Reviews of the Sony Bravia Theater DAV-HDX500

CNET Review
The Good: Home theater in a box with five-disc DVD changer; 480p, 720p, or 1080i HDMI output; height adjustable stand for main left and right speakers; spunky subwoofer; automatic speaker-calibration system; XM Radio-ready with XM HD Surround processing; decent input selection includes component video pass-through and digital audio jacks.
The Bad: Better for movies than music; does not include wireless speaker modules, unlike cheaper models in the same series.
The Bottom Line: The DAV-HDX500 delivers the best combination of features and value in Sony's Bravia home theater system line.
