This HTIB is just what I was looking for. It offers enough punch in most fair sized rooms for a very good price compared to others on the market.
I had been looking for a system that would allow for HDMI video and sound and this unit has 3 HDMI inputs.
I was looking for a system that did not have a Blue Ray Player since I already have the PS3.
I was looking for a system that could handle my Satellite, PS3, and Xbox 360 and this one handles all of them like a champ.
I was hoping to get a receiver that would play well with my TV and this one syncs right to my Sony TV.
Hooked this thing up in under 1/2 hour and started playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and it really puts you in the action. There are sounds of bullets whistling by and bombs exploding and aircraft above and you are in the middle of it all. Awesome!!
The same goes for Blueray movies. You may wonder what all of the sounds are that are coming from your favorite movie. I never heard that before are comments you will be making with this unit hooked up.
It does a great job for HiDef movies from DirecTv as well.
Pros:
Great sound overall.
Syncs with other Sony devices.
Good price.
HDMI inputs for video and sound.
Cons:
Proprietary connectors.
No on screen display for adjusting the unit.
Sub, would have been nice powered.
All in all if you already have a Blue Ray unit and would like HDMI capabilities in your system than get this unit. You will be very happy.

This system works perfect with my Bravia TV and Sony Blu-Ray player. Sounds great too. I had to manually go in and lower the sub-woofer volume as it was a little loud out of the box but no big deal. I also had to extend one of the rear speaker cables because it wasn't long enough by about 3-5'. Other than that I'm very pleased with the product.

Sony product. Pretty much easy to set-up. The remote isn't 100% universal (as it was really designed for their Bravia TVs and Blu-ray DVD players) but nothing a true universal remote couldn't fix. Sleek, black, powerful. I would say good for a small to medium-sized room. Plenty of speaker wire for each speaker although it's kind of proprietary. 3 HDMI inputs, 1 Output, which is PERFECT for me (360, PS3, Dish Network DVR). Included microphone makes speaker setup easy but you can change each setting in the menu (which you can only see by looking at the front of the receiver). The only quirk I have (and this could be due to my Dish Network receiver) is sometimes it will forget that the program is in 5.1 and switch to 2 chan. I have to reset the receiver (But this only happened once). All in all, great product.

A lot of sound for the money.
Plenty of inputs/outputs and an excellent HDTV companion.

We purchased this unit from a Sony retail store after returning the Sony HT 500 sound bar system. It should have been the one we purchased originally but we were steered to the HT 500 because of it's claim of virtual surround sound. The SS 360 is a nice compact unit that compliments our Sony blu ray disc player. We purchased all Sony products because of the Sony Bravia Sync feature which we are having trouble trying to figure out. Contrary to other reviews, we think the sound is great. We don't have an issue with the fact that the sub woofer is hard wired but we agree with most that it does have a little too much bass, we'll fine tune it and see if that helps. It definately needs longer speaker wires for the rear surround sound speakers. We love the auto calibration feature of the speakers. The sound coming from the unit is great. We found it interesting that both the Sony retail store and Best Buy had the system hooked up incorrectly and not complete almost as if to steer you away from purchasing it. The sound coming from it in the Sony store was horrible and we were disappointed in its performance. We took a chance and purchased it anyway, got it home and immediately we were pleased with it.
