Reviews of the Sony DAV-FX900W

CNET Review
The Good: The Sony DAV-FX900W is a stylish, feature-packed, home-theater system that can be configured with wired or wireless surround speakers. Highlights include four tallboy speakers that can also be wall mounted, HDMI output with 720p/1080i video upscaling, automatic speaker calibration, and a front-panel input for portable audio players. The sleek receiver/five-disc changer plays DVDs, CDs, and SACDs, and the system is XM-ready.
The Bad: The slot-loading disc changer looks cool but slows things down. The remote control has some usability issues, and there's no direct control over subwoofer volume. While this machine can display DVD content via any video output, external devices using the composite- or component-video inputs must use those corresponding outputs.
The Bottom Line: The Sony DAV-FX900W Dream System maxes out on style and features--such as HDMI output and wireless rear speakers--but its sound quality is disappointing relative to the price.
