Great sound, no digital inputs

I spent weeks listening to high end audiophile systems and was dismayed to learn that to be happy with these systems I had to spend over $3000 on amp and 2 speakers, which I had no intention of doing. On the way home I bought one of these for under $300 and was shocked to find I liked it better!

The sound is quite good, amazing on DVDs and very good on CDs. The speakers are attractive and unobtrusive. However, there are some drawbacks:

1. no digital audio input. Multi-channel audio is limited to the built-in 5 disc changer, no chance for upgrading to new DVD formats or to connect a digital input from a satellite receiver.

2. the style of the main unit left me wanting something different (your tastes may vary)

3. the speaker wire uses proprietary connectors- need a few more feet than are included in the box? you’ll be splicing.

4. I read that the digital audio connector to computers only plays windows formats- no iTunes connectivity.

5. The 5-disc changer loads one at a time and takes a long time to switch; I found myself forgetting what was in each slot and it took a long time to switch around and find out.

But, like I said the sound is very good. So if you can live with the feature limitations this is a very very good deal for the price…. read more ….

Well Researched… This is the one you want for under $300

Pros: Surprisingly refined. Upconverting to 1080i dvd changer. Upgradable to wireless rears.
Cons: Only one pair of RCA audio ins. Choppy sound switching.
I looked at many home theater systems for under $300. I found this one at Sears online for $249.99. Listened to all, went to six stores. The DAV-HDX265 outperforms all the competition. Already received two complaints from the neighbors. The most full encompassing frequency range for the money. Will rattle your windows….read more….
