Sony HT-DDW670 Home Theater in a Box System Review

Sony HT-DDW670 Home Theater in a Box System Review from Josh. A leap of faith, I decided on the Sony HT-DDW670 after a week’s worth of thorough researching, and could not be happier. I picked up a digital optical audio cable to interface the system with my dvd player, and the difference in quality is very noticable . The complaints in reviews I have read about the ambiguity of the user manual are justified, but I breezed through setup in about 20 or 30 minutes (the only confusion the user manual caused for me was due to my wife reading through it while I was setting up and getting confused herself, asking me to clarify). The remote control is concise well layed-out, allowing you to call up every possible function while sitting comfortably on your couch. Being able to adjust the tone and volume levels of each seperate speaker is awesome and was a nice change of pace over my previous surround sound system: a Samsung which only allowed you to adjust tone for every speaker at once, and even then this could only be done through the remote (the remote sensor had malfunctioned, so I was stuck with whatever it was set on before it broke).
I can’t think of a single downside about this system, but I would like to clarify something: THE SUBWOOFER IS PASSIVE. This doesn’t bother me in the least as I live in an apartment and don’t care to have explosions rattle my brain as well as my neighbors’ picture frames, but I have seen alot of confusion on this matter in several reviews. A powered subwoofer requires a power source seperate from the receiver, but the only source of energy flow attached to the sub is speaker wire. The difference between this model and the 660 is the size of the sub speaker (8 inches), not a powered one. Even so, the sound is remarkable and manages to envelope you in whichever movie you are watching.
All in all, this is an excellent buy, even if it were priced $100 higher. But since it’s below $200, you can’t go wrong!
