Sony DAV-S300 Theater System

Pros: Sony name, easy set-up.
Cons: Speakers may be considered too small by some.

I’m way out of my comfort zone with these electronic gadget reviews, but since I own one, I thought it might be nice to write a few words down that regular Joes like myself can understand. This is my disclaimer: I’m no expert. I’m simply an owner and...

Pros: Ease of installation and use. Integral DVD/CD player.
Cons: Not the greatest speakers.

For those who desire a complete, movie-theater type sound system, an outlay of large quantities of cash will be in order. However, if you're willing to settle for a sound system which will give you pretty decent quality, while not quite measuring up to...

Pros: Great quality surround sound.
Cons: Won't play homemade CDs.

My husband talked me into buying a DVD player, and it wasn't until we were looking for one that we considered buying a package DVD and home theater system. The DVD players were expensive (to us anyway) and the packages were not that much more, so we...

Pros: pretty good setup for relatively cheap price; sony leads electronic aesthetics-just gorgeous!
Cons: not enough watts; picture quality

I'm pretty sure I'm writing about the same set everyone else has, but the product number in this category says "DAV-S300" while mine is "DAV-S500." In fact, I don't believe a S300 exists, as the Sony website doesn't have it listed. However, there is a ...

Pros: Clean, compact system, and sounds great without applying for 10yr financing...
Cons: Perhaps, some more control over tone (Bass/Treble)--other than that,none.

I was interested in getting myself "up to speed" with home theater and DVD technology, and wean myself off of VHS tapes. However, I didn't want to have to rely on financing a purchase over time, a trend that seems very popular with consumers these days, ...

Pros: Low-profile, sleek, all-in-one system. Great for apartments, bedrooms, and dorm rooms.

If you're looking to set up a home theater system without a lot of hassle, the Sony DAV-S300 may be exactly what you want. All you need is a television; the system is perfectly sized for apartments, bedrooms, dorm rooms, and offices.

Pros: Outstanding home system
Cons: Wont play my cd-r CDs

The Sony DAV s300 DVD/Dolby Digital Home Theater System is awesome if you (like myself) have the need for great big sound...in a little tiny space. I purchased mine a few months ago and have been telling as many people as i can how much i like it....

Pros: Sounds great, Looks cool, Easy to operate, Space-saving design
Cons: Low watts per channel, no clock on the unit, Somewhat expensive

I was first attracted to the DAV-S300 because of it's silver finish and compact size. As I looked more closely at the unit, I was impressed by the image & sound quality; as well as the physical integrity of the unit and speakers themselves.

Pros: Ease of Use, Value, Picture, Sound
Cons: Can't play CD-R, CD-RW

I brought this DVD package because an all in one system would be so much easier to use. When I unpacked it and began to put it together, I couldn't believe how easy it was to put together. Well Done Sony! The 5 little speakers (20W per channel) are very...

Pros: Easy to set up, all-in-one system
Cons: Won't read CD-Rs, not as good as a high-end DVD player and surround sound system

Pros: Simple set-up, uncluttered. Amazingly easy to use.
Cons: Not CD-R compatible. Proprietary Sony cabling.

My wife and I got this unit to try to cut down on growing clutter in our entertainment center, and it worked -- to an extent.

The unit itself is small and simple to hook up, save Sony's proprietary plugs for the speakers. They make is simple...

Pros: Easy to set up and operate. Decent sound.
Cons: Broke after only two and half years.

This unit is very easy to set up and operate. The speakers deliver good sound and the subwoofer, ev ...
