Sony DAV-DZ170 Review
A home-theater-in-a-box ranked highly with consumers, the Sony DAV-DZ170 comes with a special disc to aid the setup process, which is already fairly self-explanatory. The 5.1-channel speakers produce a rich, adjustable sound with 1000 watts, and with an HDMI cable, DVDs are upscaled to near 1080p quality. We were pleased to note that the BRAVIA Sync remote control handles all the connected devices in one. While there is no Bluetooth, a USB port in the front of the box allows you to connect your iPod or iPhone to pull up music and other media. For a reasonably priced home theater system at $199, this Sony model delivers the goods without a lot of fuss or extraneous features.
