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

Pros: Good clear sound, small compact, all in one
Cons: center channel is weak, needs more watts
Summary: I bought this system because it was for the money one of the all in one home theater systems you could buy at the time. Its great in small to medium sized rooms. Its really easy to set up and they give you a generous amount of wire already. The volume ... read more

Pros: Easy to set up, Good Pic, Compact
Cons: C13:00 error for 80% of DVD's I put in (see review above)
Summary: Features you can get somewhere else, my opinion is that this was a good little system for the price. The sound is OK, my speaker placement isn't ideal, so perhaps my opinion should be discounted, but the mid range sound is just not all there. This ... read more

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.
Summary: 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, ... read more

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

Pros: Great picture and sound...good CD player.
Cons: None.
Summary: When my brother and I first opened our Sony/Dolby DVD player at Christmas we weren't quite sure what it was! However, then we opened a few smaller gifts...the actual DVD's and caught on. We were really excited and pleased once it was hooked up!

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
Summary: The Sony Compact AV System model DAV-S300 is an all-in-one CD/DVD player, AF/FM tuner, and surround sound system. Setting up the system is quite easy, and you can be watching your favorite DVDs in no time at all. However, this system isn't the best ... read more

Pros: The sound is great and the picture is great.
Cons: It does not play burned cd's
Summary: The Dav-S300 is a very good surround sound agent. With all the speakers it feels like you are there. Thats kind of a wierd thing to say, but it is true. I was watching the Matrix the first time we ot it and it blew me away. First of all the Matrix is ... read more

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

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

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

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

Cons: Won't play homemade CDs.

Pros: easy set up, compact
Cons: faulty, weak speakers
Summary: Granted, the DAV-S300 comes in a sleek package and it's easy to set up. There appears to be a serious flaw with several sony dvd players however, as I discovered when my DAV-S300 started displaying this C:13:00 error message. New disk, old disk, home
