Product Description
Indulge your senses with this 5.1 channel CD/DVD BRAVIA Home Theater System surround sound system with player for up to 5 DVD or CD discs. The Sony DAV-HDX275 BRAVIA Theatre System includes 1000-watts total of home-theater surround power, 5 speakers, a subwoofer, and an included iPod Dock. The DAV-HDX275 can control many Bravia-Sync compatible TV models via the HDMI interface. With One Touch Play, operations that took several steps have been reduced to one.

Regardless of how you store your music, Sony's DIGITAL MEDIA PORT offers expansion to many other devices (optional accessories may apply). Now the optimal speaker settings for your living room are only a press of button away. Speaker placement, distance, and delays are all calibrated automatically to ensure a worry free listening experience. A powerful Digital Signal Processor is used to expand the quality from any device that is connected. Select(TM) from the on-screen display to configure the system for a different speaker layout.

5 out of 5 stars Bravia DAV-HDX275 Rocks!   November 23, 2008
K. Fallon (Fall River, MA United States)
This thing sounds and looks great. I purchased the HDX275 with my Bravia 52" LCD. I figured the two would compliment each other and was I right. The sound is incredible and the auto calibration worked like a charm. I used a standard definition DVD (Alladin the Disney Movie) with lots of music and drama to see what it could do and I was blown away. The sound is incredible.

The price is small and the sound is big. Quality unit for the price. Buy it.



5 out of 5 stars awesome sound for the price   November 20, 2008
Rupesh Kumar (rolla, MO United States)
I got this home theater as a bundle with my new sony TV. So basically it came out free for me. So i cannot complain for the price. I also purchased the speaker stands. Overall sound is great hence the 5 star. Here is my observation after last 1 month of use.

Pro's:
Setup was easy
sound is awesome (as per price)
long wires to go around the room (I am guessing the wires for surround rear speaker are ~50 feet)
comes with a microphone to tune the system according to your room, etc
FM / AM / DVD / TV modes work great

Cons:
has only 1 analog audio input. so if you are toggling between PC and TV and game consoles, you have to get to the back of this system and plug / unplug each time.

there is only 1 HDMI out.

does not have a graphic equilizer. I like to set the type of sound using graphic equilizer, but this set does not have this feature. It has only two modes - audio and movie. these modes are great but do not enhance certain type of sounds which I would like to. Overall sound is great hence the 5 star.



4 out of 5 stars Nice system   November 13, 2008
Le V. Huynh
This all in one package Sony DAV-HDX275 system is bang for the buck. I got it for $225 plug tax and free shipping was a deal to steal. The 5-disc upconvertion DVD player is a plus and with crisp digital 5.1 sound along with a good solid bass. I would recommended it and Amazon shipping was awesome got it 4 days.

4 out of 5 stars A great system *for the price*   September 28, 2008

I consider myself to be a bit above the average, casual listener. I am on a temporary assignment in another country and I needed a system that was good enough to perform as my main system and also, cheap enough that after 18 months, can be disposed of with no feelings of financial irresponsibility. This price range was perfect for me. After listening to all-in-one systems in this price range from JVC, Panasonic, Samsung, Sharp and quite a few others, I went with the Sony.

This little system does not disappoint at all. It is nowhere as full featured and the sound is nowhere as 'rich' as a full separates system, but it gives sound that is quite good and ultimately, very listenable if you aren't a constant, critical listener. If you aren't much of an audiophile or just want something to use as a second system in another room outside of your main listening room, you would be well advised to add this system to your short list. It has the all important home theater A/V features and formats so it pretty much plays anything you throw at it (within reason).

As mentioned by a previous reviewer, the major drawback for me is the system does not memorise the sound settings per input so if you like your TV in ProLogic II but your radio listening to be in regular 2-channel stereo, you will have to manually change decoding modes when you switch back and forth between sources. It can get annoying.

An additional drawback is that the user interface and remote control is quite confusing - which for me, is strange for a Sony product. Having said that though, unless you are a constant tweaker, after the initial setup and customization, you really don't have to deal with anything other than the standard settings which are easy enough to maneuver through.

The system allows for 1 additional input so plan out your use for this system very carefully. This is not meant to be the heart of a multi-source system! Of interest is the inclusion of an iPod dock. I can't give any feedback on this as I think I must be one of the remaining 3 persons in the world who do NOT have an iPod. It is a neat addition however and it adds to the overall utility of the system.

Finally, I do not see any way whatsoever to program the remote to control components by other manufacturers. Thankfully, I connected this system to a Sony TV; however, there doesn't seem to be any way to program my cable box, so I have to use the remote control for that in addition to the Sony remote. You may want to either buy an additional, programmable remote control that suits your purposes.

Still, in spite of these small issues, I am largely happy with my purchase. Were it not for the lack of programmability for the remote control and the inability to memorise sound formats per input, I would have given 5 stars... for the price! :)
