Sony HT-1300D Theater System

Pros: Lots of bang for the buck, another all-in-one winner
Cons: typical Sony mid-range timidness, inexplicably no CDR / RW

Sony's mid-level marketed HT-1300D gets the job done and done pretty well... This is the normal story, however before I begin this review, let me begin with my usual disclaimer; Sony products are not intended to compete with audiophile grade, so if...

Pros: Budget-priced, complete package, good sound for movies and music
Cons: Low-quality wiring in the box, won't rock the house

I actually have the HT-5100D which I believe is the exact same thing except it comes with a 5 DVD/CD disk player, and can decode DTS. I have a primary home system already (I've done a review for it...the Harman Kardon AVR 500) but was looking for...

Pros: Great starter system, surprising sound,not pricey.
Cons: DVD player doesn't play most CD-RWs. Not exactly a space-saver.

Pros: Affordable, sounds great, great base for a modular system.
Cons: A bit chunky.

Pros: Looks, Sound, Features, Price.
Cons: Instructions, Ease Of Use.

Intro... I bought this at...

I bought the Sony Ht-1300D at best buy. I just missed the sale so I had to pay 529 dollars. Than a hundred more for 5 yr warranty addition. Than a 100 dollars more for 4 stand for the speakers that attach on the...

Pros: Looks great, sounds good, solid performer for entry level system.
Cons: Difficult to understand initial set up and DVD player settings.

This system is perfect for those entering the home theater market. It looks great, sounds great and has adequate power for your surround system.

The best thing it's is home theater in one box.

Think of it as a home computer.
