I have now for over four years, the Sony DAV-DZ Heimkinosystem 340th
This system has convinced me in every way only at this time. The sound is bombastic and I never separated myself from this system when I was let down a few weeks ago my subwoofer. One of the membranes is broken, so that the bass was just unbearable. As I said this system so I would never give up I have made the search for a replacement. However, I realized that the DAV-DZ340 is no longer to be found in the product range of Sony.
Long story short, I had to separate a heavy heart of the system.
From the outset it was clear that only a home theater system from Sony comes into question.
On my exhausting and intensive search I came across this 5.1 system.
After a few searches and browse test reports, I made the decision myself to order this.
Here I have to say that I have the system not ordered from Amazon, but with Saturn in the online store. Simply for the reason that I at further inquiry still can go into one of the stores and presence aüßern my problem. In retrospect, I have to say that my worries were completely unfounded and I this would be ordered on Amazon.
Delivery and packaging:
The package comes in a relatively large packaging with approximately 20-21 Kg weight.
Just enough that the woman from the post hard did that thing out of the car to get.
Construction and connection:
Connecting this system is no problem at all and should really prepare anyone trouble.
The cables are all color-coded and already been connected to each of the speakers.
The two front speakers are built relatively quickly. The two parts together and secure with the supplied screws. Who has the assembly instructions overflown times short, this is not an issue.
Back to the speakers is described in what position they must be erected.
Place the speakers and then only the plug into the receiver stuck finished.
Building I already know from my old system but in this Genaeration the structure has been simplified even further by a multiple.
Furnishings:
The set up is very simple. When you first start the installation wizard takes you through the application menu. Wireless devices, etc. were no problem and the connections were made after about 1-2 minutes.
Set the distance as well as the level of each speaker now still under the sound settings menu and then you can start right away.
At this point I have to say, the menu really impressed me and is beautifully designed.
Sound:
The sound is very impressive. I like it really if the sounds are very clear and intense the Meet here definitely.
One can choose between different sound modes such as DTS Cinema here. This simulates the plant Suroundsound and outputs it in the cinema sound back.
On the modes I would now not go exactly, but who cares for the Bedinungsanleitung on the Sony website can download and read through the variety of modes and how they work and gets to act.
The system really has a good bass and I must say the subwoofer does a very good job.
However, and for me that is a big point of criticism, the system offers only a slightly higher volume but optimum sound.
My old home theater system like this one had a max. Volume of 33. On my old, I had to be careful that I did not come about 18 because otherwise my subwoofer would have torn down the wall. When BDV-E4100 I have to turn up to 28 and so should get the cinema sound as it was with my old.
So when I adjust the volume so high up to 28 turn I feel like a hearing impaired although the sound from da is only acceptable.
And here I must say that I can upshift only 5 volume points and then already the maximum is reached. As for the volume it leaves much to be desired, but the intensity and the surround sound are world class and outdo my old in the full course!
Who uses this as just the normal TV should reconsider his opinion again.
But whosoever looketh on a lot of films
Conclusion: volume flop (would calm can still go loud)
Surroudsound and Bass Top gee (now I know why the system is so highly rated)
Style:
Yes Design is always a matter of taste. Personally I am a great admirer of impressive industrial design. The system evaluates the space visually and makes it appear more valuable. When other people enter my living room, covered the large front speakers immediately catches the eye and show the concentrated power that goes into them.
The materials of the speakers are only plastic but the design with piano finish evaluate this on.
All in all:
Appearance and performance are unmatched for this price range !!!
Volume could be bigger but otherwise I am very confident especially through sound modes.
Who value strong buy recommendation for all film fans in industrial design, sharpness and sound intensity: From me.
