Customer Reviews

I've been using my 589W for about three weeks. The wireless is crystal clear, no problems with other wireless networks and other devices in the house degrading sound. Mine is connected to a Toshiba REGZA ClearScan 240 47ZV650U. Image and sound from DVD is great, TV to receiver the same. Really easy to set up, the speaker auto configure mic is fast and easy, still lots of manual control to personalize.

The receiver's remote is for the Sony only and can not be programmed to control the TV, however, both the cable box universal remote and Toshiba REGZA link had no problem controlling the Sony equipment. So by menu selection, the Toshiba starts, controls and shuts down the Sony receiver.

This system is amazing. After I hooked everything up, which took about an hour, I had to do a little dance and squeal a little bit with how awesome it is. I tested out the ipod function first and it was amazing. It felt like Apocalyptica (look them up they're awesome) was playing all around me. While watching movies I've actually been startled a few times because I thought someone was behind me talking...even though there's a wall behind me....

Anywho, the price for this thing was great. It's about a hundred bucks cheaper than other places that i've checked. I did purchase a Digital Optical cable and i'm glad I did. Amazon sells one for like 7-8 bucks. If you're buying this, it's not gonna break the bank.

All the cables were color coded greatly. I ony had to look at the manual once and I could probably only tell you the actual names of maybe 2 cables.

I chose this system as an economical surround solution for a second living area. I have been impressed with the quality of the sound and the intelligent user interface design. This system sounds great and is very easy to use. It took barely an hour to setup. The wires have plug in connections that make the parts particularly easy to put together. The wireless rear speakers work wonderfully and remove the need for running wires around the entire room.
