Love it!
By Johnny Primo
Works great! Haven't tested a 3D movie yet, but the sound is amazing. Easy to hook up. The S-Air really works without a glich. Goes great with my Sony setup: XBR60LX900 3D HDTV with active shutter glasses and the PS3 (to include 3D Gaming - wipEout HD is awesome!). It has two HDMI inputs and one HDMI output, perfect for me - PS3 and DirecTV box connect to the HTS, then the HTS connects to the TV. Now the only slight problem is that the device is a bit slow to remote commands when switching inputs, e.i. HDMI1, HDMI2, FM Tuner, BD player... and to the Menu (PS3 type). Other than that... simply amazing!

good sound but slow and lacking audio input
By 3D lover
I've waited to review its 3D performance to write this review. Turns out, it's awesome!Sound is very solid, esp from those tiny speakers.I've tried 10+ HD audio blu-ray movies and they sounded just great.Its 3D video OUT is good enough not to affect my samsung 7000 series 3D plasma performance.The 2 things I would complain about:1. It's really slow. load disc, or go to menu, etc... just slow.2. The digital audio cable input, has a weird requirement of only being used when video is coming from the TV channel. So what about other devices?? I've got around the problem by tricking the receiver -- having another device sending the video to the TV, and then the digital output directly to this receiver's digital audio input. and then use the TV input channel.

Solid System for what it is...
By cmxm
First, let me start by saying; I seldom review products online. I really enjoyed having good feedback from others before purchasing this product and thought it was a good idea to provide similar information for others.The Good:- Nice system out of the box. Clean appearance, ample connections for most home theater setups (remember, you no longer need an HDMI for the bluray player as it is built in).- Extremely simple to setup. Probably the most "plug-and-play" system I've ever seen...right down to the speaker connections.- Rear channel wireless speakers. Okay, I know... they encode/decode and sound quality is lost, they have a limited range, they still have wires (from rear receiver to speakers)... but still.... worth it. I live in a ranch house and have used these at both ends of the house (about 55ft from the receiver) and the sound is still pretty good. I like these speakers mostly because we entertain a great deal. This provides us the flexibility to connect an ipod and listen in both the living room and kitchen. Then on movie night, they return to the living room. Just an added bonus to a system like this.The Bad:- Proprietary speaker connections, so forget about swapping out Sony speakers with a better...say...center channel speaker. What you get in the box is the one you have to use.- Small sound...relatively. Let's face it; while bigger is not always better...in the speaker world is does make a difference. I am no audiophile, but this system will leave you wanting if you are looking for uniform lows across the whole field. All bass originates in the subwoofer and the other speakers sound a bit under-powered, covering only the highs and high-mid range of the spectrum. Now the caveat: if this system is for watching Blurays and TV on a casual basis, it is a very solid system. If you watch a movie a night and really like to immerse yourself in sound... you should be thinking component systems.Overall, I would recommend this system to anyone who was looking for the versatility of a wireless compatible HTIB. I enjoyed that the whole setup took no more than 10 minutes and that the overall picture and sound quality was on the higher end (for what it is). It will never compete with a purpose built custom system. If that's what you are looking for, this is not a substitute. If you're goal is to purchase a solid HTIB with wireless rear channel, this product is a great choice.
