Five Star Reviews: | 53% Happy with this system June 15, 2016 Happy with this system. One of the best things about it is when connected to the TV with digital optical cable it senses the input and automatically turns on so I don't need to use a second remote just to turn on the sound. This may be one of the last home theater all in one systems with blue ray that still has tower speakers. Seems well made and sounds as good as any comparable system (in the past I have had JBL, Sony, and Pioneer in the same living space). My Home Theater system May 30, 2016 Everything Went Smooth I Love Amazon and I Love My Dvd Home Theater system The Sound Is Dynamic It's Everything I Want And More Great Unit. April 5, 2016 Awesome unit......just like being in the theatre..........all four speakers can be independently programmed to accommodate your room acoustics. Very happy with this unit.....easy hook up........and programming. Should last me many years. Nice system February 10, 2016 My only disappointment with this unit is even using the lg smart link, you have to use 2 remotes. One for TV/satellite. The other for sound. Well worth the money. Nice clean sound. I personally was used to a higher wattage system, and miss the kick and rumble from the bigger sub woofer. But moving into a smaller place soon, it will be more than adequate Does what we needed January 29, 2016 We aren't really into electronics, so I don't have any cool insightful stuff to post, but the speakers work with our LG TV and give a surround sound effect. | 38% Great Little System! December 12, 2016 This is the third system I have purchased; one as a gift and two for myself. I really think this is a great buy, very good sound for the price, and even the base and surround sound is decent. Thank you, Sony and Amazon.com. It works pretty good. I cannot use it fully to its ... August 1, 2016 I've had this surround sound for about 9 months now. It works pretty good. I cannot use it fully to its capabilities because I have to use the headphone jack to connect it to my tv. It could be louder though. But the quality is good and I would recommend it. The set up was understandable and when I needed help, customer service was very helpful. Reluctance Rewarded September 27, 2013 After reading so many reviews all over the map on this system, I decided to go for it...the price for the features offered was too tempting. Installation and set up were quite straight forward and easy to follow. The fact that I'm not of the "digital generation" might offer some comfort to others technologically challenged. Still haven't figured out all of the functions on the remote, but I've learned enough to put it to use. The sound was much better than I expected. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this system. pretty nice February 12, 2013 This was a change for us we originally had a blue ray , but we didnt use. it so a dvd downgrade was fine. The nice thing is the built in fm tuner so we can listen to the radio quality is nice |
Four Star Reviews: | 26% Great buy July 20, 2016 Very easy set up, the first receiver box was busted in the mail however but they quickly sent me a replacement. Really great sound quality the only thing that I have noticed kind of bad about them is that the back speakers don't seem as loud as the fronts. But if you turn it up loud enough you can't really notice. This system was stupid easy to install April 17, 2016 This system was stupid easy to install. The system uses propriatary cords so you need not hassle with striping speaker wire. Everything is color coded and everything from buildi g speakers to room set up took about 15 minutes.Unless you are using a projector like me which you will find the wires woefully short in which case it this system does allow normal speaker wires but the input holes are very small so find the smallest speakerwire you can. It is a nice system. I don't think I was as powerful ... March 6, 2016 It is a nice system. I don't think I was as powerful as my old unit (that I hooked up downstairs) but I am still tinkering with it. Very limited directions on how to program but easy to hook up. The speaker stands look awesome. Great Product Good Value But NOT Wireless February 14, 2016 Terrific sound and a really good value for the money but this particular model is NOT WIRELESS. The specs and description were a little unclear but thought nearly everything is wireless today and thought it was a safe assumption it was wireless. Oh, well... It's still a great product and glad we have it. The interface for the system has a bit of a ... February 9, 2016 The interface for the system has a bit of a delay, but overall the quality is superb for the price | 20% Great system. November 28, 2016 Very clean sound. The instructions for set up were too wordy and complicated but after a glass of wine, I was able to suffer through it. Once set up, I was able to enjoy its clean quality sound. Worth the price too. Like the product however can not figure out how to ... July 16, 2016 Like the product however can not figure out how to get the tv sound thru surround sound when watching regular tv...other then that good item for the money. Nice little system, and customer aervice February 