Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I looked at the 2.1 (two speaker, 1 subwoofer) home theatre in a box (HTIB) options extensively. The DAV-X1V is a decent option and a strong upgrade from the previous DAV-X1 product which remains available. The build quality is excellent and the tabletop speakers are solid and compact. It provides a very decent sound with some nice bass. The DVD player works well and puts out a good picture and sound and the integrated AM/FM radio work well. The 5-DVD/CD changer is a bit confusing to work and slow ... but its passable. Frankly, since its hard to remember which DVD/CD is in which of the 5 slots ... we ended up using one at a time. If your looking for a compact, well equipped HTIB system with very easy set-up at a reasonable price ... this is a respectable option. I got down to this and the Samsung HT-Q100 ... a similar product ... but went with the Sony since the HT-Q100 is designed in a vertical presentation and I worried about infringing on the flat screen LCD which was to be mounted on the wall right above. If you are an audiophile at heart or truly want surround sound ... be reasonable with your expectations. This (and most) of the 2.1 systems aren't going to deliver the goods. You may also want to consider the SonyDAV-FX900W 5-Disc DVD Dream System which has a similar base unit as this system but includes a true 5.1 (5 speakers, 1 subwoofer) configuration but with the 2 rear channel (e.g., behind you) speakers in a wireless configuration. One final note ... this unithas solid inputs with all the digital plugs but doesn't include a headphone out jack. Not a deal breaker ... but just something to consider. On the whole, this is a good option worthy of consideration.
