 Fine Piece of TechnologyFeb 16, 2008
By J. Woodard
I bought the DAVX10 from Amazon after doing a lot of research on 2.1 systems. The system out of the box is beautiful and solid. The sound is fantastic and is easily connected in about 5-10 minutes. I have mine connected with optical audio cable from my HD STB and HDMI cables. It works seamlessly with my Bravia KLD-52w3000 LCD. You cannot go wrong purchasing this home theater in a box if you want fantastic sound, virtually no intrusion into your living room with wires and huge speakers, and easy connectivity. I would like to also recommend purchasing the Sony TDM-iP1 iPod adapter. The sound from your iPod and controlling ability with the DAVX10 remote is fantastic.

 Pretty great but leaves you wanting moreFeb 20, 2008

I haven't tried everything this thing has to offer but after owning it for a week there are certain things I wish it did have.
Pros:
Good clean sound quality
Somewhat easy Setup
BlueTooth feature is AWESOME!!
Build Quality and profile are superb!
Cons:
Bass volume does not get nearly high enough
There is no HDMI inputs (only one HDMI output for the DVD player)
Does not integrate with brevia TV as great as they make it sound. It's fine but not anything to write home about. You could get this level of "integration" from any set
At loud volume, you hear a lot of white noise
The remote is still needed and cannot be consolidated with other Brevia remotes (you'll still need both for most functions)
Price is ridiculously high, and I only paid it for the form factor and the Brevia "integration" hoopla.
Overall: I am very happy with the unit, don't get me wrong, but I would not have paid nearly this much for it had I known ...
Update: Many years later, I still own this unit and still really like it. And I have to say, I don't know what I was thinking when I said the Bass volume doesn't get high enough, must have been setting something wrong at the time, because this thing has bass to compete with any home theatre.

Only from SonyMar 03, 2008
By Daniel L. Johnson
I got this thing on 12/24/07, hooked it up that day.
It does a great job up scaling the DVD. Crystal clear picture.
As for the sound, I think it sounds great for the size and number of speakers. Granted, it is not 5.1 surround. When listening to radio or a CD, the thing sounds great. Movies really come alive, you hear details your T.V.s speaker just wont produce. The subwoofer is strong, you can adjust the level to your liking unlike Bose, along with bass and treble adjustments. The simmulated surrond is okay for smaller rooms, like I said, it is not 5.1 surround. If you want that, go out and buy it. This is a great addition to any T.V. I have had no technical issues with this unit. It works as advertised. To me, It was well woth the price, all that with Sony quality. I did alot of research and this unit blows several $1,200 units out of the water for features and quality.

 Overpriced but does most things wellApr 27, 2008
By Patrick Han
Very visually appealing, but not much to this system.
It has radio function, but it's not even worth a bother because the reception is terrible (might be my apartment, but i really doubt it; the antenna sucks).
Audio is satisfactory, does what i expect from a top tier 2.1 system. Dont think that a very expensive 2.1 system will have as good of a quality as a much cheaper 5.1 system; go for the cheaper 5.1 system if you have the space.
I dont know about the dvd player though. I expected to see HD quality upscaling, but did not really see a very clear dvd. Maybe its just me and i need to see the side by side comparison. Or i may be just expecting upscaling technology to be more than what this dvd player does. But for now i will say the dvd picture quality is the same as a regular dvd player.
An HDMI audio in is missing and i am unhappy about that. At least it has optical audio.
I haven't tested the max bass, but it rumbles pretty dam good. I usually have the volume to 60% to not disturb the neighbors.
This system will make your friends jealous.

Excellent sound and connectivity, but no headphone jackApr 29, 2008

This is a very simple to install and great sounding system. Replaced a 5.1 speaker Harmon Kardon system and this unit sounds just as good or without all of the extras and speakers. The upscaling built-in DVD player is also a great feature. Beware: This unit sells for $599 from Sony and SonyStyle stores with free shipping (being discontinued in a couple of months according to SonyStyle store manager). I discussed this with Amazon, but they responded by raising the price and did not care that they have the highest price around. Shame on Amazon! Do Not: Purchase I-dock; system comes with a bluetooth receiver, buy the Sony compatible bluetooth adapter for Ipod (great price from Amazon). The Bad: Cannot connect standard headphones to the system; Sony will tell you to buy their RF enabled headphones to connect to the system.
