all the other review seem to be write by audiophile who know what they be talk about . I be a single mom who just love movie and buy this because of price and other review . I have a harder time set it up -lrb- manual be awful -rrb- but go into the Sony.com site where they have tutorial and take it from there . sound seem so rich compare to my regular projection tv and I be a happy camper . I still have a mess of wire to deal with , have to figure out the remote and see if I can consolidate my three remote down to one -lrb- ? be that possible ? -rrb- , work on the sound balance and mount of the speaker but I be just happy I do not blow up my tv try to configure everything . THere be cheaper system out there but I want a dependable name brand that look well build . so I be content - now would one of you other reviewer explain all the rest of the mumbo jumbo audio stuff to I ? LOL
