Sony HTDDW790 - 5.1 Home Cinema System - With Bravia Theatre Sync
with FM/AM radio tuner

Customer Review: Very good for the price…….
Having just bought this unit recently I am surprised with the sound quality for the price. Although the sub woofer is massive, the 5 satellite speakers are quite small, yet I have not come across a situation where they have distorted. This unit is perfect for most size homes where the cinema is in one standard room such as a lounge. In my opinion:

Pro’s:

Great Sound

Easy to setup

Future Proof as other items such as a DVD player aren’t integrated

Very expandable (lot’s of connections)

Con’s:

Surround rear speakers are wired

The AV processor unit is large by today’s standards

MP3 “portable” function not very good

Customer Review: Yamada DVR 8000 - hopeless - beware
The only thing that is easy is playing a DVD. Recording - the instructions are so bad that you need a day to figure it out; it doesn’t scan the channels properly or accept manual input and the timer won’t store instructions so we’ve never managed to record the right programme! When playing a DVD you can hear the TV in the background and you can’t record something whilst watching another channel. Perhaps this can be sorted out with some technical support - but they don’t respond to email requests, the support telephone lines go to an answer machine or give you some instructions to prepare for the support - and then hang up. We will have to buy another one now.

Sony KDL26U2000 - 26″ Widescreen Bravia HD Ready LCD TV - With Freeview - Granite
Aspect ratio: 16:9

Customer Review: Good Value
This is the first LCD tv I’ve ever bought, I’d been putting it off each year believing that they still had some way to go before being as good as the best CRTs (old Sony Triniton 100Hz tvs for example).

I have to say I was nicely surprised once I had set it up, as long as you’ve got a healthy reception the digital broadcast images are very good. I find the colours a bit intense on some channels, though I suspect this is due to the broadcast signal rather than the TV.

Plenty of inputs though for connecting a PC you are limited to analogue VGA, that said with a good graphics card the picture is still very good (way better than what’d you’d get on a CRT tv and more than adequate for web browsing, watching movies etc).

Sound is also better than expected, the audio line out is brilliant for connecting to a hifi-amp, though is fixed in level so you’ll need a hifi remote to adjust the volume from the sofa.

The rec-timer funtion is one of my fav features, it can be programmed to send any digital broadcast down the smartlink Scart port to your older VCR/DVD recorder while the TV is off (effectively giving you a Sky+ style recorder). Of course you still have to set the timer on your video This also removes the need to pass the broadcast signal through the VCR before connecting to the TV which can often cause interference.

All in all, good value, perhaps not quite as good as the best CRTs but for ?425 you really can’t complain.

Customer Review: You get what you pay for
I needed a TV for my daughters bedroom makeover. I very nearly bought a cheaper 32″, strange make, with fair reviews from Ebuyer.

But I didn’t.

I virtually always go for a premium brand, and am a great believer in the phrase Price is forgotten long after quality is remembered.

In the end I found this ?100 off, and I was able to use my company discount. Bottom line I Paid ?380. So a good price.

I was not expecting the digital free view, so we were delighted to get this as a bonus. Loads of extra channels, and some really good ones, Film4/ Sky news/ music channels plus a raft of others.

Picture quality - from my aerial was crystal clear, its HD ready, but I haven’t used this mode yet.

Wall mounting - easy to do. It didn’t come with a kit, I bought one online from www.av4home.co.uk (?33 including next day delivery).

I had to cut off the moulded plug, and replace with another one, so I could hide the wires away. It comes with a lead, which you cannot detach from the TV, and it is about 1.5m long.

Looks great on the wall, and picture quality is fabulous.

Nice one.
