Sony HT-DDW900 DVD Home Theater System Review
November 17th, 2009
Sony HT-DDW900 DVD Home Theater System Review from Jeremy Tuttle. GREAT, I just received this last week. From the reviews, I gathered enough information to make the purchase. Everyone was saying it’s the best bargain for the price. It IS.
I hooked it up today and was ASTOUNDED at how nice it sounds. This thing compares to my father’s Bose setup. The only difference is how high you can turn it up. For mid-sized rooms, this system goes PLENTY loud enough to fill your insatiable appetite for sound. The system has plenty of inputs and outputs, including 2 fiber optic inputs, component inputs, many RCA inputs, and even HDMI pass-through.
One thing that needs to be mentioned: this system doesn’t actually decode or process HDMI audio, it only through-puts the audio and video signal. It’s great for cutting down cable use (use HDMI for video and audio instead of clunky component tri-cables and RCA audio). You can find HDMI cables on the CHEAP if you look around. Then just use digital coaxial or fiber optic for sound.
*EDIT* To clear up some confusion. HDMI Pass-through means all this system does is “pass-through” the signal to your TV. It DOES pass-through the audio and video signal BOTH; however, the receiver doesn’t interpret it. The sound will not play through the receiver (via 5.1 setup) but the audio WILL play through your TV. Simply passes the cable through the receiver into the TV. Why is it even on the receiver if it doesn’t provide audio support, you ask? It provides two inputs and one output. Cuts down on cables. You can switch between the two.
The bass is superb. It’s not “rattle your guts and make you think something is wrong” loud, similar to competition subwoofers or Bose systems, but it’s AMPLE for a mid-sized room.
I can’t recommend this system enough. For $250 (or less if you look hard enough), this is one of the best bargains online. Great sound, great quality, great value.
Minor complaints: speaker cable is thin, subwoofer cable isn’t long enough for rear-mounted subwoofers, receiver itself is kind of big. Nothing that hinders this great deal, though.
