  • As cool to look at as to listen to..

    Jun 05 '03
    Pros: Easy setup, looks and sounds great
    Cons: Slow, crappy remote, little bass

    Summary: This system is a great entry level home theater system. The wires are color coded and labled making setup a breeze even for the novice. The floor mounted speakers look great and running wire under the carpet is much easier than mounting speakers on the ... read more

  • Save yourself a nightmare, buy something else

    May 31 '03
    Pros: Looks nice. Compact
    Cons: Never worked!

    Summary: I bought this system because it looked great, and I've had good luck with Sony in the past. A friend of mine also has the same system and seems to be happy with it. That's why I was hugely disappointed when I took it out of the box, and it would ... read more

    Pros: Great Looking, Value, Clarity , Ease of Use, SACD
    Cons: Lack of Power, Slow Change of Discs

  • Great for a Beginner

    Mar 25 '03
    Pros: Very sleek, cool look, easy to set up, easy to use
    Cons: Not upgradeable

    Summary: I like the system over all, but there are a couple of things that bother me about it. First and foremost is the fact that I can't add any components to it. I have other equipment (VCR, Video Game Console) that I want to add, but can't. In this aspect, ... read more

  • almost a dream

    Mar 11 '03
    Pros: compact, modern, sleek, all latest techs, great sound
    Cons: 600 watts total ,Subwoofer almost nonexistant

    Summary: Being a sony fan, I was happy to see this system at a price I could afford.This system is neat, simple, easy-to-install (except the rear speaker wire, which, in order to run, as with most surround sound systems, you may have to drill holes in your floor ... read more

  • I am very pleased!

    Feb 04 '03
    Pros: Easy set-up, uses little space, sounds good, looks great.
    Cons: Not for audiophiles. Remote control feels fragile. Only works with included speakers, no others.

    Summary: My wife selected the DAV-C990 without my knowledge, and I was skeptical at first. I assumed that buying a DVD/receiver in one unit was like buying a TV/VCR combo. The price put me off a little as well. Then I set up the system. After tweaking ... read more

  • This "dream system" is a dissapointment

    Nov 01 '02
    Pros: Looks good. picture quality is great. Plays SACD's.
    Cons: Mine was broken! No SVCD or MP3 discs. Only average sound quality.

    Summary: Up until buying the "DVD Dream System" DAV-C900, I was a big fan of Sony products. For just a little more money, you got more features, and better quality/reliability, or so I thought. If you're new to home theater, or just want to set up a ... read more

  • Dream System? It may look the part, but Sony; Keep Dreaming!

    May 22 '02
    Pros: Looks very trick, fairly flexible, good picture, decent sound, PLAYS CDRs (finally)
    Cons: High priced (coming down though) looks much better than it sounds

    Summary: I don't want to make this sound completely negative from the get go...Sony makes some great consumer level products, so with that said, I'd like to NOT slughter this product *(like I did to MY Sony 1075 receiver) because you need to look at this product ... read more

    Cons: Speakers are deceptively weak,pricey
