Digital camera reviews of Sony HTCT100 Sound Bar with Subwoofer - Black
Digital camera Review: Clear, crisp sound from this soundbar
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm very happy with this soundbar. It is a good product for the money. I read all the reviews and knew that I was getting a sound system that does not have true surround sound but does have clear, crisp sound.I purchased it on Amazon and would recommend getting the HDMI cables thru Amazon too. I bought mine at Radio Shack and could have saved a lot of money buying them at Amazon.Digital camera Review: DON'T BE FOOLED THIS IS A GREAT BUY!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first connected my Sony sound bar & subwoofer I was disappointed because of the low volume levels. I then started reading the instruction manual and found that you can control the decibel level of the center channel & subwoofer. The factory default setting is -0- but you have control on the following scale
-6-5-4-3-2-1 -0- +1+2+3+4+5+6. I set my center channel & subwoofer to +6 which made a huge difference in the volume level. There's also an additional option that allows you to set your system to maximum sound level. After making these adjustments my system is very loud and in some cases too loud. The sound is bright & crisp. The led screen displays when broadcast audio is 2.0 or 5.1. HMDI is the best way to go with this setup. The appearance is attractive & neat. Out of the box setup is really easy but read the instructions to get the most out of this system. Of course it's not true surround but it's way better than using your television speakers. If you are looking for a non-surround system that has good crisp, and bright movie theater like sound this is the one for you. Anything more will require digging deeper into your wallet or purse.
Digital camera Review: DONT BUY IT
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this item expecting a little bit better sound then My LG 55' LCD these speakers stink, the subwofer has no base what so ever.
This Item Is A Complete Waste Of Your Money DONT BUY IT
Digital camera Review: Decent Solution
Summary: 3 Stars
Let me say this now: this product does not produce anything close to surround sound and I had no expectations that it would. My expectation for this sound bar was better sound than my TV's built in speakers and it succeeds in doing that.
The Sony Sound bar takes seconds to set up, you don't have ugly wires running through your room, and adds a richer sound tone to your TV. End of story.
Digital camera Review: Decent alternative if you can't go with surround sound
Summary: 4 Stars
I read through a lot of the reviews that complained about the system not being loud enough. I have never had an issue with that. The system has always been loud enough.
The sound balance, however, isn't the greatest. In a good number of movies, the dialog is buried. I had been hoping that this system would be a workable middle ground between the built in TV speakers (which are awful for dialog) and the hassle of installing a full blown surround sound system.
While this system is better than the regular TV speakers, it still has problems.
