The System Initially Does Wht It Should But Then D
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 buy this system. I would not buy another Sony cinema system after own this one and have now switched by brand purchases to Panasonic and Samsung

Great Sound, Easy To Set Up, Fm Tuner A Great Feat
Great sound, easy to set up, FM tuner a great feature. Doesn't recognise many dvds - deteriorated quickly. Not good enough from sony. Much cheaper brands perform well or better.

Very Good Movie Sound On Sony Dav-s300. Small Siz
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 discs, but generally no issues.

Problematic From The Start Error C13. Sony Do Not
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.
I found this review very helpful because...I have been getting the C13 error since I bought my system four years ago and thought it had to do with dirt in the system. The error does not only cnse the blus screen, it also cuses the disc to jam and pixolate.

It Worked Well For About 18 Months Then... Dead.
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 found out I was not alone.
A very expensive lesson, but not one soon forgotten..
Research before you buy.

Had The Sony Dav-s300 System For Over Three Years
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 S
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 have a Panasonic SC-HT70 and I would like to know how can I play in my system a film recorded in a DVD-R in my home, because when I put it in the system it says "No play or the playback feature" I don't know, something like that and I can't see the film. I want to know the regional setting code unlock for this system because I want to see all the film that I record in my home. Please, somebody, help me. I'll appreciate your help. Thanks.
Hey I got good news.........Had loads of probs trying to burn video files from hard drive to DVD and play on my DAV-S300. Using dvdSanta software I was able to burn video files on TDK - "DVD-R" discs as I was informed by a lad in my local "Peats" electronic store that the older DVD players like mine preferred to be fed with "DVD_R" discs. .........Hope this helps someone out there................
I've also had probs with CD-R and DVD+RW. Won't read. Keeps asking to insert disk. Trying to burn from Sony camcorder using "sonic" as sony software keeps looking for a compatable drive. Help help help.
I have the same problem! CD-R doesn`t work, but CD-RW works well. Now, I would like to use DVD-R and I`ll have this problem again. DVD-RW is very expensive to try. Isn`t there one way to do this? Changing the software, for example?
