for home theater can be fun but it can also reduce the most determined shopper to rabble. Why? Simply because today there is so much available in the market place that it has become a sea of confusion for many home theater enthusiasts.

The simple answer...if you're not sure stick with the brands you know such as Sony. Sony home theater has been a leader in the industry for many years has plenty to offer in the home theater arena.

Sony’s “Dream system” in home theater has been a popular seller and for very good reason. It's hard to beat for quality and value, two ingredients you always want to place at the top of your shopping list.

The dream system includes DVD player, CD player, tuner, DVD changer, CD changer, audio/visual receiver and plays CD-R, DVD-R, JPEG, CD-RW, DVD, CD, MP3, and DVD-RW options. The Sony home theater dream system can cost anywhere from $400-$1000 and can be found at most electronics stores.

Other Sony Home Theater Choices

One of the advantages with sticking with a major respected brand whether it's Sony, Panasonic, Samsung etc. is you basically get the "whole boot and caboodle" but more importantly, at a great price.

Let's take a look at some of the other home theater systems available from Sony.

Sony Compact Home Theater

Bravia Theater Micro System can adapt to just about any home theater plan. Yes, the powerful DAV-IS10/W 5.1 channel micro-satellite system can produce the kind of quality you crave for but technical positives aside, it's a great looking system and will mold into any surrounding. That's important for those guys who want to "hit a home run" with their wives.

It's price is between $700-$800 and while this is getting up there, it is not out of the reach of most home theater shoppers. It's the system you want if it's big sound quality that really gets you going.

For an extra couple of hundred dollars, Sony home theater has come up with a neat little package called the RHT-G800. This is about as compact as you can get in home theater and a real little charmer.

Do away with unsightly clutter with the RHT-G800 as this all-in-one system will punch out some serious surround sound. It's stand can accommodate up to a 46" television set and contains multi-channel built in surround speakers.

home theater units are excellent choices for those who may lack a little space in the set up area. They will slide into most restrictive space areas.

i want to purchase a sony home theater but am confused about which system to buy...so far i've seen the bravia?

the BRavia dav hdx277wc, the dav-hdx285, the dav-hdx274...i'm so confused...what's the difference between all of these..i thought the higher the number since as 285...that it would have more features right?...but it seems the 277 is more expensive....please help!
hdx277 does have hdmi...i wanna know wht's the difference between hdx277 and hdx285...the hdx277 is more expensive...why?

For that money you could get a system like mine - the HTDDWG800. It has the same codecs and such but it has more connectivity options. Plus, instead of it using a dvd player as the amp, it uses a proper reciever. DVD systems usually pale in comparison to proper systems, I discovered when shopping around, plus it becomes more useful in the long run because you can plug more stuff into it. Correct me if I am wrong, but the hdx277wc does not have a HDMI input, so you cant plug an xbox or a ps3 into it, so you cant exactly get the best sound out of blu rays if you ever get one as you are stuck with using the dvd player that comes with it.

I think it is much better to get a system with a proper amp, and if you shop around you can build your own system for cheaper.

Bear in mind that this was a glance at the system specs, so dont take it as facts.

Optical audio connection to home theater receiver?

My new Toshiba HDTV has an Optical Audio Out to carry the audio to my receiver. My older Sony home theater receiver has an Optical jack labeled "Video 2 In". I'm assuming that I can connect these two to take get the surround sound from off-air HDTV broadcast signals that I'm receiving on the Toshiba using an antenna. Can anyone verify that for me?

Yes, that should work...as long as the Video 2 in is in fact an optical jack. You would just need to set your receiver to the Video 2 setting in order to listen to the broadcast when you turn on your receiver. As far as surround sound, the broadcast that you're getting from the off-air antenna needs to be broadcast in 5.1, 6.1 etc. and your receiver needs to also be capable of producing it. But overall, you should be good to go.

