Complete your home theater with the DAV-DZ170 BRAVIA Home Theater system. Add the cinematic thrill of surround sound to your TV viewing experience with this 5.1-channel BRAVIA theater system. Fusing style with performance, this 5.1-channel surround sound system features a built-in DVD player and 1000 watts of home theater power. This is enough power to get the most from the included speakers and sub-woofers. The iPod compatibility mode helps you to connect iPod or other digital music player via the front USB port. In addition to Digital Cinema Auto Calibration optimizes speaker placement in just 30 seconds, thus ensuring you get the best sound experience from your surround sound. Simply place the included microphone where you will be seated and settings are automatically optimized based on the distance, delays and placements of your speakers. You can use the HDMI interface to upscale your DVD media to near 1080p quality.

The Sony BRAVIA Sync capability helps you conveniently operate and control all your HDMI connected devices with one remote including: Blu-ray disc players, Bravia HDTV, HTS products, Handycam / Camcorders and Cyber-shot Digital cameras. The Smart Remote Control gives a one-touch access for key activities like watching TV, listening radio/music or even watching a movie from the USB port.

However, some reviewers complain that the product does not include HDMI or Optical cables (it includes a basic cable for video connection). The speaker wires are short, thus being suitable for small sized rooms and some users wish that they could adjust each channel sound separately.

Overall, the Sony Bravia DAV-DZ170 Home Theater System is great system to have in your home given its cost, features, and overall quality. It is easy to set up and offers a lot of conveniences making it truly a good investment.

Review Group #: 1 (4.00 stars) 7 Reviews	Worth the price • Great movie quality • Bass plays loud quality sound • Simple installation • Suitable for small rooms »See Details I love this new system, wish i'd have got wireless speakers for the back one's but will work with it, well worth the money spent, makes movies great! My roommates and I bought this system for our movie room. First time having a surround system for myself and its amazing, works great, not a typical critic one that dislikes it for the smallest things, it gets the job done who needs a movie theatre anymore haha. The bass is surprisingly loud in such a small package. I was very happy with the quality of sound, overall loudness, and especially the price. It definitely gets loud but I could see that some people would want it louder. We don't feel the need to break windows when we watch a movie or listen to the FM tuner, but the unit handles higher volumes very well. Installation was simple and a year later, it's still working great. Doesn't play my sports as loud as I'd have hoped for, but excellent for movies if you've a small living space like mine. Well, Sony definitely let me down on this one. »Hide Details
Review Group #: 2 (5.00 stars) 8 Reviews	Easy to assemble • Good customer service • Great sound for the price • Good quality product package and delivery »See Details Awesome product to keep, great customer service, excellent experience with product delivery and package. excellent product, good quality very good dispatch received everything the right way. Very happy with this product and purchase and Amazon. I'm comparing with price and product. i loved this product it was very good fast delievery would refer to another person will buy again from this company. Packing: it arrived in one piece, no damage and easy to open; No about the product: very easy to assemble, the sound it's great for a less than $200 dollars home theater system made by Sony. First off I love Amazon and buy all kinds of items from them. I bought this product recently. Due we live in Venezuela, Amazon sent this product to Miami and we hired a mail company to get our stuff. »Hide Details
Review Group #: 3 (4.50 stars) 13 Reviews	Amazing surround sound • Easy to install • Maximize the surround sound with speaker stand or mount the back speakers »See Details The surround sound is amazing. The system was easy to install and provides excellent surround sound. Whenever we play a movie surround sound action sequences he still says, "Man, I love our sound system!" Such a great surround sound very epic! and my tv volume shouldnt come out the tv before the sound comes out the surround sound. Also, you'll need to purchase speaker stands separately or mount the back speakers to maximize the surround sound. great sound for a small 2 bed apartment living room..... one can enjoy surround system without complaint from neighbors.... I purchased this surround sound set for my fiance for christmas. My old Sony surround sound system died after a decade so I needed something to replace it with. Easy to set up and gives great sound! »Hide Details
Review Group #: 4 (4.00 stars) 14 Reviews	Speaker wires are short • Color coded tag identification for easy assembling • Automatically balances the surround sound with included microphone • Use HDMI and Fiber Optic audio cables to upscale the quality of picture and audio »See Details Yes, the rear speaker wires weren't long enough. Setup(with color coding on the system plug in ports, wiring and speakers)was easy enough.In the room that I put it in and the way I ran the wiring(through the walls), the front speaker wires weren't long enough. I simply removed excess wiring from the surround speakers and spliced it to the front speakers. For the second movie, I spliced in some extra speaker wire. speaker system not really designed for music. First, the sound is wonderful and plenty loud enough if you're sitting within about 30' of the front speakers. I've had no problem with the bass being too loud, and the speakers sound great. In set up mode, it'll automatically balance your surround sound speakers with the included microphone. The wire for the voice speaker is only 10' long. »Hide Details
Review Group #: 5 (4.50 stars) 16 Reviews	Strong bass • Easy setup • Best priced for the quality »See Details The sound quality is excellent for a unit this price. Best priced system for such a big sound!. For the price it's very good sound. Very well priced for the quality. Excellent Unit for the price. For the price, the sound is great. I'd definitely recommend this for those who can't afford a high priced sound system. This's a great sound system, at a reasonable price. The bass is pretty strong, setup was really easy, and for the price, the sound is really good. Price was even better!!!!. »Hide Details
Review Group #: 6 (4.50 stars) 17 Reviews	HDMI and Optical cables are not included • Unit includes a cable for basic video connection • Good Dolby surround sound • Good quality and easy to setup »See Details Get an HDMI Cable and Optical Toslink Cable as well. Very easy setup, looks great as a living room accessory, HDMI and optic cable not included, amazon sells some inexpensive but really good quality ones. Hooked up to DirecTV STB with optical audio cable so the stereo is getting Dolby Digital sound. You'll also be glad if you bought an HDMI cable to hook up the video connection to your TV and an optical audio cable, because only one AV cable is included. Fiber Optic audio and HDMI video cables aren't included and must be purchased separately.* The system does include a cable for basic video connection. To send audio back to the stereo system, you MUST connect the TV to the DVD player with a digital optical audio TOSLINK cable (for a digital audio connection) or coaxial (for an analog audio connection). The Fiber Optic audio cable (recommended for best quality audio) is about $20-25 retail. NICE & GOOD QUALITY SYSTEM, EASY TO CONNECT (EXCEPT THE HDMI CABLE WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE BOX). »Hide Details
Review Group #: 7 (4.00 stars) 22 Reviews	Good sound, pictures and features • Bass quality is good • Sometimes the sound is muffled • Can not adjust each channel sound separately »See Details Music sounds great, movies sound good. The Bass is nice, but the sound lacks fullness and clarity, it sounds muffled. The sound, piture, and features are really nice. Overall, the sound quality is good. Don't get me wrong, the sound quality is fantastic, however there's no ability to adjust each separate sound channel. Its a solid sound system. The sound is great. The clarity of the sound is crisp and clear...great bass. I bought a new tv last fall and the sound was ok but due to having it in a cabinet it sounded very muted. It was easy to install and now I'm enjoying of a great sound when watching dvd's and concerts. »Hide Details
