great! real cinema experience! May 27, 2008

This is great piece of kit. It truly feels like you're in a cinema. Just watched a bit of pirates of the caribbean and the quality is so much better! (upscaled to hd). the sound is amazing crisp and clear, and the sub-woofer is superb, enough to rattle the ornaments off your table.
The setup is extremely clever and useful, it gives you options on where to put the speakers for maximum performance and so it knows where to blast the sound. You also have a great little microphone configuration thingy, where you put the mic where you'd normally sit (at ear level) and it figures out the right amount of sound for each speaker and finds out where to channel the sound.
It looks great by the way, sleek and thin, but it's actually quite long. (the picture doesn't show that the actuall player goes quite far back)
The radio is amazing! (gets a 100% signal almost everywhere i put it)
I can easily play music and look at photos from my memory stick and plug my ipod touch in and enjoy music!
ONLY BAD THING:
This is a superb machine, and would be even better if you had a ps3 so you could use the player to get the gaming sound perfect.
Sadly, it can't connect to the 360, so i've still got to use the tv speakers when playing my xbox. Theres just no audio in! But i may be able to use an optical splitter. (hopefully)
anyway, i've got to say it's a must buy and for this bargain price you can't lose.
p.s. the delivery was pretty decent, Ordered on the 20ths of may using super saver delivery, and it came on the 27th (at like 4pm) from hdnl.
a great piece of kit!

Brilliant system. Fairly easy to install using the supplied setup mic. for the speakers and once you've done that Awesome. Me and the kids watched Transformers and they now think iam the best dad ever.The sub woofer makes the room shake(dont buy if you have neighbours below you).
Superb New Kit or Upgrade June 11, 2008

I upgraded to this unit to replace my old Sony SAV unit of 6 years old and have not been at all dissapointed in the performance.
The only main reason for upgrade was to have the upscale functionality and previous to this purchase I had gone for the Panasonic range but returned as there is a constant low level hiss from the speakers when no sound is coming from the system. After checking alocal retailer for all models in the Panasonic range I realised this is by design.
The Sony however is quiet unless you are obviously playing something (as I would have expected).
Picture qaulity with the upscaling is fantastic on the 32" 1080i setting and the sound is awesome.
This unit also comes with a mic to use to auto calibrate the speakers which works really well.
A must buy item and it makes me realise that I should have not strayed away from Sony in the first place.

Ordered this sunday 24th August came on the 27th. Been looking for something like this for a while now. Been reading all the reviews thought to my self I have got to have it. Works brilliant on the ps3 & sky+ the only thing is I have only got one optical cable. Ordered a optical splitter box which come's with two optical cables just under a tenner from a different web site.Couldn't believe the sound when I played cod4 on ps3 I even ducked when a car blew up behind me! Plugged the optical cable in the back of sky+ and watched diehard 4 brilliant. Just remember to change your settings on sky to optical and stereo. Looked at it in comet and currys 179.99. Thanks amazon brilliant bit of kit.
Excellent product October 29, 2008

After having the dz230 with absolutely NO inputs I deceided to upgrade to dz260 as I wanted to utilise the DD5.1 from my Sky HD & Xbox 360. Delivery from Amazon was excellent as usual and the system is very basic to set up even customising is straight forward. Now my only issue was a lack of optical input (obviously this system only has 1 optical in) and both Sky HD and Xbox 360 have optical out's but a simple purchase of a 3 way toslink switch (not splitter as Sky boxes still output a signal even when they are in standbye mode which will cause signal failure!!) and 3 x toslink cables and job done. I have read in many forums about different set ups and some people saying that the optical switch's don't work etc etc but for anyone looking for a great home cinema system and looking to connect Sky HD, Sky+ & Xbox 360 via optical this has worked for me a treat!! You also get the DD5.1 icon appear on the front of the DAV when it receives that signal NICE!!
Optical switch was 1.99 (down from 12.99 I think) and is very good quality and cables from 99p don't be fooled into buying over the price toslink cables!! Links below.
I hope you have found this useful.