29, 2016 The sound is nice and vibrant. I'm not at full capacity as I haven't been able to use all the speakers just yet. The wire for the back speakers aren't very long so I will have to add wire eventually. I wish they over did the length. I'm sure it will just add to the ambiance once I'm all set up. Another side note is that the customer service was helpful and quick troubleshooting. I couldn't figure out why the sound didn't work at first and they patiently walked through the check points to resolve it. 4 stars 4 now----will update if needed October 11, 2014 We bought this to send to my wife's family in the Philippines. I recently upgraded our home theater projector to 1080p, so we will send the old 720p projector which still works fine. We chose this Sony 5.1 system to go along with it. I was surprised that ours didn't come in it's original box, but it did look brand new, just repackaged in Styrofoam. There was just a small scratch to the top of the main unit, from whoever packaged it. Not a big deal. I wanted to make sure it all worked and sounded decent, so I tried it out. My 1st impressions were bad, but after having it on for an hour or 2, it started sounding much better. This wasn't a big surprise, since most or all speakers, including headphones and earphones, need a burn in period to sound their best, so I played the radio and some CDs for 2 days. Well, it's not exactly hi-fi, pretty far from it, but I wasn't expecting it for the price. It's not 300 Watts, but I wasn't expecting that either. It is an improvement to most television speakers, especially since they can be spread out for surround sound, which really enhances movie watching. The subwoofer my look like it has a 6 or 8" driver, but it is actually 3 or 4". It gives a decent boom to the sound. The volume is fine for a small room or bedroom, and ok for a medium size room. I only used the HDMI out, and it worked fine into the projector. I certainly would not trade it for my current setup of Yamaha, Kef, Mirage, etc., but we're sure our nieces will love their new projector and surround sound system. They are sure to have many visitors on movie night, so we also sent a case of theater-style popcorn. Perfect January 28, 2014 Not sure what to expect on a refurbished electronic, I was very hesitant to purchase. It didn't arrive in a pretty, new box, but I wasn't buying the packaging. The product itself worked perfectly--just like new. The only thing I would do differenlty next time is purchase a wireless system (if such a thing exists). Wires are everywhere. But I knew that when we bought it, so don't be mistaken--the product itself was great. |
Three Star Reviews: | 3% Good product July 18, 2016 Its pretty great but i was expecting each tower to be wirless, so pretty great, great sound and all but still hate the wires. Another thing that bumped me was that it didn't connect to my wifi. It can only get connection through LAN cable which kinda sucks. I think mine has some sort of timeout that turns the component off after a while. Maybe to avoid overheating. Not much of an issue since it doesn't happen that often but its kinda weird. | 15% It is fine. February 13, 2017 Our own fault, didn't pay close enough attention. This is a DVD system. Blue ray has been out so long, didn't pay attention to the DVD part. Hubby wanted to return. Instead we use one of our blue rays with it. It is fine. Great low budget system December 28, 2016 Great low budget system. My only negative was that the speaker wires are permanently attached to the back of the speakers. I would have liked to have speakers that I could have used my own custom length speaker wire for. I did not see this in the product description. Good price, average machine. Just fine. November 9, 2016 Ok system...average. Works fine. No bells. No whistles. DVD player is just that...not Blu-ray. No optical audio port. Wires short... bought & spliced enough to accommodate 14 x 23 ft. room. Sound is fine, not Dolby HD crisp_sounding separation. Motel 6 of sound systems. What do you expect for the price? Serves our purpose just fine. Three Stars January 30, 2016 Only has one input/output option. Otherwise it's a decent unit for the price. Not the loudest. Fast delivery. Good item, but at the time September 11, 2015 Good item, but at the time, i received, DVD player was broken. It has good sound, but i would recommend spend some more money to buy the best surround system. Sound is not upto the exprectation |
