Sony DAV-C900 Theater System

Pros: Looks, ease of setup, picture quality, inputs, features
Cons: Price, speakers, remote designed for looks, not for functionality

The Sony DAV-C900 is a complete home theater package that includes a 5-disc DVD/CD changer that also plays SACD, four surround speakers with stands, a center speaker and a subwoofer.

Style

The system looks nice with...

Pros: Looks very trick, fairly flexible, good picture, decent sound, PLAYS CDRs (finally)
Cons: High priced (coming down though) looks much better than it sounds

I don't want to make this sound completely negative from the get go...Sony makes some great consumer level products, so with that said, I'd like to NOT slughter this product *(like I did to MY Sony 1075 receiver) because you need to look at this product...

Pros: Price, Features, Sound Quality, Subwoofer, Styling, Etc...
Cons: Sound Can Get Tinny During Music Or When You Need It Loud

I have had the chance to hear out the Sony DAV-C900 Dream Home Theater system. I have noticed that Sony's new home theater and speaker packages have become more popular. I did not like the previous system because the speakers seemed a little too weak and...

Pros: Looks good. picture quality is great. Plays SACD's.
Cons: Mine was broken! No SVCD or MP3 discs. Only average sound quality.

Up until buying the "DVD Dream System" DAV-C900, I was a big fan of Sony products. For just a little more money, you got more features, and better quality/reliability, or so I thought.

If you're new to home theater, or just want to set up a...

Pros: Great appearance, nice clear sound, intuitive use, space saving design, adequate subwoofer
Cons: Awful remote, no menus while operating, lack of inputs, not sure looks justify price premium

There's really no mistaking this unit: the brushed metal stands, the long rectangular prisms for sp ...

Pros: SACD capability, 5 disc DVD; DTS + Dobly; CDR+VCD readable!
Cons: bass too soft; need to put some lights on the remotes; lack of inputs

The system is packaged in a 35kg box that will fit behind a truck or the first seat of a larger coupe. First of all, it only took 30 minutes to setup this system. The speaker wires are color-coded to the speaker and the receiver. Under the speaker...

Pros: appearance, high quality, bang for the buck, simplicity, ease of use
Cons: poor remote, limited expansion options, slow disc changer, limited amplifier controls

Right now, I'm kicking back in my living room enjoying my Sony DAV-C900 DVD Dream Home Theater System. I'm using digital cable to pipe in commercial free audio. I've now owned the C900 for just shy of a year, and this household has been very happy with...

Pros: compact, modern, sleek, all latest techs, great sound
Cons: 600 watts total ,Subwoofer almost nonexistant

Being a sony fan, I was happy to see this system at a price I could afford.This system is neat, simple, easy-to-install (except the rear speaker wire, which, in order to run, as with most surround sound systems, you may have to drill holes in your floor...

Pros: Easy setup, looks and sounds great
Cons: Slow, crappy remote, little bass

This system is a great entry level home theater system. The wires are color coded and labled making setup a breeze even for the novice. The floor mounted speakers look great and running wire under the carpet is much easier than mounting speakers on the...

Pros: Great Looking, Value, Clarity , Ease of Use, SACD
Cons: Lack of Power, Slow Change of Discs

I had been looking to purchase a home theater system to compliment my 36" Sony Vega, and found the perfect match in the DAV-900 after reading a favorable review in a local magazine.

-THE PURCHASE-
I purchased the system from 6ave.com for...

Pros: Easy set-up, uses little space, sounds good, looks great.
Cons: Not for audiophiles. Remote control feels fragile. Only works with included speakers, no others.

My wife selected the DAV-C990 without my knowledge, and I was skeptical at first. I assumed that buying a DVD/receiver in one unit was like buying a TV/VCR combo. The price put me off a little as well.

Then I set up the system. After tweaking...

Pros: Looks nice. Compact
Cons: Never worked!

I bought this system because it looked great, and I've had good luck with Sony in the past. A friend of mine also has the same system and seems to be happy with it. That's why I was hugely disappointed when I took it out of the box, and it would...

Pros: The best all in one system for the money
Cons: sound fields are ok, but i would rather have 7 band EQ

This system is so easy to setup. Sony did an excellent job packaging this thing. For instance, the surround speakers come with 50 feet of speaker wire each. The C900 is the top of the line dream system, and what hooked me was the speaker stands. Heck, a...

Pros: good looks, modern design, all-in-one package
Cons: terrible software and quality

Looks aside, this Sony package is a total let down. Generally, the package looks good, but the gray ...

Pros: Very sleek, cool look, easy to set up, easy to use
Cons: Not upgradeable

I like the system over all, but there are a couple of things that bother me about it. First and foremost is the fact that I can't add any components to it. I have other equipment (VCR, Video Game Console) that I want to add, but can't. In this aspect,...
