Sony DAV-FC9 DVD Dream System
Fantastic HTIB
This system is a fantastic HTIB (Home Theater In Box).  The DVD player provides a very high quality picture (especially if you take advantage of the component outputs).  It may take a while to change CD's when listening to music, but if you just burn an MP3 cd then you can listen to aboyut 250 songs on one CD anyway.  The head unit is also sleek and attractive.<br />The surround sound is fantastic with this system.  With each channel at 100w and an ACTIVE (this is important) 150w subwoofer I don't see how anyone could complain about the sound.  <br />A third point about this system is its asthetics.  It looks beautiful in any living room and the floor standing speakers look REALLY nice.  Sure I suppose you're paying a bit for the Sony name and the looks, but if you can have those 2 things with great sound and functionality then why not spend a little more and never have any regrets.  I know I won't.