Two Star Reviews: | 3% Bluetooth with TV is horrible. May 1, 2016 Sound is ok, but not user friendly with remote or front panel, even as basic as it is. Forget using with Bluetooth on your tv. The lip sync delay will make you crazy. This is apparently inherent to BT audio/video. | 9% The USB does not work. I have tried various ... April 15, 2017 The USB does not work. I have tried various types but none of them works and the volume is not what I expected. Value product September 19, 2016 Low end but also low cost. Use where you just want basic sound quality. Not worth the money July 12, 2016 Not thrilled at all. Had to buy a digital to analog converter to even use- product description should have indicated this only has input and must be analog. Nothing comes in analog anymore NOT Leber Approved April 9, 2015 alright i am very disappointed in the product. I payed like 100 some odd dollars for it, and i get it in the mail, and it looked so nice right out of the box. So I was able to get it hooked up, and it was sad. The sub doesn't even pound. I have to have the volume all the way up to even here the sub-woofer and on top of it it's turned up all the way, and it isn't loud at all. not even a little. The whole reason i got this was to be blown away and to piss my neighbors off down stairs but now i cant do that. This Product IS NOT Leber Recommended The price is appealing the product is not February 13, 2014 I'm not hard of hearing but any surround sound setting other than multi finds me leaning toward a speaker to hear it. Saw some comments about not for a "large room". If you room is 6x6 this might work. Just doesn't pack any volume. I guess you get what you pay for. I find myself wishing I had spent an extra $50 to get something decent. |
One Star Reviews: | 15% Not bad for the price-if it worked August 20, 2016 I am satisfied with my purchase for the most part. I didn't realize until after I bought it, that there was no HDMI in which is annoying because then you can't take advantage of any outside source DTS-HD, or Dolby HD formats. Otherwise it is a good cheap alternative for a surround system. For the price I would probably have chosen the comparable Onkyo system, but I didn't want to hang the speakers in my apartment.EDIT: Just less than 1 year later, the optical input stopped working and it won't even change to optical input at all. Since it was an open box LG wouldn't cover the repair cost. Blu ray died quickly. Repairs take forever. June 14, 2016 After watching 1 movie, the blu ray player that all the speakers are connected to, died. The drive will not open or close. There was no way to remove the DVD that was stuck inside.Although friendly, LG Tech Support offered no solutions to try (a problem because I rented a Redbox DVD). Troubleshooting consisted of turning the device on and off.After filing a claim I was asked to return the blue ray player and subwoofer (though there is nothing wrong with the subwoofer) in the original box, which was 5x as large as the two items since it included speakers. Instead, I'll mail the items in an appropriate size box when I receive the return label, which is going to take 2-3 business days via email. Then it will take 7-10 business days for another player and subwoofer to be returned. In short, this is going to take weeks for repairs. One Star March 30, 2016 I tried to connect to a samsung tv and it was imposible. Information not accurate regarding wireless components Just okay February 28, 2016 Not great sound like my old Panasonic and you can't connect via wifi UNLESS you have a LG tv!!! That's just awful for a company to do! It's hooked up and I'm keeping it, but if I knew what I know now I wouldn't have bought it! Advertised as new in the box however after setting it ... November 18, 2015 Advertised as new in the box however after setting it up it threw a code, called LG customer service and they say it was used as a display model and it will need to be sent back so they can reset it. Not happy | 18% GREAT. In buying this DAVTZ140 December 14, 2016 I personally own a Sony DVD Home Theater System DAV-DZ170,bought as a Warehouse Deal,GREAT.In buying this DAVTZ140,as a gift for someone else,it arrived with no remote,NO REMOTE!Details never mentioned more than cosmetic scratches which are standard for a used item,but NO REMOTE?That is like sending an item which is broken.You can not do anything without a remote,at all,except watch the DVD player accept your DVD in the tray and thats all folks!So the moral of this story is to ask and check to be sure ALL accessories are included.Yes,I sent the item back and ordered another of the same make and model because Sony DOES make premium electronics.I just got delt a lemon from the warehouse.SHAME,SHAME,SHAME....(to be continued) to make it worst it does not have an audio in slot February 3, 2016 The usb does not work. to make it worst it does not have an audio in slot. plays well though good for a small room Cheap DVDs player only October 11, 2015 Not a home theatre but cheap DVD player. Need return instructions underpowered and no optical input, should be marketed as a computer speaker system not a home theater system August 12, 2015 This product is sold as a "Home Theater System" but it does not have the output power for a home theater system. It only has analog audio L and R input jacks, no optical input. Optical input has been around for a long time. In fact I have a bookshelf system that is a 400W system that is over 15 yrs old and has optical input and it blows this "Home Theater System" out of the water for loudness. Big disappointment! I would NOT recommend anyone buy this unless they are going to use it for their computer like so many reviews say they did. I didn't want a computer speaker system. Well the old saying applies here, you get what ... April 18, 2015 Well the old saying applies here, you get what you pay for! A cheap sound system, I understand why Sony discontinued the product |