We all know what a wonderful experience it is to go out on the town to a fabulous restaurant and then go on to the theater to hear the finest music or movie in town. Did you know that in these days of a tight economy you can pretty much duplicate that special evening in your own home with more privacy, greater comfort and far less money spent (over time)?

It is now easier and less expensive than ever to transform any room in your house into a home theater. Prices have gotten to the point where most people can afford high quality components. Most TVs employ stereo sound. Acoustic engineers have come up with great 2.1 systems that include two small radiating satellites and a subwoofer. Best of all, you can experience theater like surround sound with a 5.1,6.1 or 7.1 system.

You have center channel speakers that handle the local portion of your program and disseminate dialogue and narration, surround speakers provide wrap around audio effects, rear surround speakers add ambience to the scene and provide additional wraparound audio. Subwoofers handle low-frequency effects and most of all a good receiver gives you multi channel surround options.

The Sony Bravia DAV-HDX28 5.1 channel theater system is a great choice for the first-time home theater system buyer seeking to experience 5.1-channel surround sound, or a great value solution for a second home theater system in the house. It is always wise to begin with a smaller unit until you're really sure what you're looking for.

The Sony Bravia DAV-HDX28 5.1 is a perfect start-up system. It's a 5.1 channel theater system. Some of the features that you will enjoy is it's 5 DVD/CD changer. This system gives you 1000 watts of home theater power. It includes an iPod dock and a digital media port with DMport booster. It is also S-AIR ready (S-AIR technology transmits audio up to 164 feet from the main system) which means that you can add additional wireless rear speakers to the system to extend surround sound throughout your home.

The Sony 5.1 system is set up so that you can achieve optimal speaker placement in about 30 seconds thru the use of Digital Cinema Auto Calibration. The iPod cradle connects to a digital media port that allows iPod music and video to be played through your SONY home theater as well.

Another feature, digital media port booster technology enhances the sound quality of all audio and music video passing through the cradle accessory. In movie music mode, the Sony system automatically detects what is being played and automatically enhances the audio quality.

This system can upscale DVDs to 1080p high definition quality with the use of a HDMI cable when attached to a high definition TV set. As an added convenience, BRAVIA SYNC lets you connect products with HDMI and use one button from one remote to switch to the right input and begin playing.

And, perhaps best of all, the Sony Bravia DAV-HDX28 5.1 includes an easy setup disk that provides step by step instructions on how to set up the main unit, wire the speaker cables and calibrate all of the system speakers with ease.

If you want a unit that will allow you to grow as your interests and needs expand then look no further than the Sony Bravia DAV-HDX28 5.1 channel theater system!

Specific Set Of Speakers Have L/R Audio Channel Reversed - How Come?

I'm trying to set up my Surround Sound in my room, however I'm having trouble with a particular set of speakers. I have 2 pairs of powered speakers both plugged into the Rear and Front jacks at the back of my computer. The rear speakers work fine and on the test give me the correct channel sides, but the front ones don't. Aside from swapping the speakers round how else could I reverse the L/R channel of just this pair of speakers? Thanks

If you can't exchange the plugs, you'll have to move the speakers. I don't see any way around it since there won't be anything in the menu that would help and there won't be a switch.

The Sony Bravia KDL-46V3000 46" 1080p LCD HDTV is an elegant looking set with its piano black frame. The black finish is reflective, but not annoyingly shiny like a mirror as long as you don’t put it directly in front of a light source. It’s a serious looking LCD HDTV with its black finish and anti-glare screen. Not only does it look nice aesthetically, but it looks awesome where it counts the most, the picture.

The picture, like the Sony Bravia V2500 models, looks amazing. No annoying glares will ruin your viewing experience and the fogging that hit some of the owners with the V2500 model is gone. If there are any, you must be unlucky. The Sony Bravia KDL-46V3000 1080p LCD HDTV has a 60 Hz refresh rate while the higher end models have 120 Hz so the motion blurring will not be as smooth as the more expensive sets. That doesn’t mean it’s blurry though. It’s still pretty smooth during fast action sequences and you probably won’t be able to tell anyway when playing HD content.

