Did the facility ordered a flat-screen TV, as the built-in speakers in the TV so because of the low depth of course are not very good. The complex itself is not bad. Great design and good functionality for that price. However, what bothered me from the very beginning is the fan. I could not believe it that Sony installed as a loud fan. It has in the device almost completely dispensed with vents, so active cooling has to serve by a presumably 40mm axial fan. So unusual that's not (some Blu-Ray player or other home theater systems have also). The fans, however, is so loud that of a cozy movie can be no question, because the fan is clearly audible (quiet passages in the movie or dialogs). It hums and whistles in an unpleasant tone. If you hold the fan by hand to something, the fan can be heard, but pleasant. If the Blu-ray drive is used, the emission of the device naturally increases even more. I know now some home theater equipment (especially Philips) and who have either no fan (for some cooling vents on the top of the unit) or an active fan when needed, to be but only briefly heard when he starts. My father has one of the first Sony home theater equipment. The device has a higher power and is Muxmäuschenstill.
Furthermore, the resort offers at no activated Pro Logic sound settings (no EQ presets). Furthermore, the sound mode can not even change a button. For this, the sound mode setting must -> A menu to be activated, EQ presets and the sound mode can be changed.

Another point is the relatively long switching on and off. The unit needs good 10-15 seconds until it receives instructions. With Quick Start function is activated (increased standby consumption) can be reduced even though the.
