Sony DAV-DZ830 review

 

An affordable home-cinema system for style-conscious users who prefer a clean appearance to an unsoiled sound performance

Stylish and clean design ; Wireless rear speakers ; Automatic setup ; Natural images

Average build quality ; Fiddly installation ; Restricted features ; Sound lacks subtlety

Conclusion Ultimately, Sony's DAV-DZ830 is easier on the eye than it is on your ears -- it's a good-looking system that offers impressive image quality, but the powerful sound could be controlled with more refinement in certain areas. Still, at around...

The slimline speakers are mounted on height-adjustable stands and, while connecting the wiring through the stands is a fiddly process, it leaves an extremely clean appearance. And to control cable clutter even more one of the rear speakers carries a...

Super stylish, wireless rear connectivity, automatic calibration, decent picture quality

Great bit of Kit

I can only agree with the other reviewers that this is a great product (and a great price). Having toyed with the idea of getting the DAVIS10 I finally went for this one due to the wireless speakers and cheaper price tag. Sure the rear speakers are not...

Good Product, Pitty about amazons courier (HDNL)

Finally got this product today. Took a few hours to setup (but that included removing all the old equipment). At first I did think... OMG the speakers are so large... but now they are in place the setup looks good. Rear speakers as mentioned in other...

Excellent sound quality---really does upscale DVD to High Definition quality [picture and sound] on HD flat screen TV. Wireless rear speakers gives you so many options for positioning and speakers can be raised and lowered to suit seating levels.Listen...

Some of the sound fields sound very similar --- but hey that's nit picking

Fabulous piece of kit

 

Fabulous piece of kit

Bought this system about a month ago and I'm very impressed with it. The box it comes in is extremely lareg and heavy but it packs a whole load of kit into it. Construction of the stands is pretty simple (a screwdriver is all that is needed) and can be...
