Product Overview
Brimming on the edge of your seat while you?re dazzled by high-sounding special effects, isn?t commonly associated with these all in one systems. In late ?99, Pioneer came about with the concept. Later the other brands followed suite, including Sony, Panasonic and Hitachi... Read full review »

Sony DAV-S500 DVD Home Theater System

Pros Looks, performance, SACD, does not cost a fortune
Cons Remote control, wimpy front speakers
Recommended it? Yes

The Sony DAV-S500 is a complete ?home theater in a box? that includes a DVD/CD player that features SACD playback, four surround speakers, a center speaker and a subwoofer (and, of course, the remote control). The benefit of systems like this one is the ease of setup and stylish design.

Pros Great sound at a great price.
Cons Slow load speed.
Recommended it? Yes

Let me state this right off the bat: I love my Sony DAV-S500 Dream System. We paid $480 for the system, which comes with a subwoofer, two front speakers, two rear speakers, one center channel, a remote, and of course the main component itself.

The main component plays not just DVDs, but... Read full review »

Pros Price, performance, features, picks up where DAV-S300 left off
Cons Still a passive sub, still small and bedroom oriented, no MP3s
Recommended it? Yes

Once upon a time, just a bit more than a year ago actually, I was looking for a solid plug-n-play DVD solution which wouldn't break the bank and would take up the whole living room...Enter the DAV-S300. The new generation sibling the to S300 is out, and it is still a great all-in-one solution, it... Read full review »

Great sound in a small package

bynealct Jan 15, 2002
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small size of main unit and speakers, great sound; ease of setup.
Cons Lack of appropriate cables; Sony-specific connectors on speakers.
Recommended it? Yes

I was looking for a home-theater-in-a-box system because I did not have anything (besides a VCR) to go with my TV. No stereo, no dvd player, no CD player. I couldn't hear the TV with the existing little-bitty speakers that are on the TV, and I didn't want to spend a lot of money for a complete... Read full review »

Pros Very good sound quality, multi-function remote with day-glow face.
Cons One disc at a time, too many remote buttons and the buttons are too small.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this sound system about 4 years ago. I have loved it the entire time I have owned it. DVD's sound truly amazing. The first time I used it we were watching the Sound of Music and the scene with the thunder and lightning actually frightened my young kids because it sounded so realistic to... Read full review »

Pros Small speakers, great sound, everything that you want from a home theater for the price
Cons weak rear speakers, annoying setup
Recommended it? Yes

I love this DVD system. The quality is great for the price. Great sound with cd's, dvd's, great for video games and music. You can't go wrong with this one. It is cheaper then most home theater systems and has just as good quality. Setup is a bit complicated, too many wires but once it is set up,... Read full review »

Pros Small, attractive, sacd, color coded connectors, 5 free DVD's
Cons large subwoofer
Recommended it? Yes

I received the Sony DAV-S500 as a gift. I had looked at others but this was the one. The majority of the system is small and compact, which makes it easy for relocating it. Comes in 1 box! It is Silver which goes nice with any decor (for the women out there). My biggest concern was setting it up..... Read full review »
