Reviews of the Sony DAV-FX10

CNET Review
The Good: Attractive design; five-disc slot-loading DVD/SACD/CD changer/receiver; microsize satellite speakers; standard-size subwoofer.
The Bad: The receiver/DVD changer takes up a lot of shelf space; inability to modify bass, treble, or subwoofer volume; meager input and output options; confusing onscreen setup menus.
The Bottom Line: The Sony DAV-FX10 delivers the goods as an affordable and attractive home-theater solution, but competitors offer more for less.
