Sony BDV-E770W Review: 5.1-Channel Blu-Ray Home Theater System
A subdued, matte gray look makes the Sony BDV-E770W quite attractive and sophisticated—and you won’t have to worry about fingerprint smudges. The sound quality of this home theater system is impeccable too. With wireless rear speakers, you can have a comprehensive home theater without all the clutter of wires. The model includes all the major streaming services and DLNA media, and is 3D compatible. The interface may include some extraneous choices that keep it from being completely streamlined, but it’s still easy to navigate the menus. The only real flaw is the lack of HDMI inputs; hooking up (a maximum of three) external devices requires you to use a USB dongle. Still, the plethora of feature and excellent sound quality makes this Blu-ray model well worth the price ($479.99).
