Sony HT-SS2300

The Sony HT-SS2300 is designed to compliment your new HDTV and Blu-ray disc player perfectly. The styling matches that of Sony's current Blu-ray players perfectly.

Great unit for the price.

I just picked one of these units up and am glad to say that I'm pleasantly surprised. I bought a refurbished unit from sony.com so I was a little scared but for $319.00 I figured I'd take the chance. The unit arrived within three days, in perfect...

Clear Hi's and Low's ; Easy to set up and customize ; Low profile receiver is easy on the eyes ; Three HDMI inputs / One HDMI out ; Price

Few people have complained about the customization of the unit but after a few minutes of reading the instructional booklet I was ready to go

Best Bang for your Buck

This is my first surround sound system and I'm glad I bought it. My living room is medium sized but this is more than enough for my needs. I actually hv the Bass at -4 right now and it still pounds. I also hv a matching Sony S550 BD to go along with...

3 HMDI, Bravia Sync, Price, Style, Lots of options for sound profile, Sony, & overall sound

WIRES!!! Set-up was fairly easy but does take time if you don't want any wires to show

The Sony HT-SS2300 does the job well.

I am a big Bose fan and have been for many years. I have a system built around 901 speakers in the living room and 301s in my home office. As hard as I tried I just could not justify spending the extra dollars on components for the home theater after...

Low foot print ; Decent Sound for the price ; Easy Set Up ; Love the way the system calibrates itself with it's own microphone. Need to move a speaker or your viewing position? No problem just hook up the mic and press a button. Nicely engineered

Unless you add Sony components to the unit you should plan on collecting and using multiple controllers

Menu system can be clumsy at times

The best $300 I have ever spent!!

I spent about six months researching sound systems. I stumbled upon this one pretty early on and never found another system that could compete with it. Now I've had the system for about a year. In that time I've played hours of PS3 on it, watched about...

SONY WARRANTY NOT WORTH THE PAPER PRINTED ON

System worked great for 5 months. Then all of the sudden it stopped sending the video signal to the tv (SONY 52" Bravia HD LCD). It continued to send the audio signal. Sent it to SONY service center in Laredo, Texas at my expense ($51). They sent...
