Welcome to a review of the Sony BDV-N790W 3D Blu-ray Home Theater System. This Sony home theater system is packed full with lots of extras. The sleek, modern design is very attractive and the rear speakers are easy to mount since they are wireless. The system is easy to install and operate. With 1000 watts of power coming from the speakers, you will get stunning, crisp surround sound. Being WiFi enabled makes it very easy for you to connect to the internet and view movies, listen to music or watch your favorite youtube videos. The HDMI inputs also allow you to connect a gaming console, an iphone and other devices important to you. If you own a smartphone, it can be used as a remote control which is a very nice feature since remote controls seem to get lost frequently.
The remote control that comes with this home theater system is part # RM-ADP072. A common disappointment with this remote is that the remote sensor is poor and to make it work you have to point it in just the right direction, at just the right angle.
Though the majority of individuals who have purchased this system are very happy with the sound quality, there are concerns with some of the features offered. As far as design is concerned, some users have commented that the receiver is a bit on the large side for a compact unit. An FM tuner is part of the system, but it does not include AM, which has been duly noted by many. Apparently load time is an issue – the load time to turn the TV on, to load DVDs and to switch between functions. This system does not provide any means of adjusting individual sound levels such as bass, mid and treble and does not give you a way to tweak the front or rear volume levels which can be frustrating for any sound quality enthusiast. Overall, however, with all the features provided in this home theater system and its crisp, clear surround sound, most users are very happy with their purchase.
PROS:
• Good price for a mid-range home theater system
• Excellent sound quality with surround sound
• Lots of features including Internet connectivity
• Easy to set-up and install
CONS:
• No way to adjust sound levels
• No AM tuner
• Slow load time
