Reviews of the Sony DAV-FX100W
-
CNET Review
The Good: Dreamy HTIB design; five-disc slot-loading DVD/SACD/CD changer/receiver; HDMI output upscales to 720p/1080i video; wireless surround speakers; tower speakers.
The Bad: Tricky setup menus make changing the subwoofer level a pain; tedious DIY speaker assembly; subwoofer sounds bass-heavy.
The Bottom Line: Sony's revamped wireless Dream system ups the ante with cutting-edge features and improved sound quality.
