I purchase this home theater system base on good review on CNET , and the fact that it would be pair with a Sony lcd tv -lrb- which be also faulty-another story -rrb- . BIG MISTAKE ! the sound be not a big improvement over the tv speaker , would not read any dvd -lrb- keep say no disc -rrb- , no radio reception , hard to control with cable remote , and when I would get disgusted enough to get rid of it , could not even use the darn speaker elsewhere because of proprietary connector . the Sony `` customer service '' person , in goodness know what country , be of no help , and want my credit card number to initiate a repair order , since the product be a couple of month out of warranty . no way be I give they another cent of my money or another minute of my time . somebody kick in the rear if I ever look at another Sony product .
