I already have a Sony 5.1 system, simply because it was cheap. The connection of the system works simply because the sockets and cables are clearly marked in color. The initial setup very painless. The default setting is tonal, however, well let's say oriented times to riot. The powerful subwoofer to and the small, lightweight and malleable by lightweight plastic stereo speakers do not harmonize with each other. The system has clear weaknesses in the treble. Through a bit of readjustment in the sound management can only solve this part, but the amount of bass is too dominant in the normal setting. For an action movie that may be certainly an advantage, but if you take a simple look only TV, then go to one of these "Through the Rug sound" already on my nerves
