Sony BDV-E880

Sony's Blu-ray system is packed with features but flawed sound quality lets the side down

Stylish looks ; Excellent picture performance ; Generous connections

Boomy subwoofer ; Fatiguing high frequencies ; No built-in Wi-Fi ; Plasticky build quality in places

The subwoofer is much better. It’s a squat cuboid shape, with four short legs giving the downward-firing driver and port underneath a bit of airspace. It’s a helpfully compact size and the neutral styling helps it blend discreetly into the room.

Sony BDV-E880 review

Supports high-def movie streaming but sound is disorganised

Good picture ; excellent streaming services, including HD films ; easy to set-up

Disorganised sound is a considerable disappointment ; no wi-fi as standard

A fair effort, but the smaller BDV-E380 is the superior Sony, while the Panasonic SC-BTT775 is considerably better balanced

Sony BDV-E880 review

This Sony home theatre system looks the business, but can it cut the audio mustard?

Stylish design ; Solid video performance ; Packed with features

Audio performance lacks weight ; Not the easiest system to get to grips with

Sony BDV-E880 review

Undoubtedly a slick looking home cinema system, but up are the sonics up to scratch?

Superb looks, picture and online services are let down by confused sound

Sony BDV-E880

The sound is extremely good and clear

Iplayer breaks Al the time needing the user to do a full system factory reset and it gets quite annoying having to setup the audio mic each time the Internet tv messed up

Awsome

This is one awsome stuff w.r.t both sound and video quality. The only concern is that it doesnt deliver sound upto the mark, if audio has been recorded in low bitrate. Something that I liked the most is that it has so many INPUT connections available...

Great Home Theatre System
