Sony DAV-FX900W DVD Dream System
The Sony DAV-FX900W DVD Dream System is a home-theater system with integrated 5 DVD/CD changer, incorporating the latest audio and video technologies, including wireless rear speakers, a five-disc DVD changer, and XM-ready satellite radio connectivity. A 5.1-speaker system, with an automatic speaker setup program and a microphone to assist with proper speaker placement and optimizing sound quality, along with an HDMI output, means that you can quickly convert your living room into a full-fledged digital and high-definition theater in no time.
To go along with its sophisticated, contemporary design, the Sony DAV-FX900W includes an HDMI interface to ensure compatibility with the latest in HD digital television. The system's HDMI output, with 720P/1080i upscaling of DVD Media, reads the data on a standard DVD at 480P and maximizes the video resolution to best fit your HDMI compatible TV. This allows for you to enjoy the best in video performance while delivering digital video and audio over one simple cable.
When it's time to calibrate the system to your room, Sony couldn't have made it easier. The DAV-FX900W features Digital Cinema Auto Calibration, which lets you simply place the included microphone in your listening position while Sony's Digital Signal Processing takes over. Speaker placement, distance, and delays are all adjusted automatically to ensure a worry free listening experience. It couldn't be any easier than this. And with the system's Multi-Speaker Formation Select feature, you can use the on-screen display to configure the system for different speaker layouts. And best of all, with DIAT wireless rear speakers (with a wired option if you prefer), the DAV-FX900W relies on infrared audio transmission technology to eliminate the need for wires running from the front of the room to the rear.
The receiver features Digital Cinema Sound Technology, Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic II decoding, dts Decoding and Digital Cinema Sound technology for optimum sound quality. You'll experience a full 1000 watts of power from the receiver (143 watts x 5 speakers plus 285 watts for the subwoofer).

The 5-disc, carousel-style DVD player offers CD, CD-R, CD-RW and MP3 audio playback, as well as DVD/DVD-RW and JPEG video compatibility. The player also features both Precision Cinema Progressive Technology and Progressive Scan ability. With XM Connect-and-Play, the DAV-FX900W is ready to start streaming hundreds of XM satellite radio programs directly to your home.

A great Surround Sound for an inexpensive price:

I purchased this surround sound which happened to be the floor model over 2 years ago at a CompUSA that was closing. I usually stay away from electronic items that have spent time being displayed because of the wear and tear that they get; however, I couldn't pass up the deal. This was exactly what I needed, inexpensive and plays Dvds and everything i needed was in one box; I didn't have to go around purchasing individual items (speakers, subwoofer, reciever, etc). And the best part is that the rear... more info

Another example of SONY at war with its customers:

If you order a DVD from Europe and want to play it on this SONY unit, you will find that you have wasted your money. SONY is in bed with the distributors and blocks your playing the DVD. This s not a legal block; it's just SONY in collusion with the film folks to diminish the value of your film collection. So be aware.

Worth every penny on the price I have paid:

I have got this product for 440 + free shipping from Amazon for last thanksgiving. It's still rocking. I would strongly recommend this. Some thing to be considered before you buy:
1)It's just 1080i
2)The receiver+DVD player is heavy
3) Setting up is not too easy
4) Hard to find volume control for sub woofer
5) Disc loading is very confusing until you find the correct rhythm
