General Comments

The Sony DAV-SC5 is a very slick and stylish machine. Speakers could of been a bit easier to mount on walls though.
I have had to have my first one replaced within a day due to no output from 2 of the speakers. Second system, failed at Christmas with the DVD motor failing. This was sent back and is just about to be totally replaced after 7 weeks at a Sony approved warranty centre. I believe the build quality inside is not great and was told many of these had gone back to Sony (Sony's leadtime for replacing internal parts on these is 4 months). Looking forward to having a replacement back however as was superb and easy to use.
