It does exactly what it says on the box. And very well.

Pros Great if you don't want the hassle of many boxes. Amazing for games.
Cons Might get lost in a large room.
Recommended it? Yes

I've yearned for a cinema sound system for the last 5 years. Various things have colluded to prevent me from getting what I wanted. I used to be a big fan of 'separates' - loved the wiring and the flexibility, but now I think some of those units are a lot more hassle than they're worth. So when I... Read full review »

A True Dream System - No more glitches!

Pros Great sound/video quality; compact, sleek new design; slot loading, 5 disc changer;...
Cons Somewhat tiny remote buttons; scratched DVDs are a problem
Recommended it? Yes

When we decided to get a surround sound system for our living room, we looked long and hard into many different brands and styles. After some deliberations, we set our eyes on Sony. Their products seemed to be as well equipped to do the job just as much as a Bose system or any other A/V system... Read full review »

Pros Great sound, great picture, it's a Sony!
Cons Disk changer is flawed, remote is confusing, unit generates lots of heat.
Recommended it? No

I'm in my 40's now and don't need/want a super loud stereo. Our old receiver gave up the ghost and my wife jumped at the chance to get rid of all that equipment and those huge speakers in favor of a small Home Theater System that plays CD's. I bought this based on how the system sounded on the... Read full review »

Pros Decent sound (though a little "light" on sound for vaulted ceilings)...
Cons The mechanics suck. It will fall apart on you.
Recommended it? No

This is my mother-in-law's unit, purchased for her by us two years ago. It worked great for a few months, until it started having trouble playing DVDs. They tried running a DVD cleaner through it, to no avail, but she didn't return it like she should have. After about a year, it started just... Read full review »

DVD player a dud

6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Looks great and is easy to set up
Cons DVD player will fail about 70% of the time
Recommended it? No

I bought the system in January 2003, based almost entirely upon its looks, its simplicity, and the reputation of the Sony brand. The picture was crisp and the sound quality exceeded my expectations. However, from day one, I found that only one out of three DVDs would play without freezing,... Read full review »

All form, no function

Pros Great looking, the subwoofer's almost a showpiece for your living room!
Cons Audio systems are all about sound, and this one lacks punch.
Recommended it? No

UPDATE AT THE BOTTOM (12/10/2003)
I got the Sony DAV-C770 yesterday from my local Sears store after doing all the research, reading all the reviews and thinking I had made an informed decision that can't fail. I wanted something that would reduce the size of my home theater stack. I have 6... Read full review »

Dream or Nightmare?

Pros None
Cons Great Concept if it would only work!
Recommended it? No

I recently purchased this system and to tell you the truth I can't begin to describe how disappointed I am. First it takes forever to load the 5 DVD's then it comes the problem with the subtitles on and off and so on and to make matters worst the movies stop in a "Freeze-frame" and that's it, you...

Almost satisfied, but not quite

Pros good performance all around, best features you can get today
Cons poor sub design, prevalent glitches with subtitles
Recommended it? No

In general, if one is on a budget, but still would like to get the best features available from today?s technology, I MAY recommend this home theater package. The things you are going to find fault with is the sub (that can be fixed), and a subtitle glitch (read towards the bottom). The later was... Read full review »

Pros Less setup time,Looks,Sleek size,but music is awefully bad.
Cons Worst Sound quality,Insufficient BASS or Treble.
Recommended it? No

I did a lot of web study for this system, and because of the sleekness, and majority of the users said it is a good system,and as well I am a great admirer of Sony, I went for demo in the SONY exculsive showroom. The sales man played some DVD's, and I found that the sound was not very impressive, I... Read full review »

Pros Nice aesthetics, decent sound quality, features, ease of use, sony service.
Cons Sony durability, lack of bass, price.
Recommended it? No

I bought this DVD Dream System when it first became available, replacing the DAV-C700, from an online mega store. Straight out of the box, I found the unit easy to set up and instructions fairly well written. The aesthetics of this dvd player, in my opinion, is one of the best Ive seen. The smooth...
