Sony HTSS360 5.1 channel Home Theater System (Black) Reviews
Great sound, good price and easy set up.
When I recently bought a new Sony 40″ LCD TV I discovered the TV speakers were better than my old cheapie surround sound system. I then bought this Sony HTSS360. I’m a long way from an audio expert but I know good sound when I hear it and this system has it all the way from the high to the low pitched sounds. I can now hear even faint sounds/sound effects I never knew existed with my old sound system. Between the new TV and this surround sound system all my existing DVD’s are like watching all new movies. It may be a little on the subjective side but my movies appear to have better color and clarity than when the feed was direct from my DVD player. Very easy to set up and play using one remote with the Bravia Sync. In my case just two HDMI cables, sat box and DVD player, to the receiver and one HDMI out to the TV, easy.
Great for the price
Overall, this is a great system. The sound isn’t five-star amazing, but you can’t expect that at this price, and it’s certainly satisfactory as an entry-level setup. As other posters have said, the speaker cords are a little short — we ended up splicing some 18 gauge speaker wire from Radio Shack on them to make them work, so plan accordingly if you have a medium-sized or large room. It’s also one of the few at this price point that has both HDMI in- and outputs, so if you’re using HDMI, consider this system.
