Super Sound Sony

by MichaelHatton Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Apr 19 '01
Pros: Excellent movie performance, in both picture and sound; small unit; DTS & DD 5.1; radio
Cons: Distortions at peak volume level.
If you think a home cinema costs £1000 plus, think again. This Sony DAV-S300 includes everything you need for home cinema. When I first got this I was very impressed, the first DVD I ran of it gave sharp vibrant images, and plenty of options for DVD's....

Sony DAV-S300 -- If You Need Home Theater Cheap, Simple, and Tiny

by radioguy Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Mar 23 '01
Pros: Relatively easy to set up. Very compact.
Cons: Really small, cheap speakers. Low amp power. Not the best audio performance.
If you want a home-theater surround-sound audio system but the thought of connecting a DVD player to an A/V receiver intimidates you, then Sony's got the perfect product for you. With the DAV-S300 "DVD Dream System," the DVD player and the A/V receiver...

An Amazing little system

by LiQiCE , Dec 09 '00
Pros: Excellent price, awesome sound, overall great DVD player
Cons: Limitations of input/outputs, Can't play CDRs, All-in-One systems can get outdated more quickly.
I was originally pricing around for a basic DVD player when I came across the Sony DAV-S300. For a little bit more than your average priced DVD player (I paid roughly $475), you get an entire home theatre! For a smaller sized room the DAV-S300 is...

by eltonlin , May 26 '01
Pros: All-in one package, great price, good sound, nice features, Sony quality
Cons: Could be more powerful, remote, limited number of video in/out
DAV-S300

One nice, neat, easy to use, yet high quality entertainment package.

To be brief, I'll provide a slimmed down review highlighting the good and bad points of this system- Consider it an 'at-a-glance' review.

Just Amazing...

by joan.coll , Jan 01 '01
Pros: All-in-one system with a little size, DTS and a great price
Cons: Lack of input/outputs.
A month ago, when I begun to look some home theater packages, I started looking at some big systems like Onkyo, Pioneer and Yamaha, all composed by the DVD reader, the AV receiver and the kit of high speakers. I asked for some demos of this devices, and...

Good but troublesome

by siberian , Dec 28 '00
Pros: Tiny form factor, big sound, featurific
Cons: Quality control issues
When I first saw this system I had to have it. Tiny form factor, high tech look and it matched my Sony WEGA Flat Screen. I bought it and brought it home immediately. Setup took about 30 minutes for the most part, it doesn't get much easier then this...

Great Brand, Bad Concept

by soupcraze Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, May 04 '01
Pros: Easy To Use, All-In-One System, Internal DTS
Cons: Weak Bass, Poorer Quality Speakers, Cooling Flaws
The Sony DAV-S300 is an all-in-one system from Sony. The Sony DAV-S300 includes a DVD/CD player, with a reciever/amplifier. This isn't like other home theater systems. Most home theater systems use recievers that don't have built in DVD or CD players,...

Excellent all-in-one system

by ejdeleon , Dec 27 '00
Pros: complete all-in-one system in a sleek silver design
Cons: mediocre remote control and documentation
The Sony DAV-S300 is my baptism into the realm of DVD and Dolby Digital Surround Sound and I must admit it was quite an impressive experience. I have been quite hesistant to jump onto the bandwagon of DVD for the longest time primarily because of the...

Fantastic All-In-One Solution

by nick1326 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Dec 29 '00
Pros: Price, performance, versatility, features/functions, appearance
Cons: can't play all CD-R's, passive subwoofer (only a problem for larger rooms though)
When I began searching for an all-in-one, plug-n-play DVD home theatre system I didn't quite know what to expect. On one hand I wasn't certain if I should simply buy the seperate componentry and abandon the idea of an ideal out of the box system,...

Dream may be overstating it

by Thoughtful , Oct 23 '00
Pros: Small, relatively high value
Cons: Eggs in one basket, busy remote
I like this system (Sony calls it the Dream System) a lot -- but it's got some shortcomings that will matter to some consumers. The short answer is that it's a good value and that you should consult Mikemac's review as well -- I agree with most...

Excellent Home Theater for a Small Room

by mikemac , Oct 02 '00
Pros: All-in-one design, ease of use, value, unique look
Cons: Underpowered, a little pricey, few inputs
This system is being advertised as The Sony Dream System, and I can see why. It is one of the easiest systems to like, and it is clearly aimed at a niche of the market between the true "entry-level" systems and the...

Great for small places

by suilobo , Mar 03 '02
Pros: sleek & stylish, simple, ideal for small room, Dolby Digital & DTS
Cons: no component out, not for audiophiles
If you're reading this review then you've done more research into home-theatre-in-a-box systems than I did before purchasing the Sony DAV-S300. Can't really say I regret getting this particular system though.

First the drawbacks (in case any...

Wonderful for apartment life

by teknomage , Mar 22 '01
Pros: Stylish sleek sliver box, great sound, easy setup.
Cons: Could use more power for speakers.
About 2 months ago I was looking for a DVD surround sound system for my apartment (since my roommate moved out and took all of his stuff) when I came across the DAV-S300. At first I was really attracted to the small silver box purely for its looks but...

Great system for small to medium room only...

by qblunt , Dec 13 '00
Pros: Awesome sound, great price, all in one..
Cons: Not powerful enough for bigger rooms, but its not meant for that...
I bought this product because I was looking for another DVD player to buy for my bedroom. I figured why spend another $300+ for another Sony dvd player? When this one only cost $540.00. And what you get for it is well worth it. Its a dvd/cd and am/fm...
