Sony HT-SS2300

Features
 

The Sony HT-SS2300 packs quite a bunch for not a lot of cash. Featured is a 1000 watt digital amplifier. This will assure that you are able to hear every detail and nuance of your favorite movies. The amplifier is divided into 5.1 channels, with 143 watts going to each channel and 285 going to the subwoofer.
 

5 speakers plus a subwoofer are included with the Sony HT-SS2300. 4 of the speakers are identical with the center channel speaker being wider and narrower to better accommodate flat panel TVs. The center channel speaker is also magnetically shielded, in case you plan on using this with your CRT TV.
 

With Sony’s BRAVIA Sync technology not only are audio/video signals transmitted via the HDMI cable, but remote control functions as well. What this means is what used to require multiple steps to turn the TV on, the home theater system, and dvd player is now all one function. This should make life easier for at least a few people out there.
 

The Sony HT-SS2300 also has the ability to stream music from networked computers, Bluetooth enabled cell phones or iPods. You can purchase separately a docking station for your iPod or Network Walkman to have total control over your devices.
 

One of the more difficult tasks of home theater ownership (and one that most people don’t even bother with) is calibrating the system properly. Sony has addressed this by including a microphone with the system. Place the microphone in your listening position and press a button and the system does the rest automatically.

 

Experts liked that the system was designed with Blu-ray and flat panel TVs in mind. The sound quality was about average for a system in this price range.
 

Users were impressed by the overall sound quality. Many felt this system sounded better than many systems that cost much more.
 

Summary
 

The Sony HT-SS2300 is a good solution for those who need an easy to operate system that works well with their new Sony TV and Blu-ray player.
