Customer Reviews
We wanted to upgrade our old DVD home theater system and were looking for something with great sound. The Sony BDV-E780 certainly delivers - we noticed an immediate improvement in the quality of audio from our old Samsung system upon inserting our first CD into the system. We were blown away by the entire experience as we watched our first Blu Ray. The picture and sound were movie theater quality. Really an amazing buy.
Appearance-wise, the system looks very nice. The main unit is a nice glossy black with sensory buttons. The onscreen display in minimal and looks nice. Most of the detailed options are displayed on your tv screen.
Initial set-up was easy enough with color coded cables and a walk through upon turning on the system. There is even a self calibrating microphone, which helps the speakers calibrate to meet your needs based upon where you typically sit to watch movies. The manual is quite long, however, so I imagine advanced customizing of the system to your preferences can be a little more complicated.
The wireless surround sound is a great addition. You should know that it is not truly "wireless" in that there are wires that run from the rear speakers to an amplifier. That amplifier can sit anywhere behind your couch and connects wirelessly with the main unit. In other words, it is only wireless in that you do not need to run wires from the front to the back of the room.
This is a great purchase and one I am sure we will enjoy for many years.
Having recently moved, my old 2.1 system was no longer sufficient and running wires was a total 'no no'
This system seemed to have the best reviews and actually had the wireless rear speaker device included, unlike some other systems that trick you into buying and then you find you have to fork out another $100 for the wireless transmitter !
Set up was easy and immediately it recognized the wireless speakers without any issue at all.
I was familiar with the interface as my old BluRay player uses basically the same. Netflix and all the app's work great. I have a wired Ethernet system throughout my house so cannot comment on streaming speeds via a wireless connection.
My only negative would be that the speakers are SO light, that they are easily knocked over by my kitty kats and when cleaning. Also because they don't feel substantial, one thinks they would sound crappy, but actually I have no complaints about sound at all. Not a crackle from the wireless speakers, you'd think they were hard wired.
It has 2 HDMI inputs, if you want more you could always attach an HDMI hub.
For the money, I don't think you can go wrong.
Nice to see Sony producing quality gear again
12/26/2011 : Well I am eating my words from this earlier review. Over the past few days this unit has developed a mind of it's own ! While you are sitting watching the TV through an HDMI input, it will randomly switch from the HDMI 1 input to the HDMI 2 ....or the disc tray will open occasionally, for no apparent reason. I replaced all the HDMI cables, the same thing happens.
Thankfully Amazon (as usual) are being great and have a replacement already en-route. Let's hope it has a longer life than this one....stay tuned for updates and again a BIG thank you to Amazon.
1/12/2012 : Received replacement and this one does not switch between HDMI inputs on it's own, BUT it goes through phases of the Disc tray opening and closing continually for no reason, when you're not even watching a DVD/BluRay. I have read this is a known issue. Plus the volume will turn itself down or up to the max, again, all on it's own. Whatever happened to Sony meaning quality and reliability ?
I am going to try one more replacement as there is nothing really similar out there with the same features. Of course it's back ordered until February (maybe because Sony are fixing the issues). I will update you in a few weeks.
1/17/2-12 : Well I think this is a lesson for everyone and should be in the description of the unit on Amazon in BIG bold letters, credit to jbhop, another purchaser, who posted that he had the same issue, caused by interference coming from his Plasma TV and to move the unit at least 3 feet away from the TV. Sure enough, so far, so good and I sincerely thank jbhop for his help.
This only seems to be an problem with Plasma, so if you have LCD/LED you should be fine.
