 I Enjoy This Tiny System! |
| Review Date: August 3, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Damon Johnson, Queens,New York |
I recently purchased this system, as well as the WAHT SA10 wireless rear hub and the EZW T100 transmitter, and I tell you small speakers or not, this sounds nice. I've had no problems with the rears being out of sync ( using wireless ) and this system pumps out a very clean sound for PS3 Blu Ray movie watching ( which is all I really use it for ). I use it for my 16 x 16 living room and have a 'heavier system' for the basement, ( onkyo 605 receiver/jbl 5.1 speaker sytem ). By no means am I an audiophile, but at $299. for the system, $137. for rear hub and $49 for the transmitter ( I know, why should we have to pay extra for wireless rears when it should be included with the system, especially when the system msrp's for $699. ), I thought I'd give it a try for HD lossless audio and am not dissappointed. Bought it for ease of use and reduced clutter.
Set up was a 30min breeze. I connected the speakers to the wall using 3M picture hanging strips, ( yes the speakers are that light, but seem very well made ) to avoid holes, and also you have to keep the sub inline with or very close to the fronts as its producing the mid range as well as some of the dialogue. Did auto calibrating, but did make adjustements to the bass,treble and mids. The bass really pumps on this system, especially when playing back High Def Audio so if you live in a apartment, remember the neighbors.
I know the audiophiles will tell you that you can't get a quality 5.1 surround sound with speakers this small, but I'm telling you that you can. If you make this purchase, be sure that when you set up the speakers though, try to keep all placement around or slighty above ear level, it makes a big difference.
Not gonna get too deep into everything else, since other reviewers have pretty much covered the rest. |
Love It

| I've been in the market for a system that had compact speakers with a powerful output. I've found it in the Sony HT-IS100 system. I purchased the system to replace a system that we've had for over 5 years and I was amazed with the output. It was simple to set up. It took less than 30 minutes to get going. The speakers are almost unseen, yet powerful. I would recommend to anyone. I LOVE IT. |

Pros -
Includes AM/FM receiver
Excellent sound quality for both surround sound and listening to music and radio.
"Wireless" rear speakers work great once you get it up and running.
Bravia Link works flawlessly with Sony Z series LCD and Sony DVD.
Ipod Dock works excellent and has a decent interface.
Looks great
Good tech support available
Cons -
Kind of Expensive, especially when you add in the S-air unit and ipod dock to the mix.
Does NOT upscale output. A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!
A bit tricky to set up the S-Air features - required a 30 minute tech support call. HINT - Cold reboot after installing the S-Air components.
After the automatic surround sound setup was performed the system still required manual tweaking.
Other thoughts -
Comparing this to the Yamaha YSP-900 it replaced I would rate the Sony's sound quality a tad bit lower but the surround sound effect much better. When looking at the cost of both systems I think the Sony makes for a better solution if you don't want to run wires all over your room. |
Fantastic system!!

| I brought this about 2 weeks ago. I have it set up 5.1 with the rear speakers wired. I have a MOXI HD DVR, My iPhone and a Samsung BD-4600 connected to it. My Harmony one remote coordinates everything. The setup was simple and the mic calibrated everything quickly I was up and running in no time. HDMI switching is flawless, The sound is fantastic. I have it for my bedroom and it rocks!!! Now the only thing I would of like if it would came with DTS HD and all hi def sounds format but it still sound great. I was very pleased to see that it comes with a iPod dock, I would of like for it to be more compatible with the iPhone since it puts the phone in airplane mode and it function as a regular iPod. Sony did a great job on this, I highly recommend!!!!! |
Stylish , sleek yet a powerful home theater system

The first thing you notice about the HT-IS 100 system are the tiny speakers.
Your first thought will be how loud can these things go without distorting. Well , I had the same question and I am pleased to say that I found no distortion to very very high audio ranges.
I could not take it to its limit because a couple of neighbors complained that the sub-woofer was shaking their walls. :):)
The system performed admirably in all modes. The speaker set-up is like any other system so no biggie here. The best thing is that the speakers can hardly be noticed. Only from the sound you can tell that there is some high-end sound system setup in that place. If you don't like big speakers creating a mess in your living room this is definitely the system you want.
Overall this is what I have to say:
Pros:
1)Excellent sound.
2)No distortion at high audio ranges.
3)Sound is true across all modes.
(Tests : Blu Ray Movies -
a) Dark Knight
b) Casino Royale
c) Gone in 60 seconds
d) Planet Earth
Games -
a) Metal Gear Solid
b) Resistance
c) Fifa 09
d) Killzone
Music -
a) Def Leppard (Rock)
b) AC/DC (Hard Rock)
c) Eric Clapton (Classic)
Cons:
1)Display on top. Have to sit close to the system to see the display.
