I have had a blu ray drive on my computer but this is my first component blu ray drive. It was incredibly easy to setup. The menus were a little confusing at times, but with the manual I could find everything I wanted to tweak. I must say I was impressed until I started listening to music and watching blu rays. The Bass was great from the sub, and the surround speakers immersed you in the product. But the fronts were just too weak and tinny sounding. I decided I would experiment with my old speakers from my DVD HTIB. They are 6ohm 100watt speakers that are a little bigger and wooden. OMG! the difference was astounding! I wanted to post this review just to let everyone know to grab a pair of your old stereo speakers and watch this baby soar.

The Ipod connection was a little disappointing. I plugged my itouch and iphone in (works with airplane mode). The sound was fine, but nothing really translated onto the screen. It just let you advance, play and stop from the remote. In the end I still would control it from the ipod. The only difference from the line in jack is the few remote buttons and it charges while the system is on. Panasonic does a much better job with this. Maybe a firmware upgrade will change this. Also if your system is stuck in muting when you plug ipod in, a reboot fixes it. I found this online.

Finally, with Internet connectivity you would think they could integrate Netflix and Pandora. But not yet. I am hoping a firmware upgrade will add them.

All in all, as a Blu Ray home theater in a box it is superb. I set it up with HDMI and Optical connections all around and it paid off. But I would have given it a 4.5 or 5 if the front speakers hadn't been so weak out of the box. But not a deal breaker as cheap bigger speakers really added the oomph it was missing.

I was going to wait a bit longer but since there's only one more review so far, here is my first quick and dirty shot at Sony DAV-IS50/B system (look for updates as time passes by):

Considering my enthusiasm for HD video and surround sound and lack thereof for extra low and loud thumps, I decided to replace my Logitech THX Z-2300 2.1 speakers and go for a 5.1 surround sound home theater system that can fit my small condominium and similar budget. With prices of soundbars recently going down significantly I was considering them for quite a while, but decided to go for more surround. However, all the HTIB systems seemed too bulky for me until Sony came up with these and until the price dropped to a far more affordable 0 range. It is worth noting that the size of the subwoofer unit is approximately of a PC minitower, but the remaining components are very small and handy.


Pros:
- Very sophisticated looks (I love this, especially when you fire it up and let your friends feel the power behind the ridiculously small and seemingly toyish speakers)
- Wireless connection for back surround speakers can be bought if you don't want to run wires from front to back (still need wires to the wireless amp unit though)
- Additional DVD player if you want to save your PS3 or expensive Blu-ray system from being used for kiddie DVDs
- FM and AM radio receiver
- TDM-IP50 iPod port was included and works flawlessly with iPhone 3G without the annoying airplane mode message. Besides audio, I was also able to view video on TV after pressing the "OPR MODE" button on the port which hands over full control of your iPod or iPhone to the system and remote. However, on a big screen TV, youtube videos and podcasts look bad at a low resolution. I like the way you can use the very same IR remote to control iPhone iPod application and browse through songs, artists and videos. (Warning, some pictures of DAV-IS50 are showing it with the older TDM-IP1 port, so I'm not entirely sure you're getting this TDM-IP50 port, which by the way has shorter cable than TDM-IP1)
- Due to their small size, the speakers can be very easily mounted onto a wall with provided mounts (wall screws not included, but regular drywall screws from local hardware store did well in my case).
- Very good sound considering their size
- Great fit for small apartments and condominiums
- Seemingly proprietary speaker wire connections to the amp (subwoofer) unit can be released and same can be achieved on the speakers' side: after releasing the back screw and moving a lever switch that holds them in place, wires at speaker come loose and can be released and replaced or reconnected.

Cons:
- No HDMI in port (the only HDMI port is HDMI out, used to connect the DVD box to a TV)
- Only one port of each type (one optical so if you have more systems with optical audio out, you need a switch box. In this case I'm lacking second optical audio in so I could besides my PS3 connect my TV for over the air tuner)
- Programming preset radio stations is cumbersome and far from intuitive (I had to read the manual to do this, which I never do)
- No HD radio
- At 9 the price is too high for a product that's just been discontinued by Sony (I bought mine for 9 at local brick and mortar store when it was on sale). However, Sony often does this with successful products and it will provide you with good sound, but do yourself a favor and buy it on sale for 9 or at least not over 0)
- Works great for movies, but with music you can tell where the lows are coming from, because of higher cutoff point, so more mid-low-range sounds ends up in the subwoofer (sounds coming from the ideal subwoofer cannot be located because the cutoff is at frequency so low that humans can't locate the source).

I was skeptical about the sound that can come out of these little "miserable" pieces of nothing, however, they managed to gain my respect when I put my iPhone in the store model and played 320 kbps MP3 file and got the huge store filled with music. After marrying a woman who, although virtually half my size and weight, rules my world, I'm not surprised that these speakers at their size can be this loud and impressive. They cannot be used as a main system for a block party, but if you're into small and sophisticated like I am, you will love these. Bose does similar things, but at a price far more than twice higher and that's why most audiophiles can't stand them. Sony, however, (again) got my respect. Of course middle and low levels can never be superior to those of fully sized speakers, but they are there and if you close your eyes and forget about their size, you might be surprised with the effect. Highs and high mids are quite impressive and so are upper and mid lows. Unlike most THX movie audiophiles who prefer the always and every-reputable-home-theater-present unnatural abundance of artificially amplified extra low frequencies, I don't have a thing for the extra loud thumps, so I'm very happy with this system and I mostly keep it on "Night" settings which additionally lowers the mixing-enhanced bump and thump. On my PS3, driving cars and crashing in Burnout Paradise gives a full 3D experience and impressive sound effects and I don't dare to play with volume set louder than one half (maybe will someday if I want to test whether the neighbors can be provoked into calling the condominium association board president to throw us out).

