by rdoig777 , Aug 20 '03
Pros: Pretty to look at, and clear sounding
Cons: poorly designed remote,a little pricey but it is a Sony, so what to you expect.
Overall, I liked the system. It is a little pricey though. But I got mine on sale for $1199 Canadia ...

A very nice, if limited, package

by rsung , Jul 29 '03
Pros: Great appearance, nice clear sound, intuitive use, space saving design, adequate subwoofer
Cons: Awful remote, no menus while operating, lack of inputs, not sure looks justify price premium
There's really no mistaking this unit: the brushed metal stands, the long rectangular prisms for sp ...

Shallow - all looks with nothing inside

by spikeyhairguy , Jul 25 '03
Pros: good looks, modern design, all-in-one package
Cons: terrible software and quality

As cool to look at as to listen to..

by mattwb72 , Jun 05 '03
Pros: Easy setup, looks and sounds great
Cons: Slow, crappy remote, little bass
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...

Save yourself a nightmare, buy something else

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

Great for a Beginner

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

almost a dream

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

I am very pleased!

by cnjb , 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.
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...

I've had the C900 for a year and have been very happy

by rpilaud , Jan 30 '03
Pros: appearance, high quality, bang for the buck, simplicity, ease of use
Cons: poor remote, limited expansion options, slow disc changer, limited amplifier controls
Right now, I'm kicking back in my living room enjoying my Sony DAV-C900 DVD Dream Home Theater System. I'm using digital cable to pipe in commercial free audio. I've now owned the C900 for just shy of a year, and this household has been very happy with...

This "dream system" is a dissapointment

by benminer , 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.
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...

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

by nick1326 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, 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
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...

Superb Dream system

by mrsnetpro , May 04 '02
Pros: Outstanding Quality, sound, value.
Cons: Must have the manual handy
After looking around for a system that contained outstanding quality, sound and value we settled on this unit. While it requires reading the manual and having it handy at all times to make those required adjustments based on what you watch, it is worth...

Dream or Nightmare?

by ats3322 , Mar 28 '02
Pros: 5 CD changer for DVD/CD, flashy looking speakers, 450 watts of speaker power
Cons: Speakers are deceptively weak,pricey
Generally, Sony's products are well-worth their inflated prices. However, in this case one cannot be so sure. Sony has once again created a aesthetically attractive product fit for almost every family room. Yet, better systems exists and even some for...

by soupcraze Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Mar 01 '02
Pros: Price, Features, Sound Quality, Subwoofer, Styling, Etc...
Cons: Sound Can Get Tinny During Music Or When You Need It Loud
I have had the chance to hear out the Sony DAV-C900 Dream Home Theater system. I have noticed that Sony's new home theater and speaker packages have become more popular. I did not like the previous system because the speakers seemed a little too weak and...
