Sony HT7200DH Review

The Sony HT7200DH is an ideal starter system for people just getting into the home theater market. This is my first time out using any kind of home theater system. Overall is sounds just great. Whether I play music or movies, they all sound really good. I especially enjoy the surround sound while watching movies.

Gosh, I can’t believe how easy it was to set up for a beginner. It has quite a few inputs, outputs and syncs. However the speakers and sub are not that great and therefore I would give them a poor rating.

If you don’t really know anything about theater systems, purchasing all of the components in the complete box is a good way to go for the novice. After thinking about it, even though I am happy with the system, if I were to purchase again, I would buy the individual components. I already had another set of quality speakers in another room that I attached to the system. They out perform the Sony speakers that came in the box. Read the Sony HT7200DH Review »

Sony HTDDWG700 Review

If you’re thinking about a simple upgrade from your current television speakers and want to enter the wonderful world of home theater ownership, you really can’t go wrong with the Sony HTDDWG700 component home theater system. For around two hundred dollars you get a receiver and five high quality speakers with an 8 inch active subwoofer for 5.1 surround sound. The unit produces a healthy 900 watts of power, which is perfect for a smaller room or if you don’t plan on making your neighbor’s teeth rattle. One of the added bonuses of this unit is the included iPod dock, which is a great feature to have considering the low price of the HTDDWG700.

If you’re thinking about purchasing the Sony HTDDWG700, know that it is definitely not for audiophiles. The receiver has limited capabilities and while the speakers do a great job, they are definitely not top of the line. The receiver also does not have HDMI input, so if you’re looking for a receiver to handle true HD pass through in the future, this is certainly not the one you’re looking for. The HTDDWG700 does have both coaxial and optical digital input, which offers two options for great sounding 5.1 surround sound from a standard DVD player. One common complaint with the HTDDWG700 is that they receiver seems a bit large for the performance it gives, so those with space concerns might want to look for a slimmer unit.

Overall the Sony HTDDWG700 offers a great value for what it offers at a low price, but those looking for more features should look elsewhere.

Sony HT-IS100 BRAVIA Review

If you’re looking to upgrade your current speaker system to something more robust or wanting to go beyond the limitations of your display’s built in speakers, then the Sony HT-IS100 BRAVIA micro system is something you might want to consider. The unit has built in sound processing, so you don’t need to have a receiver to enjoy 5.1 surround sound. It also offers one-touch operation of any compatible Sony devices. One of the biggest selling points of this unit, aside from the all-in-one functionality, is the size of the speakers. The HT-IS100’s speakers are fantastically small, roughly the size of a golf ball, and they produce rich and full bodied sound. The unit produces 450 watts of power, which is enough for most people who don’t want to anger their neighbors.

At around seven hundred dollars, the Sony HT-IS100 BRAVIA is fairly pricey so those on a budget might want to look at other products. And while it does all the processing needed, accepts up to 3 HDMI inputs as having a Digital Media that connects to a range of optional accessories like the included iPod dock, it does have limitations over having a stand alone receiver, so you should carefully consider your needs before purchasing the Sony HT-IS100 BRAVIA micro system.
