Sony HT-SS2000 Component Home Theater System for Sony Blu-Ray Players Reviews
The reason it says *FOR* Sony Blu-Ray players is because the front of it is constructed to match the look of standalone Sony Blu-Ray players. It was very easy to setup and has excellent sound for the price. To everyone giving bad reviews, low stars, and complaining because this unit does not have a Blu-Ray player integrated with it: YOU NEED TO RESEARCH AND READ THE DESCRIPTION MORE CAREFULLY. I've had this unit for close to a year now and I've been totally pleased with it. The title for this product says *FOR* Sony Blu-Ray players, NOT with. The description also says "NOTE: Blu-Ray player NOT included." Not every home theater system has a disc player included with it, and this is one of them.
You would see this if you were to read more carefully.
Anyone who thinks they can get a home theater system including a player for less money than a standalone player has got to be totally nuts.
If you do decide to use auto-calibration and aren't satisfied with the sound quality, I would suggest following the advice of the others on here and reset the unit and/or make manual adjustments.
While many reviewers on here say they had problems with the auto-calibration and it made the unit sound awful/tinny, I had absolutely no problems with it and it worked great for me.
I'm using a regular Sony DVD player (haven't taken the Blu-Ray plunge yet), Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, AppleTV, Dish Network, and Sirius satellite radio with this unit, and it all works great.
Just because you didn't read/research properly is no reason to give low stars or a bad review.
Another clue that this unit doesn't include a player is that it costs less than a standalone Blu-Ray player.
This is so if you own or purchase a standalone Sony player you can have a matching look between your audio/video equipment.
Maybe it depends on the size/setup of the room you have it in.
or you can set it to auto and let it set its self. I have my PS3,X-Box 360 and a HD-DVD player attached to the receiver.Just hit the corresponding button on the remote that you have that items HDMI hooked into and you are good to go. I have been waiting for a system to be in the right price range and have audio sent through HDMI. I got that and more. There are a good amount od sound schemes to go with what you watching ( Action,sports,music.). I do have an Optical cable going from the TV to the Receiver and with this system I am in the middle of my favorite movies.
I have had this unit for close to 4 months now. While its not as nice as the Bose, its pretty high up their. The auto-calibrate is bogus and the menu through the small lcd screen does get annoying sometimes, but overall its a great surround sound system for the price. One of the main reasons for getting this unit was the multiple HDMI ports on the back and the 1000 watt capability. If you have this TV stand and want to attach the center channel in its described location, you will have to either drill new holes or get different brackets. I would not recommend this for someone in an apartment, as it can get pretty loud without realizing it (found out the hard way).
Despite what many reviews say on here, the sound is truly amazing. The audio sync function is great for matching up with the TV speakers, as sometimes one will have a slight delay. Their are a few times when I hear noises through one of the side speakers and think its a noise in the other room. I have the bass setting fairly low, and even then it cause some rattling with furniture in the room. Note: The center channel does not line up with the Sony SU FL300L TV stand brackets.
IT WORKS FINE. MIND YOURSELF THAT THIS ITEM IS JUST A RECEIVER, IT DOES NOT ACTUALLY PLAY DISKS HOWEVER THE SOUND IS CRISP AND CLEAR, EVEN THOUGH THE SPEAKERS WERE MADE WITH TIP PLASTIC AND THE MENUS ARE CONFUSING BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT SEE THEM ON THE TV (VIDEO OUTPUT) YOU HAVE TO CONFIGURE EVERYTHING IN THE LITTLE DISPLAY THIS SYSTEM HAS. MOVIES ARE CLOSE TO BE REAL (SOUND AND VIDEO) THIS ONLY IF YOU ALSO HAVE A 1080i or 1080P TV MONITOR. ANYHOW IF YOU HAVE A PLAY STATION 3 TO MATCH THIS RECEIVER, WE ARE GOING TO BE HAPPY. CAN'T BEAT THE PRICE, BUT THERE IS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENTS BY (SONY)
Spend the same amount on a Playstation 3. It can play Blu-ray discs, DVDs and CDs. Easy setup. Great sound.
Very limited unit. I admit it was my fault and bit on the bait.
. However the name is very misleading.
DON'T buy a Blu-ray player. I thought it included a Blu-ray player but it only MATCHES the Blu-ray player that is sold seperately.
P.S.
It is also internet wireless ready and I can access Netflix online and my home computer to display pictures and video.
