Sony DAV-TZ140 5.1 Channel Home Theater System

Nice for the money

It's hard to find a reasonably priced home theater "system" with all the features you want. This one had 90% of what I was looking for. The DVD player plays everything I've thrown at it so far, including "back-up" DVD-R movies.
My biggest disappointment (s) are you cannot tone down the base, adjust the speaker volume independently, nor fine tune the frequency ranges through the equalizer function, and there are very limited audio inputs from other sources. Although the system claims to be 300 watts, when the surround selection is made for movies, the volume seems to be a far cry from that claim. Thankfully I have a moderate size living room. In my opinion, this may not be powerful enough to manage a large room.

Hooking up the system was straight forward and the wires were long enough for my needs. The wires have stripped ends to insert in the input clamps, rather than RCA plugs, which was OK with me. The perimeter speakers are nothing to brag about, but seem to be adequate for the system. All in all, assuming nothing "pops up", I am very pleased with the systemRead full review

Nice Product

Great product for the price.
Pros: good sound and price. Plus DVD system comes with input connection for auxiliary sound.

Cons: The USB port does not play video files, only pic and music.>
Overall: for the price of the item, it justifies the quality which I was impressed. Keep in mind you can always pay more and get less.Read full review

Perfect replacement for our current system

We purchased and loved this same system years ago, it has performed flawlessly until the disc eject mechanism failed recently. Trying to find a similar replacement was not going well from the size, price and feature standpoint. I took a chance and did a search on eBay and found this new unit which was an exact replacement. All good, I replaced the receiver/player and we are back in business with extra speakers!! It was brand new, in the original box, we could not be happier with the product or the seller.Read full review

Refurbished, but very much like new in appearance and sound

This system works great. It is my second purchase of this system, now I have two.
One is on my projector system, the other on my big screen TV.
They both came carefully packaged. No handbook, but easy to hook up
because the speaker wires are color coded.Read full review

great value

its great system for the price, i bought it because i didnt like the speakers on my tv and this system changed that, but the only thing i didnt like about it is that it only has only one audio rca input, no digital audio input, so to connect it to my 4k tv i needed converter, other than that its great system and great value for the $$Read full review

Nice product

300 watts was not enough to get the sound we wanted. Upgraded to 1000 watt Sony system and its much better. Will keep old system and use it in bedroom or somewhere.

Never sony again

This unit has the weakest tuner I have ever seen. On top of that there is not a antenna available to aid in tuning. Other then the junk they provide. My friend just purchased a 1300.00 Sony TV that can't be mounted to a wall . Never again!Read full review
