    This is a amazing setup piece of kit. The Sony DAVS550 is a bargain at only £350.00 from Richer Sounds Multi-Region Sony shop still selling at 450 region 2. The sound of this kit is awesome full of kicking bass at low volume. The picture quality is good with standard leads.
    Completely re ...

    Having just received the DAVS550 and never having had a full surrond sound system before, the sound quality and effects are awsome! No complaints about the product as yet.

    Set everything up last night, and it's very easy with the user-friendly colour coded wiring.

    Be warned that the unit has ...

    I'm pretty happy with the Sony DAVS550 home cinema system. I found that the five 80W speakers does a pretty good job at giving out the bass, where as some other home entertainment system doesn't (Many only with 30W to 40W). I tested the clarity and the blast, both were exceptionally good. You can ...

    Sony seem to have looked to the future in their latest models of home cinema. The 550 includes the latest Dolby support prologic II. Unless your a game fan you might not of heard about the new format.
    Dolby Pro Logic II allows for a standard stereo input to be plugged in to give full 5.1 Surround ...

    I just purchased a Sony DAV-S500 home cinema kit. I think it's great. Sony have really got a winner. It's very compact and has built in tuner. The picture is very clear and the sound's fantastic. Great value for money at £399 on the net. It does not have a scart, but comes with the cable you n ...

    THE SONY DAV-S500 DVD HOME CINEMA SYSTEM IS VERY EASY TO USE AND SETUP. PLAYS CDR DISCS AND ALSO SACD (SUPER AUDIO CD). SOUNDS GREAT, LOOKS GREAT AND VERY GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY. IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A BETTER SYSTEM AT A REASONABLE PRICE I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND THE PIONEER NSDV77

    Bought this Sony DAV-S500 DVD player after several weeks of looking at different products. In the end I went for it because Comet were doing a half price deal if I bought a certain TV and seeing as my old TV had packed up I bought it. All I can say is that I would have happily paid the full price fo ...
