Good solution for smaller rooms
Written By
Tom, North Jersey on Wednesday, January 13, 2010
Bought this system to replace my old 5.1 system. Was not even using the surround speakers- room wasn't big enough to justify.
Pros:
-Very impressed by the sound quality- fills the room nicely and imitates surround sound quite well.
-Plenty of inputs for hi-def components
-punchy bass (when sub is turned up)
-A/V synch- hook all your HDMI components thru this unit- say goodbye to the sound being out of synch with the video.
Cons:
-No standard def video inputs. Bad if you have a VCR, DVD (non-blu ray) player, or Nintendo wii. (no s-vid, composite, or component inputs)
-Only one RCA audio input. Could use more- I have a record player & Wii- both use RCA audio cables.
-fine tuning the sub levels requires fumbling with remote & menus. Should have a one touch sub adjustment button on remote! Come on!
Summary:
If you are looking to de-clutter but don't want to give up good sound- go with this unit. Just keep in mind the connection limitations if you have components using standard def video & RCA audio cables. You will still have to plug directly to your TV for those. Overall- I am happy with my purchase. Thank you Crutchfield!

Poor product, Disappointed

Can you imagine a home theater system without adjustable tone controls and only 6db adjustment to set the levels between the sub and main speaker? This thing sounds like a 250 watt thumping "Boom Box" with a few useless sound fields. The TV speaker provides better sound. Crutchfield support was no help in search for tone controls/set up - two calls and two reps - no help. Forget Sony support! Their service rep (Foreign) claimed TV tone control would work if audio was output direct from TV to Home Theater via separate cable bypassing HDMI cable. It doesn't.

Hey,I'm Impressed !

I purchased this unit to use with my 32" tv in my bedroom. The soundbar fits nicely snug up with the bottom of my tv set. The amount of bass is amazing and it actually sounds like the bass is coming from the soundbar.The simulated surround sound is pretty good too! I watched the "Fifth Element" on my bluray as my first test video. The sound was very crisp and the bass was tight. Don't worry ,you will be able to "FEEL" the explosions...don't let the size fool you. An adjustment on the remote can fine tune the sound if desired. I tried tuning the sound but for my bedroom the factory setting was fine.I had the unit setup in less than 5 minutes. Sony includes a nice optical digital cable and I plugged that into the tv for the tv sound. They don't include any hdmi cables :(... Sony covers all the bases with a good choice of inputs on the subwoofer. You can't go wrong with this setup and the impeccable Crutchfield service. I've been dealing with these fine people since the 70"s. So what are you waiting for? Go for it!

Sit Back and Enjoy!

Another fine product from Sony. This Sony HT-CT100 sound bar system provides the quality of sound I was wanting and more than met my expectations. It was easy to install and the help received from Crutchfield's Levi was all I needed. The lack of running wires made the wife very happy, as installation is very neat. My Bravia TV, DVD and Sound Bar System are all Sony from Crutchfield and controled by one remote. What a set-up!
Now its time to sit back and enjoy!

Excellent for the Money
Written By
David, Akron, OH on Tuesday, April 07, 2009
I wasn't expecting the virtual surround to work - and it doesn't - but I did think that it would provide satisfying sound for my bedroom - which it does. This little unit is excellent for a smaller room such as a bedroom or den. If paired with a Sony Bravia TV such as my setup, the TV remote will seemlessly control both units which was an important factor in my purchase. It is a big upgrade over the TV speakers and sounds superb for the money. It's very compact, convenient and I bought it from Crutchfield. Enough said.
