    The system initially does wht it should but then dvda start to pause as if there is dirt on the disc but there is not. Then the system starts to jam and has to be rebooted (very annoying in the middle of a movie). Thext is the C13 error which cannot be fixed and Sony are no help. You are mad if you ...

    Love this machine for its looks and ease of operation. One truely compact device! The only draw back is that there is no "Eject Disc" button on controller - but hey got to keep moving in this life of "couch potatoes!!!!"

    Very good Movie sound on Sony DAV-S300. Small size is attractive. 6+ years and still works great. Finally used optical audio connection for use with Blue-Ray player and everything sounds great. Not the best solution for CD audio. Movies are what this system has been tweaked for. Will hang on bad ...

    Problematic from the start error c13. Sony do not advise on solution or even acknowledge the problem. Always bought SONY products. Never again. Bad buy. possible to find recalibrating process on the www. but it does not work in my experience.

    It worked well for about 18 months then... dead.

    It started slowly at first, with every 5th or 6th DVD getting the infamous C:13 error.
    It then moved to CD's, and now, the Sony DAV-S300 is only good for a speaker system for my cable television.

    It wasn't until I Googled the model name that I ...

    Had the Sony DAV-S300 system for over three years now with no problems at all. Will happily play DVD +R & DVD+RW discs burnt on my PC & Sony DVDR. Anyone managed to play DVD-R, DVD-RW Disks? Am about to get DVD Cam which uses these formats. Not a major issue as DVDR will play them anyway.

    I also was happy with the Sony DAV-S300, until I started burning my own DVD's and CD's, none would play. I got on to Sony who told me it was not designed to play any other disc's than the type on page 4 of the instructions. I found that DVD-R from RiDisc work, but still not found a CD-R that works.

    I bought a Sony DAV 300 2 years ago and I met no problems.
    Therefore as it doesn't read CD and DVD engraved at home (pictures/DiVX/...), I bought last week a DiVX player (sigmatek XM 400 Pro) in order to read CD & DVD R,RW, + & -, JPEG, and so on.
    Does somebody know how to connect one with the oth ...

    Bought my Sony DAV-S300 approx 3 years ago as my first home cinema unit. A little bit miffed that it didnt play CDR's, but DVDs are cheap to buy anyway so not too much of a problem I must be one of the luck ones as I have never even heard of the C13 error until I found this website (touch wood!!).
