Product Reviews for Sony BDV-E580 1000W 5.1 Channel 3D Blu-Ray Disc Player Home Theater System

I am in awe and disbelief that the BDV-E580 3D Blu-ray Home Theater System came with two in HDMI connects when most come with only one out . It's easy to use home menu made for easy setup for personalizing the system to suit one's needs. I would recommend this to a friend or anyone looking to buy a home theater system.

Like the title states, this is my first home theater system that I have purchased. I have listened to several others, including a few Bose, other Sony and LG. I've done plenty of research and I know this system has had below average reviews, but I had a feeling 3 bad experiences doesn't make or brake a system. I am an avid movie watcher, gamer, and music enthusiast and so far I am blown away with the quality through Pandora, Netflix, and the Blu-Ray movies that this system produces. I have an Element Tv(Second Rate) and this Sony system looks and sounds perfect on this even. I'm not sure why everyone is having problems with this update, I updated it out of the box and no problems. The only thing that was a little annoying was the auto calibration system where the speakers yell at you lol but not a big deal. So this is definitely a great buy for the money.

I have had this for a couple of months so far, and right now I would say it was a good purchase. It was easy to set up, i like the menu, and the sound is terrific. Only negative I would say right now is that once i hooked up the system, i am getting an audio delay with my Verizon FIOS. Sometimes it corrects if i switch channels, but usually there is a delay. Very frustrating and I don't know how to fix it.

System was easy to set up and has great performance. Wireless feature works great. Streams movies from several sources.

This system has clear sound, rich bass, and well-defined treble. It pumps out a lot of sound despite smaller-sized speakers. My one complaint is the remote. It's very basic, with all the buttons jammed together and no backlighting. It's also not universal, so forget programming other components into the remote. Sony could have packed a better remote with this system. I'm a little concerned about reliability because I bought this as a replacement for a very expensive Sony Blu Ray microsystem that failed after less than two years.
