General Comments

The Sony DAV-SC5 generally is a great home cinema system all round, with nice looks, and all was going great for the first 18 months, but after owning it happily for 18 months the DVD component failed, and the standby also would not shut down, and just to make my day, it only had a 12 month warranty. N.Z$350 to repair. So personally I won't buy anything Sony from now on.

Good system shame about the internal workings.

    Exactly the same thing happened to my Sony DAV - SR3. 18 months after buying it the DVD failed and stand-by would not shut down.
