2. I think we have some Sony reps on here posting 5 stars and phrases like "Sounds Great" because the first thing I noticed was the lack luster sound for being 650 watts.
   
   The volume indicator only goes from 1-40. 40 seems like an incomplete number on a volume scale , and it seems to be very indicative of the seeminly lack of volume at MAX. The bass was practically non existant , even after flipping through the cumbersome menu to raise to 6 (its max). There is no boost for the front speakers, only balance, sheesh! Overall I thought the speakers had a very "canned" mid-range sound. I would give the over all sound a 5 out of 10. My old 400 watt panasonic actually sounded better.
   
   Didn't notice any difference with "night mode" on.
   
   Didn't notice any difference when setting surround speaker distance.
   
   Didnt notice hardly any difference when setting center speaker level.
   
   There are no nail holes in the back of the speakers, so be prepared to by your own speaker mounts. I thought this was TOTALLY lame.
   
   Any plusses? The no brain speaker wire hookup makes it easy. The separate buttons and lights for loaded DVDs is cool.
   
   Maybe if it was cheaper than the $299 retail price it would have deserved 3 stars but this thing is a solid 2.

   It died after owning it for 15 months.
   I wish I had taken it back when I first got it.
   Poor quality sound, now poor reliablity.
   Downgraded to 1 star.
   
   
   Oh and the SONY autmated phone system that steps you though about 30 questions for about 20 minutes and then says, "sorry no one is available during non business hours" is the most stupid thing I have ever heard of.



3. If there was an option to rate this system with 0 stars, that would have been my pick. First of all, Sony has always been known for its impressive line of electronics and certain entertainment systems, but I must say I am extremely dissapointed with this system. It was enough that the music sounded like trash because no sound came from the smaller speakers, proving that this system was not made for parties or using it as a source of "surround sound". Another issue that bugged me beyond belief was the fact the system takes about a minute to turn on, as if its a damn computer. Forget about switching between CD's, that takes about a minute between each one to load as well. The Volume button is also frustrating because they are buttons and not a knob. For someone who enjoys to partake in a loud music session once in a while, this system is not for you. If you had a chance to see how loud it gets, you would be very upset, because it almost could compare to the loudness of a boombox or even worse a COBY system. Hate to see this from a line like SONY, but its the truth and its sad.



4. I bought this system 10 months ago, and initially I was pleased... simply because it was a big step up from what I had before. That's not saying much, though. I would strongly advise others to purchase a different system. I can't comment intelligently on sound quality, but this home theater in a box lacks some basic and important features:
   
   No random, which is bad if you are just listening to music.
   
   No zoom.
   
   You also can't continue to play a disc while changing others. You also will lose your spot if you attempt this.
   
   Oh, and mine stopped working... that's the main one.
   
   Guess I was naive and expected more from sony.



5. Average system. I was happy when I brought it, especially because of ease of setup and also as I own a Sony TV, I can operate with one remote.
   
   Points to consider before you buy
   1. Not very many inputs and outputs. (If you want to route audio of multiple system like TV, computer, audio systems you have to keep switching wires same with video if you have a TV and a projector).
   2. The DVD changer is a bit on the slow side.
   3. No zoom, which is annoying some times
   4. The sound is OK not very great.

1. I am not an audiophile. I bought this unit for a small apartment living room. This is the second home theater I've owned. I had a Panasonic HT-P38, but was unhappy with it and returned it within 30 days. I've had this JVC now for about two months and am very happy with it.
   
   What I like about it:
   
   -Easy control of speaker output settings from the remote.
   -Good bass (as low as 30 Hz) from subwoofer.
   -Clear sound from center and satellite speakers.
   -"Play and exchange" disc changer which allows you to continue playing a disc without interruption while at the same time exchange discs in one of the five separate disc trays.
   
   Some issues I've had:
   
   -Rear satellite speakers are awkward to mount due to poor design. There is a keyhole mount hole toward the top of the speaker, but there are small peg-like protrusions which will not allow the mount to attach. I ended up using the alternate screw-hole mount toward the bottom of the speaker, which looks awkward and puts more torque on the mount.
   -VERY short front speaker wires. Since the wires on all the speakers are hard-wired into the cases, I could not replace the wires, but had to buy extra wire to make a splice so that it would reach the speaker hook-ups at the rear of the sub-woofer.
   -Relatively few inputs.
   -Poor FM reception.
   
   So while there are a few issues I have to work around, over all I'm happy with this unit.
