Pros:?watch movies songs ReviewBefore buying HT-IS100, i looked/heard at lot of other HTIB systems, Klipsch, Bose, Panasonic, Samsung. For the price ($300) and sound quality, nothing beats this system. from Dell.com ProsEasy to install, great sound, small speakers (easy tu hide), easy to use. ConsIt would be great if it had more connectivity options. Also, SONY support is really poor. If you try to find the accessories for wireless connectivity, you won't find it in the market. from Dell.com I've been searching for a decently price and well sounding audio system for my new setup for quite some time. The thing I REALLY like about this setup is that it eliminates a box from your rack of components. Now all I have is a TIVO and Sony Blu-Ray player in my setup and nothing more which lets me have the "minimalist" look I was going for. from Amazon.com I didn't want something really loud, but I needed multiple hdmi and digital inputs. All the all-in-one systems were mostly offering blue-ray or dvd player, which I didn't need. So this Sony was a good candidate, especially with small speakers, and lengthy cables for the surround speakers (12m of cables, so it was more than enough for me). So I ordered one. from Amazon.com I recently purchased this system, as well as the WAHT SA10 wireless rear hub and the EZW T100 transmitter, and I tell you small speakers or not, this sounds nice. I've had no problems with the rears being out of sync ( using wireless ) and this system pumps out a very clean sound for PS3 Blu Ray movie watching ( which is all I really use it for ). I use it for my 16 x 16 living room and have a 'heavier system' for the basement, ( onkyo 605 receiver/jbl 5.1 speaker sytem ). from Amazon.com My Harmony one remote coordinates everything. The setup was simple and the mic calibrated everything quickly I was up and running in no time. HDMI switching is flawless, The sound is fantastic. I have it for my bedroom and it rocks!!! from Amazon.com LPCM audio through HDMI- 2,5.1, and 7.1 channel uncompressed audio, so if you buy or have a Blu-ray system that decodes it's own DTS MA, DTS HD, etc...which MOST do, even most of the $140 bottom of the line off brands, you will get all the latest audio codec playback even though the system itself can't do it. My complaints are that I can only do 4 inputs, HDMI 1-3 are labeled the same as the component inputs and cannot be assigned as a different input. The Ipod dock puts out solid sound but the on screen UI looks like it comes from the 80's, no big deal just would expect more based on how freaking cool everything else is. I really feel like anyone who says there's not enough power to this is either too picky, hearing impaired, or doesn't really own the system and just likes putting in there 2 cents where ever they can. from Amazon.com The first thing you notice about the HT-IS 100 system are the tiny speakers. Your first thought will be how loud can these things go without distorting. from Amazon.com Audio: I'm not picky, so in terms of the audio, it's fine to be. I just wanted an upgrade from the tv speakers. This is loud enough! Looks: I also didn't want huge speakers. from Amazon.com Can only give one star right now because the systems center speaker and remote did not work. Called Sony and they had me send the center speaker and remote to Texas for repair. After a week they sent back still not repaired. from Amazon.com
