Sony DAV-FX10 Reviews

Expert review by: Steve Guttenberg (cnet.com)

Sony DAV-FX10

Attractive design; five-disc slot-loading DVD/SACD/CD changer/receiver; microsize satellite speakers; standard-size subwoofer.

The receiver/DVD changer takes up a lot of shelf space; inability to modify bass, treble, or subwoofer volume; meager input and output options; confusing onscreen setup menus.

The Sony DAV-FX10 delivers the goods as an affordable and attractive home-theater solution, but competitors offer more for less.

"Not bad overall"

The sound quality of this system is good for those wanting to step up to a medium duty low price HTIB. Good selection of sound fields to deal with the viewers tastes and situations.

good pre selected sound variety

That crazy disc changer

"I have patience but this super slow Home Theater System is ridiculous!"

Do not buy this model! I bought this Dream System 1 year ago for $420 and sometimes I feel like throwing it through the window. It takes forever to read any CD/DVD and I consider myself a very patient individual. Ejecting CDs is also extremely tough...

1000W! With Lots of Work & A Bunch Of Time You Can Make It Sound Good.

Its Extremely Slow & Its Not Easy To Make Sound Adjustments

"Great Package! Awesome sound."

First I'd like to say that I was very impressed with this system. The sound this baby puts out is awesome! I read a few reviews before i wrote this, and not everything is true. The subwoofer IS adjustable(+/-6) and each channel can be adjusted(time...

Clear, crisp, powerful sound, decent inputs, plays super audio cd's, very streamlined.

If you lose the remote you're SOL(except for the basic functions) disc changing/loading/ejecting is on the slow side

"Great Sound"

Sony has always had a place at my house. Always satisfied with sound quality and dependability. This digital head unit does take up a lot of space so be sure that it will fit in the cabinet you intend to put it in. Finally they give you enough speaker...

Lots of Soundfield Options and lots of Inputs

Not enough amplification and a passive sub, slow loading of DVDS

Average

Well it didnt have HDMI and the remote is pretty bad and the disc changer is awful. The sound quality was ok but i dont believe Sony's dubious clame of 143 watts a channel or the 285 for the sub.

Love it!

All I can say is I've never had a problem with the Sony DAV FX 10 DVD dream system. Sound is awesome, DVD works like a dream! I'm glad I purchased it.

wish it worked with 3rd generation...

After tons of research and buying the wrong iHome product (iH6), I now have an iH5 which is supposed to work with a 3rd generation iPod and does not. So now I have a very expensive alarm clock and a dock for my iPod. Having contacted the seller and...

Consider Another Product

I received my iHome as a birthday present last year. It worked great for about a year and a half, then it stopped playing my iPod. I would have to move my iPod back and forth to find the right spot in order to hear it through the speakers. I wasted so...

Fantastic. . . until it broke

I bought the iHome IH5 Clock Radio about 9 months ago. Up until now it has been a wonderful thing to have. I loved being able to listen to my own music while waking up. The remote control allowed me to adjust the volume, skip songs, hit the snooze...
