DAV-DX255 Home Theater System

Strengths: Great sound quality. Excellent features.

Weakness: Poor remote. Doesnt get very loud.

Overall this is a great home theater system for the price. It has good sound quality, although it doesnt get as loud as I would like. The low end sound is adequate, and the reproduction is excellent. I would recommend this to anyone.

Sony DAV-DX255 Home Theater

Strengths: Great Picture Great Sound Easy to use remote

Weakness: Can not play DVD+RW movies

The picture and sound on the home theater are top notch, you can not argue that. It seems the dvd player can NOT play DVD+RW movie disks, but can play DVD+RW MP3 disks.

An affordable high quality and high performance HTS

Strengths: Digital Cinema Auto Calibration, 1000 Watts, Supports pretty much all Video formats

Weakness: It may not play PAL region CDs.

This HTS sound clarity is crystal clear. I tried to play various video formats like MP3, CD-R, DVD-R, DVD+R, etc., It played all of them without blinking. I strongly recommend this product.

DAV-DX255 Home Theater System

Strengths: Easy installation. Compact. Feature Rich. Great Subwoofer

Weakness: Doesn't come with a speaker stand. The remote could be better.

I purchased this sytem recently, and set it up in around 10 minutes. The quality of sound is great, although the power is not as much as I had hoped for. Overall though I am very happy with the purchase, and for the cost, this unit is a great buy.

Awesome Sony Product

Strengths: - 1000 Watts - Intuitive Design - Sound is great - 5.1/Dolby

Weakness: - No speaker stand - Eject button in remote - Doesn't seems to play DVD+RW, need to do more research - Plays Divx movies on non US models only

I love sony Audio products. I have never own a Home Theatre System. When I found the good deal on Circuit City I jumped on and really happy with the product. I would highly recommend buying it for the first time users. Just buy speaker stands and you have a home theatre systems which rocks. Enjoy!

Sony DAV-DX255 Home Theater System

Strengths: Good overall features and performance; relatively compact; five-disc changer

Weakness: None significant considering the all-in-one approach

This system is a good choice for those with limited funds and/or space. Set up is quick and straightforward. There is ample power and decent sound and picture quality. The five-disc changer is a nice touch. As with any all-in-one system, there are some minor tradeoffs: no HDMI input, modest power, no eject button on the remote, but no major flaws for the price. Overall, a recommended system for a...

Nice system, can't beat the price

Strengths: Compact, easy to setup

Weakness: Nothing major

Bought this system with a hefty rebate, so definitely was value for money. Setup took about 30 mins. Note that to get use the speakers to their fullest, you need a largish rectangular room with TV / seating on opposite ends. Sound quality is fabulous. The only complaint, if any, is the plasticky finish.

DAV-DX255 Home Theater System (5.1 Speakers, 143 W...

Strengths: Many features for only $300

Weakness: Somewhat weak

I just recently purchased this Home Theater System for my bedroom and it is perfect for its purpose. The sounds are clear and sub produce a decent low sound but however, it's somewhat weak and so don't expect a powerhouse from this. For a normal average Joe, this is a perfect system but however, for those who expect a "blow me away" full experience home theater system, then I suggest getting an...

SONY DAV-DX255 Home Theater System review

Strengths: Easy to install, good sound

Weakness: Lack of support for multiple audio/video sources. Cannot play foreign DVDs/VCDs.

Pretty decent starter system for the price. Would love to be able to play foreign DVDs/VCDs with this. Have to change to a different DVD player to do this. Also, wish it supported multiple A/V sources and support for next generation interfaces like HDMI. For the price, pretty decent.

DAV-DX255 Home Theater System!!

Strengths: Compact, easy to set up, good product for the price

Weakness: Doesn't blow away, no eject button on remote

Definetly worth the price, better if there is a rebate to go with it, set up was quick and simple, took only 30 minutes or so. Quality of sound is great. I checked out some DVD movies and they are perfect. Highly recommended ! The subwoofer rocks and is much better than the Kenwood I have. Can't go wrong with Sony.
