The design I found always somehow appealing, this black, which is interrupted by blue color accents like that. I particularly like the lighting of the Blu Ray player in the operation. When the system then arrived, I was surprised how powerful the individual parts look as compared to the pictures, and especially: Modern sees the system from! Sony typically some parts such as the center speakers are larger than life, which I like, however.
The system is fairly easy to set up, it goes so fast. And so I soon could already test the sound ...
I tested the sound of this system with the 3D Blu Ray of "Avatar: Film Title", because this film has both a crazy picture, and a rich sound. After installing the system, the speakers are automatically set with a microphone. Actually quite good, but I was missing, especially in massive scenes of rumbling bass. Thus, I was looking at the settings for an option to set up the speakers individually and manually can. After a long search I was also able to find. For those who also look for it: Setup - Sound - Speaker settings - standard (or front) - level. Now you can adjust the volume in decibels here. So I put the bass on full volume and also the rear speakers louder.
Now I felt finally like in the movies, a madness of bass, etc. just so thunders at spaceships, machine guns, rockets, and a fantastic surround sound, which is further improved if one takes the sound mode to "3D surround".
There are other sound modes such as Auto (automatic), Movie (Movie) or Night (night mode, so that the neighbors not notice in an apartment). Very interesting for football fans could probably also the sound mode "Football" to be. This one provides a logically connected with football matches. Thus, the voice of the commentator is removed and raised the volume of the studio audience. This means that you as "Middle" feels.
Even music sounds great, but I have to say, the greatest strengths of this system are in movies. There it plays completely from its power. "Avatar" was a new experience, but also in horror movies, the full sound enhances the horror and scary factor considerably when one suddenly hears noises behind or thunders a deep dull bass.
I am surprised what a great sound coming from such a small and inexpensive for the power plant. It is really worth spending the money for this. Absolute buy recommendation!