Audiophiles won't buy these and neither will I once I move to a house, but they are great for the rest of us when in or around the 0 price range and I'm not one bit sorry I bought them for this condominium (soon to be sold with them). However, I think I'll replace them with HT-IS100 I just ordered (found them on sale at same price 9) because of the lack of HDMI inputs. For the average user who doesn't have too many inputs and just wants to watch a DVD once in a while, these would suffice and actually could be more desirable because they also provide the extra DVD player at approximately the same price... I already have a PS3 and I like my home theater to have more available HDMI inputs.

Bottom line: At 9 these were a steal. If you can get them under 0 with shipping and tax, go for it.

(to be continued when I Half-time found - IS100 to the ...).

The menus were a bit 'of confusion at times, but the manual I found everything I wanted to tweak. I must say I was impressed, until I started listening to music and watch Blu-ray. The low sub was great, and seems to surround the product. But the battle lines were simply too weak and tinny. I decided then with my experimentSpeakers from my old DVD HTIB. You 6Ohm 100Watt speakers are a bit 'bigger and wood. OMG! The difference was unbelievable! I wanted to post this review just so everyone knows, a pair of stereo speakers and float your old tomb see the child.

The iPod connector is a bit 'disappointing. I put my iTouch and iPhones (it works with the flight mode). The sound was good, but nothing really translated on the screen. It Be Just imagine, play and stop bythe remote control. In the end I would still check out the iPod. The only difference to the LINE IN jack, the few buttons on the remote control and charges while the system is turned on. Panasonic has a much better job of this. Perhaps a firmware upgrade that will change. Although the system is muted when you connect your iPod, a reboot fixes it locked. I found this online.

Finally, with internet connection, you might think that could integrate Netflix and Pandora. But not yet. I hope that aThe firmware update will add it.

All in all, as Blu-ray Home Theater in a Box is great. I set with HDMI and optical connections everywhere, and it was worth it. But I would like maybe a 4.5 or 5 if not the front speakers so weak, was out of the box. But bigger is not a deal breaker as speakers really cheap which added Oomph missing.

I'm not an A/V expert, nor have I ever claimed to be. I do however, have years of experience working with consumer electronics and enjoy learning and utilizing the newest technologies.

This was my first Blu-Ray or home theater system. For the price, I do not think you could possibly find a better set up. Again, I'm no expert, however the system sounds good and works well. I had fairly low expectations, I didn't expect rich sound or accurate surround quality, I am very pleased with this purchase. After weeks of research and flip flopping between other products, I couldn't be more pleased. This product, for it's category (low end, Blu-ray HTIB) is a solid 5 stars. I think in the entire world of Blu-ray and HTIB products, it would be closer to 4 stars, but that's putting the item in the running with products that cost many multipliers more.

The two biggest Pros and Cons of this system are the same item: set up. Physical set up was a snap. A trained (or untrained, like myself) monkey could set it up. Everything is color coded and very intuitive. Buy yourself a cheap optical audio cable so you can feed your TV/cable/satellite/game console sound back into the system. The part of the set up that I didn't like was the user menu. I am very comfortable with consumer electronics. I rarely read the manuals. The menus are so unintuitive that it's not even funny. Out of the box and set up, the system works good. In order to get it to work great, took some effort. A HUGE gripe of mine is that the default setting for the HDMI to TV is 480p, NOT 1080p. It took some serious digging in the manual and menus to change. There are also three separate places to change the sound setting. One of them is a simple button on the remote, one of them are two rather unexplained buttons on the remote and the other is a menu item only accessible via front panel display prompts that the user guide poorly explains how to access. Anyway, even if you are comfortable with these types of products, be prepared for a longer than usual learning curve.

On the good side, again, this system is great. The picture is fast with no issues of mosiacs, artifacts, etc. The sound is deep and rich. I, in my humble opinion, think it sounds just as good as any other, more expensive system, I've heard. Again, I'm no expert, but my ears love it. It interfaces well with my TV. The remote was easy to program and the two (even though different brands) work well together. My regular DVDs are upconverted to a more than acceptable level. As far total speaker power goes, I'm more than happy. I put in Lord of the Rings and during the loud action scenes, we got some serious rumbling that I'm sure my neighbors won't appreciate. It felt like we were actually in a movie theater.

Pros:
Easy physical set up
Great sound
Powerful sound
Quick loading time
Quality
Price
Easy calibration

Cons:
Poor menus
Short (but not unacceptable) speaker wire length
Out of box settings
Cannot connect to the internet for services like Netflix

All in all, I'd highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a reasonable home theater system. Be aware that the menus are a pain. I think for the money, you just can't do better. I think even for more money, a lot more, you'd be hard pressed. I'm more than satisfied with the entire set up. Now that I'm used to the menus, it's tolerable, although A little confused by them
