Sony BRAVIA DAV-HDX589W 5.1-Channel Theater Used Pricing, Average Home Theater.
Average Home Theater,
Let me list the problems I found with this system, which is emphasized by others:
This house is very good sound quality when playing DVDs, but when you're listening to the sound through optical digital cable box audio sound levels deteriorate drastically, even when the cable box feed Dolby 5.1 input.
Its not very easy to change sound modes from the remote control, as you must press buttons to select the desired volume setting
The most annoying problem with this device is that processes always optical audio, and you have something connected to the audio input RCA (For example: console gaming). There is no solution for the remote to switch between different optical audio input RCA disconnecting the power to your cable box, if you have audio feeds from the game console.
I have a 4th generation iPod, and the system plays the songs from it without problems, but does not show the iPod menu on the TV screen. You can navigate the iPod from the iPod screen only (though you can move tracks from the home theater remote control). E 'annoying that every time you change a track, you need to get closer to your iPod tracks and switches. A similar system from Panasonic (SC PT760) beautifully displays the iPod menu on the TV screen. I do not know if this problem exists with the second-generation iPod, as well. Sony has not mentioned this anywhere in the manual.
Finally, support for the technology Sony Home Theaters sucks big time. Do not waste your time trying to call them. Are not of much help.

| Review by Jim (Wash DC) 2010-05-16 For my kitchen, I was looking for a good radio / CD combo with a docking station for iPod. Sony CMT-LX20i guess would be a solid choice, as the name of Sony's price (~ $ 110) and the relatively good reviews it received. After a bit 'use, I have always been dissatisfied with my choice.
