I buy this product a couple of month ago and have to agree with a previous review that Sony have simply combine a dvd component with a receiver component and speaker . therefore , setup be trickier because there be no detailed instruction on how the two component work together , except for draw show how the two system `` could '' be connect . but while I be no av expert , it be clear to I that setup of audio component can be achieve in a number of different way . I will say it take I more time that I desire to setup this system .  that be say , I have be very happy with the quality of the sound and output of the system . the 5 disc dvd player be great for shuffling cd and when play a dvd , the dvd player have a setting that automatically detect the dvd recording type and select the optimum setting .  initially I have problem figure out the remote . in fact , the instruction talk about `` when you press so and so button ,  text will be display '' but what be not clear be that they mean the text be display on you tv when in `` video mode '' , not on the dvd display . after I figure this out , adjust dvd setting be easy .  overall I like the system , the sound be very nice and be just what I be look for . I would say that if Sony would include some better documentation that would discuss the component together as a system they could alleviate a lot of the setup confusion .  I would buy this system again .
