Sony DAV-C770 Theater System

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

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 ...

Pros: Great sound, great picture, it's a Sony!
Cons: Disk changer is flawed, remote is confusing, unit generates lots of heat.

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 ...

Pros: Great sound/video quality; compact, sleek new design; slot loading, 5 disc changer; glow-in-the-dark remote
Cons: Somewhat tiny remote buttons; scratched DVDs are a problem

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 ...

Pros: Affordable, superior sound quality, easy to navigate and install, glitch-free player.
Cons: None

We bought one of these systems when it first came out, so we inevitably paid the highest price on it. But even for the 600 dollars we paid, it is well worth it. This system has served us well for a few years now, and we could not ask for more in a dvd pla ...

Pros: good performance all around, best features you can get today
Cons: poor sub design, prevalent glitches with subtitles

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...

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.

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 ...

Pros: None
Cons: Great Concept if it would only work!

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...

Pros: Looks great and is easy to set up
Cons: DVD player will fail about 70% of the time

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 ...

Pros: Sleek, stylish, and compact...easy assembly/installation
Cons: Won't make your ears bleed if that's what you mean

If you want a bass thumpin'and loud rockin' system, shy away
from this one cuz' it's not what you want. But if you need something for that small to average sized room and don't have the money to burn on an outrageously priced piece of equipment,...

Pros: Nice aesthetics, decent sound quality, features, ease of use, sony service.
Cons: Sony durability, lack of bass, price.

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 ...

Pros: Nice compact design,Easy setup,Nice price
Cons: Lack of power,Froze on some DVD's

I purchased this unit because of the Sony name,and the 100 dollar rebate they were offering.When I received the unit I found it to be quite simple to set up.After setting up the unit I tested it out with several different movies I rented from the local...

Pros: Good entry into surround sound from a reputable company.
Cons: Can't fully replace my sound system.

We were just buying a new Sony TV this year to replace our 20+ year old GE. Went high end on the TV and decided to get into the real world with a DVD player. Didn't expect to get all the features of the Dream System but I virtually took apart my...

Pros: Beautiful Design Small profile
Cons: Horrible sound field Remote very difficult to use

I'm sorry everybody, but this one is a waste of money. Unless you have a very tolerant ear the sound is well, my girlfriend described it as: "It sounds like all the speakers are in a cardboard box". I sent the one I bought in for service and they said...

Pros: Less setup time,Looks,Sleek size,but music is awefully bad.
Cons: Worst Sound quality,Insufficient BASS or Treble.

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...

Pros: Sleek and stylish, superior quality sound reproduction, lots of sound in a little box.
Cons: A bit pricey, disks load pretty slowly.

When I first started looking at a home theater system, I checked out all major companies, including Pioneer, Sony, Phillips, etc... I decided to look further into Sony, since they have a reputation not only for quality products, but also their products...
