Product Description
The wiring from the front of the room to the rear of the room is now gone. The DAV-HDX279W includes an iPod cradle, integrated five DVD/CD changer that can upscale your DVD to a full 1080p2 output making your movies look better than ever. The DAV-HDX279W is also equipped with a Digital Media Port that works with various accessories (sold separately), such as a PC Client Ready device, Bluetooth adapter and Audio Docking Stations compatible with select Walkman and iPod products. In conjunction with the DMP, Portable Audio Enhancer (with front input) provides the highest quality playback of your music into a traditional home theater system. The DAV-HDX279W can control a select number of BRAVIA televisions with BRAVIA Sync via the HDMI interface. With "One Touch Play," operations that took several steps have been reduced to one. This BRAVIA Theater System can also optimize the speakers to your room in just 30 seconds with Digital Cinema Auto Calibration.

Pretty good overall - but with some frustrating limitations December 23, 2008

All in all, it's fine considering I got a really good deal on it, just fell below my expectations. Had I paid full price I would probably have returned it.
Beware if you think you're getting into a simple "setup and go"/"plug & play" system. In my experience, you'll be lucky if you can get all 5 speakers working at the same time without major setup the first 5-10 times you use it with a different scenario (cable/dvr, dvd) and extensive reading. I have an HDTV & DVR and have been on the phone with tech support 3x. Just when I thought I was good, I come home to watch a concert DVD and the wireless speakers aren't working - have to again go through the process of pairing the S-Air unit. I also get a pretty substantial echo if I'm watching cable and have the tv sound on, my solution so far has been to just turn the tv all the way down - guess I'll have to call support again at some point.
Also, if you're buying it for the added iPod dock functionality beware that video does not work - only audio. So, if you have an iTouch or iPhone for example, you won't be able to see the display on your tv. This is a misconception by the folks in the local electronics superstore near you. Overall it's a fine system, just takes some getting used to...
