Let me list the problems I found with this system which are not highlighted by others:
This home theater has very good sound quality when playing DVDs but when listening to Cable box audio thru digital optical audio input the sound levels deteriorate drastically even when the cable box feeds dolby 5.1 input.
Its not very user friendly to change the sound modes from the remote as you have to press multiple buttons to select the desired sound setting
The most annoying problem with this device is that it always processes optical audio input even you have something connected to the RCA audio inputs (For eg: gaming console). There is no option on the remote to switch from optical audio to RCA input other than physically disconnecting power to your cable box if you have to feed audio from your gaming console.
I have a 4th generation ipod and the system plays tracks from it without any issues but it does not display the ipod menu on the TV screen. You can navigate the ipod from the ipod screen alone (even though you can change tracks from the home theater remote). This is annoying as every time you have to change a track you need to go near your ipod and switch the track. A similar system from panasonic (SC PT760) beautifully displays ipod menu on the TV screen. I dont know if this problem exists with other generation ipods too. Sony has not mentioned this anywhere in the manual.
Finally the sony tech support for home theaters sucks big time. Dont waste your time trying to call them. They are not of much help.

For the price, I am blown away at the sound quality this system produces. I have it set up in a 15' x 20 ' living area & it fills that space & more with rich, full sound. Setup was a breeze also. The wireless speakers work perfectly, no distortion or dropped sound. This unit works flawlessly with my PS3. I have it hooked up to my 46" LG LCD hdtv, but they work very well together despite being different brands.
The only issue with this unit to me is the lack of inputs. For the price & sound quality though, this is not a hassle to me.

What an awesome deal! I was thoroughly empressed with the setup and the sound. This is a great buy for the price! I highly recommend this setup. I am not technically savvy and it was easy for even me to put together. LOVE the ipod connection. It charges as well.

Good: Sounds very good. Crisp. Well developed components. Connection is a breeze.
Bad: To use rear speakers, you have to use wireless system. I had the whole house wired for surround sound, however, I can not use them as the system makes you use their wireless components.
Ugly: You can not control individual channel. REMOTE CONTROL. come on SONY. It has many functionality...But you need a SONY TV and everything to make use of them. It works only with SONY.
Satisfied...I guess OK....But have many reservations....For $325.00, is it worth the money.... I guess no....

This is my first Home Theater System purchase and I love it! I was considering the Panasonic SCPT670, but I heard there is a common issue with it so I turned to this one. The only problem I am having with this system is that it only has one Input, a coaxial and digital. I had to buy a digital cable along with this system to be able to have surround sound with my PS3 and XBOX360. But I can always buy a better receiver that has multiple inputs for convenience. Other than the single input, everything is perfect!. If you are considering on buying a Home Theater System, I highly recommend this one.
Pros:
+ Good sound quality
+ Wireless rear speakers
+ Easy setup, very intuitive
+ Sleek and stylish
+ Comes with an iPod dock, most HTS don't come with one
Cons:
- Only one input
