The subwoofer turns, as in the price range usual, though unfortunately a bit too much on (also at the Philips plant). Which one can but something with manual level control counter (subwoofer on -6db, all others to + 6dB). Even from 30% of total capacity, it would be too loud anyway for the lower neighbors.
The remote control is unfortunately very ugly (which was very classy with Philips), but seis drum. The design of the boxes is great - and the front cover is fortunately not as shown here "gray", but actually black.
Also, the Blu-ray player itself is, unfortunately - Sony atypical - very ugly (And how to get it, so to choose a green / turquoise tone, leading to absoluts nothing fits in the electronics world, I will probably not understand) but ultimately it is virtually invisible negligible under the TV, therefore.
Also almost negligible is the fan noise, which unfortunately occurs immediately after turning. But this has any complete system or favorable Player still is, too bad. However, it is then only supplied without sound will be heard and possibly quite easily in very quiet passages in movie or music. In the end for me (very sensitive when it comes to annoying noise) but still okay.
Problem was the easy short cables to the rear speakers. They would (and they were the example at Philips) about 0.5 - 1 meter may be longer or need.
All in all, remains to write: I am glad that I can save so much in the area (there are indeed as already mentioned, in fact people who are happy only with a 2000 Euro Speaker Set and 1000 Euro AV Receiver), and look forward to the upcoming movies and Playstation 4 evenings. In addition, it is really fun to stream with Spotify and Co Music.
