Everything can be set up well with the accompanying cables and connect easily, even for beginners, this should not be a problem.
Blu-Ray:
Turned on and tested the first Blu-ray - Lord of the Rings Part 1 - to test even the bass (scene where the ring is struck by the finger and a pressure wave is created). Ok, well the bass is indeed there but not overwhelming, but it should be from this set also do not expect. Ordinary subwoofer that hammer out something, sometimes cost more than the whole set of Sony!
The sound quality for speech and effects is really very good, clear and precise. Something is missing, the volume, but the delicate appearance of the speakers, the result is very good.
The image quality is very good, I imagine that this is slightly better than the PS3. The details are a bit more defined. More resolution, I can not represent unfortunately with my TV. Here I would imagine that a 4K TV can display the advantages of the sets more clearly!
DVD:
Second, I tested a DVD, also here: Lord of the Rings Part. 1
The picture is visibly worse than the Blu-Ray, but much (!!) better than no upscaler on the PS3.
The sound is not full and punchy here, but clear and well structured. Here you can tell the difference between DVD and Blu-Ray. However, one can say that the set the best rausholt from a DVD and even improved - above all in terms of image quality!
Music:
Of course, you also have time to test what the speakers from today's music so rausholt what's more attuned to iPods and car radios, as on very high quality sound in your own 4 walls.
The results show that current music of the Bravo Hits is reproduced quite punchy and clear.
If you put now, however, a disc that has been created for high-quality playback, you realize that the set is limited downwards - this is probably the reason for the lack of bottom end - and orchestra will receive no plasticity and Stage like on a "real" system.
Conclusion:
The set is well worth the money. Blu-Ray, DVD and contemporary music is played brilliantly and to the full satisfaction. Only with high demands and complex music, this set is not the right choice, but you have then also well 10 times outputting!
Overall, a strong buy recommendation for designer's living room. ;-)
Who still has an additional 4K TV, will certainly be able to use other advantages of the set, so the future viability is very high!
Why then "only" 4 stars? Because I simply plasticity in "good" music and the bass pressure in certain scenes missing - but for the dimensions of the set, it makes everything "right."
