Sony RHT-G800 - Sony Bravia TV Stand With Integrated 5.1 Surround Sound Cinema System
A complete 5.1-channel home cinema surround system built into a high quality TV stand
Customer Review: Sony RHT-G800 Review
I agree with everything that others have said, with the exception of the poor high note quality. Sony seem to have now resolved this problem, I bought my unit in early January 2008. I played my DVD of Carmina Burana with Kathleen Battle singing, at full volume, there was no obvious distortion of her top notes, and the base was very impressive, given the size of the unit. I have given it a four star rating because it can’t be expected to come up to a full Hi Fi standard system, but for someone who doesn’t have a dedicated music/TV room or a wife who wants a conventional sitting room, this has a lot going for it.
I can’t say I noticed much of a surround sound effect, but by positioning it in a corner may not be the ideal location.
I found moving it on a carpet to get at the various connections a problem, in the end I cut a piece of wood about 2 foot in length and used it as a lever, taking care not to put pressure on the speaker units.
The unit looks great in black especially if your TV, Sky Box, DVD Recorder, VCR, and any other bit of kit are also in black.
Customer Review: intermittant sound
I have recently purchaced a Sony RHT G800 (2 weeks ago ) I liked the Idea of no cables and speaker stands all over the place . I opted not to go for the Bravia t.v and went for the Samsung 42″ plasma to compliment the unit . Firstly this is a heavy lump of a unit make sure there are at least 2 people to manouvre into position in your home .Secondly it is very easy to set up and the lack of cables is fantastic . Sound quality is excellent but I am experiencing intermittant sound ,whilst watching a programme the volume cuts off (if you change channel the sound returns) Has any one else experienced similar problems and if so how was it resolved .

Customer Review: STAY AWAY FROM VAIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! +1
Glenn Skow’s post is correct. This problems goes a looong way back and they haven’t(refuse to) corrected it yet. This problem exist with Vaio P4 or other models of VAIO. Yeah, it’s the soldering problem with the SODIMM memory banks which gets broken w/ mobo over time. When that happens, you won’t be able to use the laptop. Sony continues to ignore the problems and pass it on to your pocketbook.
Customer Review: STAY AWAY FROM VAIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please be aware that there is a known defect in the Vaio line. I personally have had direct experience with this having my Vaio die on me as a result of a “cracked motherboard” only 14 months of having it. It is a known defect in the Vaio design. I urge anyone who reads this to be very catious about buying a Vaio and consider an alternative, more reliable computer. “The issue stems from the memory SODIMM slots. The solder joints that connect the SODIMM’s to the motherboard are breaking, causing one or both memory modules not to be polled, or counted, towards total system memory…Sony than charges $700-$1200 to repair it”

Customer Review: Small, Beautiful, Almost Perfect
When you buy a Sony laptop, think two things: Beautiful and expensive. This machine delivers both. When I first opened the small box, I couldn’t help but be impressed by the complete miniturization of everything, including the AC adaptor (thanks Sony!). Even though the keyboard is smaller, I found it comfortable to type on, similar to a Macbook. The screen is gorgeous! This laptop is quiet, thanks to an SSD 32 GB “hard diskless” configuration. This laptop does not generate anywhere the amount of heat I have forcibly had to get used to. It gets warm, but not hot. There’s always a negative with laptops, and with this machine it’s disk space. I’m telling you, they couldn’t fit another third party trial application on this machine. Sony exec are whores. Beautiful and expensive whores, but whores nonetheless. I’m pretty sure I could get my application bundled into the next Vaio if I tried hard enough. Anyway, back to the facts. Start with a 32 GB SSD, which is really 30.7 in real life (nasty little Gigabyte to Megabyte to byte conversion - - - 1024 bytes vs. 1MB - - so you lose 24 bytes per MB in real life). OK, so take off 8 GB off the 30.7 because they don’t include recovery disks, they created a “recovery partition” on the laptop itself, so you’re down to say 22 GB. Vista is a hog, and so MS Office 2007, and so is the biometric fingerprint reader software and so is the adware, the trialware, the multimedia software, the Click to CD software, etc, etc, etc ….. Whew… You’re left with about 8 GB of hard drive space … I don’t know about you and your usage, but 8 GB (to start out with!) is practically nothing. This does not work for me. Maybe it will for you, but not me. So what do you do ……….. Downgrade your new Vaio to Windows XP. Ouch! The Vista screen is so nice and beatiful though. Isn’t this what we paid for? No. We paid to have a small fast beautiful machine. And unfortunately, Vista is just not ready for primetime, therefore, the best move you can make is to go to NotebookReview.com forums reading up and spend a day downgrading your system. Afterwards, everything (well, mostly everything) will work as before, and instead of running into deadends trying to get your old applications to work with Vista, you’ll be with using tried and true, XP, and you’ll have 20 GB of space instead of 8 GB. ** Caution ** - - - remember to create Recovery Disks beforehand (it’s easy and takes 2 DVDs). In conclusion, this machine is sweet, and if you can be happy with not a lotta storage or you can make it through a downgrade, you will love this laptop.
Customer Review: Despite popular belief this subnotebook is best ever..
First of all I was really skeptical on this model, especially when I had just bought the cheaper version TZ150 with 1.06Ghz Core 2 Duo, 1GB RAM and 100GB 4200rpm HDD. I used the TZ150 for approximately 2h trying to remove all the bloatware that Sony decided to install (apparently an issue with all US/NA Sony laptops) and at the end gave up.. Way too slow, to the point it was unusable. Took it back to BestBuy got charged 15% restocking fee and after reading lots of reviews online I decided to order the faster brother TZ190N.. Let me start by saying the 32GB SSD has 0.3ms access time, making it BLAZING fast.. Adobe Photoshop CS3 opens up in 5 seconds flat, Microsoft office 2007 is as fast as on my quad-core desktop and in general the performance boost from the faster processor, faster SSD and 2GB RAM make it amazingly fast and usable.. I recommend doing a clean Vista install to lose all the sony bloatware and install the drivers from Sony’s site. Granted you’ll waste an evening doing that, but your laptop & yourself will thank you.. Amazing battery life, love the keyboard and the screen is gorgeous. I could do with larger SSD but remember this is NOT a desktop replacement and SSD prices are skyrocket high. I’m very very pleased and if I had to chose I’d buy it again!!

Customer Review: Get this stand now!
Even though I run multi-monitor, having my laptop on this stand at the full 35 degree extension is BRILLIANT. Talk about an eye-saver… I’m also able to sit in my chair a bit more “properly.” I also appreciate Rolodex’s inclusion of the rubber cable-organizer that makes hooking up my laptop every morning so much more convenient; I have 8 cables that I’ve got to plug in before powering up and this was a great addition.
Customer Review: Rolodex Laptop Stand
This is a great inexpensive solution for a laptop stand. It is very sturdy with the mesh type bottom allowing good circulation and heat dissipation. The stand adjusts to several different angles, although the lowest one seems most useful. The only real negative I see is that if you use an Apple notebook, one of the front supports is directly in line with the CD/DVD insert slot. You have to move the notebook for disc insertion or ejection.
List Price: $153.39 
The Sansui DFTV270 27 Flat CRT TV delivers increased viewing angle to produce accurate life-like images.
