The Sony Bravia DAV-HDX267W Home Theater System, Cheap Price for a Not-So-Cheap Sound
The Sony Bravia DAV-HDX267W home theater system redefines what most home theater in a box may not have: a $400 price tag with decent 5.1 surround sound quality.
Everything comes in the home theater system box, including a 5-disc DVD changer and a six-piece satellite/subwoofer speakers, but what makes this more of a bargain is the wireless feature. The design of the home theater system is pretty much basic unlike some of its more classy brethren like the Sony Dream systems, but everything is straight to the point and easy to use.
The 5-disc changer, for example, has a five button selector for those who wants to change discs on the sly, but took about half a minute to swap between discs and about 15 seconds to load. It weighs close to 12 pounds with the size of 3.5x17x17.25 inches. As for the remote, you can tell it's almost the same as most Sony DVD players.
The front speakers of the home theater system measure about 8.75 inches high, while the center speaker measures about 10.3 inches wide. As for the rest of the satellites, they're about 6.5 inches high. The design itself is simplistic with perforated metal grilles with keyhole slots for those who want to mount the speakers to a wall. The subwoofer is made of a medium-density fiberboard cabinet that measures about 15x7.5x13.8 inches.
Setup of the home theater system requires removing a few metal panels in order to connect the speakers. The wireless feature I mentioned refers to the two surround speakers, which emphasizes the need not to connect the speakers placed at the back. The IR box is needed in order to connect to the speakers wirelessly, and in a position where no interference can interrupt the device and also includes a 8-foot long wire to place it in a non-obtrusive place. Of course you can attach the wires to all the speakers if you want, but it defeats the notion of paying for an affordable home theater system and not use the wireless feature. The IR transmitter requires its own power supply.
