This blueray home theater system and is very design and very complete. The player can be positioned either vertically (as pictured), horizontally or hung on the wall (you need to add the screws). It is of course connected to the mains. the blueray player has two USB ports, an Ethernet port, a transmitter / receiver bluetooth, two HDMI sockets which one CRA to connect to your television (which allows for the sound from the TV's speakers), plus an optical output , an antenna input for radio and video input. In front, the buttons are touch sensitive and CDs / DVDs are inserted from the side. The subwoofer is quite imposing and connects wirelessly to the reader through two Bluetooth transceiver. We can not do otherwise. The satellite speakers are for their part connected to the subwoofer by two cables with color codes for the left and right position. It will of course connect the subwoofer to the sector. Finally, an iPod / iPhone dock completes the look as well as a remote control. In terms of functionality: the classic home cinema, radio and CD / DVD player. Everything is very easy to switch between different modes. The controls are on the screen of television (the display on the drive remains anecdotal) include the expensive display Sony PS3 and discovered, simple and very easy to use, the XMB media bar. We select and drive almost automatically determines the correct mode of necessary sound. The downside, for me, it is not really possible to finely adjust the voices of the speakers (bass, midrange and treble) outside pre Sony settings. The reader is connected to a network jack, you can go on the internet with integrated browser (I have not tested it) and also to access the contents of his computer (music, photo and video) through the UPnP protocol / dlna. As for the iPod / iPhone dock, connect the USB and the video jack on the TV. You can then access all content on the TV by choosing the type of data you want to view. For photos it's a little more complicated, because you have to switch to the video input of the TV and view photos by scanning them on iPod. Or this is not very convenient or I did not understand how. Continuing with the iPod / iPhone, you can download from the appstore, remote control app that can control the drive through the iPod / iPhone if all equipment are connected to the same wifi network. To test. Finally, the icing on the cake, the system allows Sony Bravia connected with a single remote control to run all the equipment, ie PS3, TV, home cinema and blueray player. An example: start the blueray player, television will automatically launch and pregnant. At the end of the film, one can switch to the TV and stop the speaker and the reader through a single remote control or stop with a single press. In sound, it changes a lot compared to a normal TV speakers but do not expect to end up like the movies. After three days of use, I found the bass a little weak and a little too sharp, but this by playing on some settings (the distance of the latter relative to our position and a measuring decibel -6dB to + 6dB for each speaker) there must be a way to navigate. In conclusion, I do not regret my purchase. The films have taken on another dimension and design is really great. Finally, possess all its equipment in Sony's really a plus in terms of ease of use.