The Sony Bravia KDL-46V3000 1080p LCD HDTV up-scales 480i standard definition content with its Reality Creation Multi Function v1.0 technology and you can see that it truly helps make SD stuff less horrible than it otherwise should be. This basically means watching standard programming is good, but not at the level you’re used to when watching with a CRT, but also not as bad as many other LCD TVs.

The black and the contrast is good unlike what has been expected of LCDs. The colors are rich and the picture comes to life more so than other LCD HDTVs. Side by side with the Samsung or Sharp, the Sony looked better. In fact it can even compete with some of the plasma TVs out there. Just switch to normal mode and not use vivid mode and make some tweaks from there to your liking and the image will be near perfect. Try sharpening the image and increasing the black.

Configuring the settings in the Sony Bravia KDL-46V3000 1080p LCD HDTV is a breeze with the highly regarded XMB menu system that’s also in the PS3. Speaking of the PS3, watching blu-ray on the KDL-46V3000 is simply stunning. If you don’t have a PS3 or a Blu-Ray player, you need to get one if you’re getting an HDTV. HD-DVD is dead.

The Sony Bravia KDL-46V3000 1080p LCD HDTV does not have PIP or picture in picture, but it does have P&P or picture & picture. You can play video from two input sources at the same time, but only from HDMI, TV tuner, and video on the left side of the TV and component on the right. That means no watching HDMI & HDMI at the same time. It’s not a deal breaker since the picture quality is way up there.

Sound quality is good should you choose not to invest in a home theater surround sound system, but it does lack some oomph in the bass department. It’s much better than many LCD panels out there considering how small the piano black frame is.

I recommend the Sony Bravia KDL-46V3000 1080p LCD HDTV if you don’t want to spend a few extra Ben Franklins on the XBR4 and you don’t want the older, but still excellent KDL-46V2500. You can’t go wrong with this choice and it’s one of the best bangs for the buck.

I get a no signal message in my Bravia tv when trying to connect a sony home theater trough HDMI connection?

I connected my xbox in the same HDMI port and it worked with the same HDMI cable.

The best way is to go from the tv output to the home theatre with a/v cables. Make sure you turn the sound down when you change to a different input

The Sony HT-CT100 home theater system is a two-part system, comprising of a small sound-bar that is designed to fit on a TV stand and a decent sized sub-woofer where all of the electronics and connections are located. The speaker of a modest size, measuring at 2.75 inches high and 2.6 inches deep. Its 31.5-inch width is also slightly shorter than many other sound-bar systems in the market. This size would go well with 32-inch TVs and other larger models.

A close inspection of the Sony HT-CT100 home theater system will reveal three oval-shaped 1.6- by 2.8-inch drivers. The 4.4-pound satin-finished black plastic cabinet and perforated metal grille speaker (it has keyhole slots) can be wall mounted. If you are going to wall mount the speaker, accommodations will have to be made for the cable that needs to be permanently connected to the sound-bar.

All of the HT-/CT100 system's connections are located on the back panel of the sub-woofer. They consist of three HDMI inputs, four digital audio inputs (one coaxial and three optical), an analog stereo port and one Digital Media Port connector.

They have included the standard Dolby and DTS surround sound processing modes in the Sony HT-CT100 home theater system. For Blu-ray movies, it can also process uncompressed PCM sound formats. No doubt that if you are looking for a home theater system at a modest price, this system will make a good choice for a modest sized living room, bedroom or den. The audio quality produced is surprisingly good considering its size. Action movies, classical music and rock concerts sounded very well when played on this system. I will give this sound system 4 out of 5 stars.

Can I use my SONY Home Theater receiver and speakers, bought in the US, in the UK with a voltage converter ?

Am I missing any audio signal incompatibility or 50/60 Hz issues here ?

You can, but make sure your power converter supports the max Wattage of your receiver.
