This is a waste of good money  |
|
Got this unit for Christmas. Remote control doesnt work properly. Unit only works in "manual" mode which means you have to get up off of the sofa to operate it. I called Sony support @ 1800-222-SONY for technical help and they couldnt even tell me how to operate it. The unit seems to be hung in "manual" mode. When you press the power on button the red light comes on. When you press "open" on the dvd drawer, the red power on light goes off. Sony doesnt have a qualified technical staff to support their expensive products. Also, the dual remote will not operate my 25 inch Sony TV monitor. My suggestion is to buy a different brand besides Sony.

The DAV-S500 is a superb piece of kit from Sony, proving once-again that Sonys affordable electronics dwarf other big makes. Great sound, great picture, great all-round DVD player.
But, like with all things both good and bad, theres a drawback. Even though theyre pretty trivial, the Remote is a little on the fiddly side, with semi-important buttons represented by little buttons, featured among unimportant buttons. (Mainly the Function button(i.e. DVD, Video 1, Video 2, Tuner), and Mute.) Also, placing it in a medium/big room would improve the sound, and it could resound more & surround the listener. Having it in a small (i.e. bedroom-sized) room, the sound is a little too direct & (for want of a better word) non-surrounding.
Despite these minor problems, though, this is a great system, and would slot discretely into any (not small) room with ease.

Sony Dav-S500 review |
I have recently purchased this system and can honestly say that it is brilliant value for money. Action and sci-fi movies are brought to life with impressive sound effects, and even more subtle scores on movies such as the Legend of Vagger Bance are given new persepective with the davs clarity and ability to reveal even the most subtle of nuances. The ability to connect it upto several sources such as the playstation (which sounds excellent!) and sattelite will give hours of audio pleasure ensuring that youll never be wanting to switch the system off.Overall an excellant product with which to explore DVDs true potential!
