we have only have this item for a month but I have to say we be well please with it . we have a large -lrb- 18 ' x 25 ' -rrb- live room but still do not feel like we need one of the large 5-speaker system . what we love about this Sony be -lrb- a -rrb- super easy to use - you do not feel like you need to go back to college and get a engineering degree to operate it ; -lrb- b -rrb- the sound be extremely good . the bass will blow you away on the dvd 's & CD 's and , yes , it be adjustable ; and -lrb- c -rrb- it co-operate with we Harmony remote for the most part . there be one minor issue with the Harmony in that it will not go back to the correct input when change from watch a dvd to watch tv , so you have to inform the Harmony that all be not right and it will go through a series of question to correct itself . that glitch , however , be not Sony 's fault but Harmony 's and we hope that Harmony will create a `` fix '' for it soon . and finally -lrb- d -rrb- it be super inexpensive to purchase . bottom line , so far we be very happy .
