also.The romote is not universal but works only for Sony Bravia lcd's only. For the price, i recommend this unit to everyone.

Only regret is that I didn't purchase the unit with the S-air mobile speaker (I purchased it seperately and it works awesome too). System works great!

Digital camera Review: Awesome! Great Deal! Could not be more happy!
Summary: 5 Stars

We bought this sound system for our first home theater system, The wireless is really a great feature so you have less wires and still works awesome! The sound quality and 5.1 dynamics are wonderful and add to the effect of the movie, i would say, more then other sound systems. The 5 disc DVD upscaler/player. Works wonderful and also reduces wires of dvd players etc. The bass, being how it is passive and not powered, still gives the big boom and rumble as if it was powered instead of passive! Fiber Optics provide an amazing experience as well and help with the sound quite allot! Overall, and AMAZING sound system and well worth your money
