My husband did the setup and we had some issues, but they are likely related to a problem with our hdmi hookups (I am so un-techie). Otherwise, hookup seemed to go well.We thought the rear speakers were wireless in that they would simply be positioned separately around the room, with zero speaker wires. In actuality, the rear speakers and amp are separate from the front speakers (so you don't have wires stringing from the front of the room to the back) and they "connect" via a transmitter. However, the two rear speakers are still connected via speaker wire to the rear amp, so I still have black wires hanging through my bedroom.Again, this is still better than having them ALL over, but for the money, I expected stand-alone wireless.The sound is excellent and the picture quality is amazing. I deducted one star for the fact that the ad at our local Costco says the rear speakers are wireless so you can place them wherever you want, when in fact, they are still connected to the amp by wires.

I purchased this Sony BDV-T79 as an open box sale on eBay 2 weeks ago after a couple months of extensive research with both Samsung and Panasonic's competing systems priced in the mid to higher ranges of $300-500 as you usually get what you pay for. This is my first BLURAY player as it replaced an older Panasonic DVD player I'd purchased 3 years ago. The Sony BDV-T79 was on display at my local Costco but had very few reviews as this model was just released in the US a few months ago. I decided to bid for the open box unit after reading several positive reviews on a UK website as it must have been released at an earlier date in Europe. I ended up saving close to $175 off the closest sale price for a new system I'd seen at Costco. Yes, it did have a few cosmetic scratches but set up was easy, including connecting to my wireless Netgear router. The included APS, Netflix, Amazon, Hulu and others were a snap to set up and after a few minutes I was able to get around using the remote control as a browser controller. However, I wouldn't recommend using it much as it's much slower and less responsive than your regular PC or IPAD! Sony has a decent product support site if you encounter any issues during setup. I might mention that the subwoofer is massive and produces awesome bass! The few BLURAY DVD's I've seen so far played flawlessly on my 4 year old Samsung 52" flat screen LCD television and produced a realistic THX like theater experience along with great picture quality. I don't have 3D so I can't comment on that feature.

I'm usually an Amazon shopper, but found this item at my local Costco on sale this month for $375.00. I had a small bit of reserve after reading the reviews here, but am pretty satisfied. I'm not an audiophile when it comes to home theater systems, so wasn't looking to spend and arm and a leg to probably be the only one to notice a difference between this system and one that cost twice as much. I'm the average TV watcher that wanted something more than the built in speakers on my TV. I was very satisfied with this purchase. Installation was extremely simple. One thing that needs clarification is that there is a main receiver/DVD player which has wires to hook your front 2 speakers, center channel speaker, and bass sub. Per the installation manual, all of these components are to be placed adjacent to the TV screen. This wasn't a big deal. The sub goes next to the TV stand, the center speaker goes on the TV stand, and the 2 front speakers go on either side of the TV. There is a separate wireless amp the is for the 2 rear speakers. They connect to it via wires. This wasn't a big deal either. I plugged the amp into the AC outlet, tossed it under the couch, and mounted my 2 rear speakers on the wall above the sides of my couch. There's no wiring running across the floors. Sound quality is great. I'm impressed. Very clear with no problems. The Ipod docking station is very convenient too. It charges your iPod and allows you to completely interface it through the reciever's remote control. The reciever's LED screen sits on top of the reciever, not directly in front like traditional ones. But it's not hard to see at all. The way the receiver's LED screen sits is at an incline, like a little ramp, so you can still see it when sitting down on the couch. I'm very pleased with it and would recommend it to a friend.
