my purchase of a nice sony 32inch wega require the accompanyment of a nice surround system . the ht5100d have a bunch of wonderful aspect . First and foremost it have amazing dt playback . with the optical cable hook up -lrb- which be not include and range from about 40-80 dollar -rrb- this system sound crystal clear . it allow you to adjust to the imperfection of you living room or anywhere else you might put this system . for example ... this system allow you to choose the surround sound quality and the distance speaker be set from one another . this allow for a excellent listen advantage in any room . another excellent thing be the cd\/dvd changer . although I think I would never need a dvd changer I be so wrong ... with the addition of almost 100s of dvd it be imperitive that you have a changer . another great thing be the visual aspect of this system . it be entirely gray ... which if you own a Wega like I match perfectly !  now a few downside ... the cd playback be a bit weak . in fact if you not run DTS the system in general be a bit weak . you need to seriously crank it to catch the key phrase . something that I do not need to do with my old Harmon Kardon system ... -lrb- of course that system break and be 100s more expensive ! -rrb- another downside be the bass . a mere 50 watt pump a un-impressive subwoofer . with such a nice high sound system I expect a bit more in the low range . of course sub be sub and you can always upgrade later , although currently Sony do not offer a great selection .  overall this have be a great system . it be powerful and what be more it be very price worthly ! you get a lot out of this system for a small price , even if it do eventually end up in a spare room somewhere it will always be reasonable . enjoy , and remember to upgrade on the cable ... espcially the optical , it make all the difference ! happy listen !
