Sony Bravia Theater DAV-HDX500 review: Sony Bravia Theater DAV-HDX500

 

Sony Bravia Theater DAV-HDX500

Home theater in a box with five-disc DVD changer; 480p, 720p, or 1080i HDMI output; height adjustable stand for main left and right speakers; spunky subwoofer; automatic speaker-calibration system; XM Radio-ready with XM HD Surround processing; decent...

Better for movies than music; does not include wireless speaker modules, unlike cheaper models in the same series.

The DAV-HDX500 delivers the best combination of features and value in Sony's Bravia home theater system line.

Sony may not have invented the Home Theater in a Box, but it's certainly gone a long way in perfecting the concept. Where most companies make just a couple of HTiBs, Sony has close to a dozen ranging from a cute "1000-Watt" system with a five-disc...

Surprised by Sound Quality

 

I'm not an audiophile but I think music sounds great on the system too. It's got 3.5mm input for mp3/ipod use, and mine came with a coupon for an iPod dock upon registration but I think that may be a temporary deal.

Absolutely fantastic sound for home theater use! I was skeptical of the sub woofer based on it's size. But somehow it manages to be crisp, punchy, and room-shaking when appropriate. Wow ; Also the microphone based auto configuration let's you "program"...

No HDMI input, but none of it's competitors do either. It does have a componenent in. Another review gives this unit low marks for inputs, but it's got more than most HT in a box solutions, especially in this price range. Just read the description or...
