Amazon.com Product Description
Sony's DAV-BC150 home theater shrinks a roomful of fancy equipment into a compact, easy-to-use, all-in-one system. The silvery set features a slot-loading five-disc DVD-Video changer with built-in surround-receiver abilities and color-coded speaker terminals, five satellite speakers, and a 110-watt powered subwoofer. The components are designed to work in concert to deliver spectacular video quality and exhilarating, full-bodied surround sound from both DVD and music sources--including recordable CDs filled with MP3 music files. Regardless of the DVD, you'll enjoy discrete, multichannel surround sound through native Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel decoding (left, center, right, left/right surround, and a ".1" low-frequency effects signal for the subwoofer) as well as from Dolby Pro Logic II, which generates multichannel surround signals from any stereo source, be it TV, CD, or even cassette tape. Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DAV-BC150 stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. Choose from progressive-scan component-video outputs, composite-video, or S-video outputs. (Older TVs may require an RF modulator or video switcher to convert composite- or S-video to a threaded RF coaxial jack.) After just minutes of setup time, you'll be able to enjoy the DAV-BC150 from the repose of your easy chair with the supplied easy-to-operate Remote Commander remote control. The system's FM/AM tuner offers 30 station presets (20 FM, 10 AM), and Sony's 32-bit digital signal processing algorithms let you enhance your movie, music, or TV programs with simulated acoustic effects from a variety of environments (hall, arena, church, etc.). Auxiliary connections include one each analog- and digital-audio inputs to accommodate a VCR, camcorder, gaming console, or cable box, and a headphone jack grants private listening. What's in the Box
DVD player/integrated surround amplifier, 5 satellite speakers, a powered subwoofer, a Remote Commander remote control (RM-SS250), remote batteries, a user's manual, all requisite cabling, and warranty information.

 Average System March 19, 2007
Average system. I was happy when I brought it, especially because of ease of setup and also as I own a Sony TV, I can operate with one remote.
Points to consider before you buy
1. Not very many inputs and outputs. (If you want to route audio of multiple system like TV, computer, audio systems you have to keep switching wires same with video if you have a TV and a projector).
2. The DVD changer is a bit on the slow side.
3. No zoom, which is annoying some times
4. The sound is OK not very great.
lacking important features June 27, 2005
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I bought this system 10 months ago, and initially I was pleased... simply because it was a big step up from what I had before. That's not saying much, though. I would strongly advise others to purchase a different system. I can't comment intelligently on sound quality, but this home theater in a box lacks some basic and important features:
No random, which is bad if you are just listening to music.
No zoom.
You also can't continue to play a disc while changing others. You also will lose your spot if you attempt this.
Oh, and mine stopped working... that's the main one.
Guess I was naive and expected more from sony.
 If I could rate this with 0 stars... April 25, 2005
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
If there was an option to rate this system with 0 stars, that would have been my pick. First of all, Sony has always been known for its impressive line of electronics and certain entertainment systems, but I must say I am extremely dissapointed with this system. It was enough that the music sounded like trash because no sound came from the smaller speakers, proving that this system was not made for parties or using it as a source of "surround sound". Another issue that bugged me beyond belief was the fact the system takes about a minute to turn on, as if its a damn computer. Forget about switching between CD's, that takes about a minute between each one to load as well. The Volume button is also frustrating because they are buttons and not a knob. For someone who enjoys to partake in a loud music session once in a while, this system is not for you. If you had a chance to see how loud it gets, you would be very upset, because it almost could compare to the loudness of a boombox or even worse a COBY system. Hate to see this from a line like SONY, but its the truth and its sad.
Not All That Great March 20, 2005
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I think we have some Sony reps on here posting 5 stars and phrases like "Sounds Great" because the first thing I noticed was the lack luster sound for being 650 watts.
The volume indicator only goes from 1-40. 40 seems like an incomplete number on a volume scale , and it seems to be very indicative of the seeminly lack of volume at MAX. The bass was practically non existant , even after flipping through the cumbersome menu to raise to 6 (its max). There is no boost for the front speakers, only balance, sheesh! Overall I thought the speakers had a very "canned" mid-range sound. I would give the over all sound a 5 out of 10. My old 400 watt panasonic actually sounded better.
Didn't notice any difference with "night mode" on.
Didn't notice any difference when setting surround speaker distance.
Didnt notice hardly any difference when setting center speaker level.
There are no nail holes in the back of the speakers, so be prepared to by your own speaker mounts. I thought this was TOTALLY lame.
Any plusses? The no brain speaker wire hookup makes it easy. The separate buttons and lights for loaded DVDs is cool.
Maybe if it was cheaper than the $299 retail price it would have deserved 3 stars but this thing is a solid 2.
Edited 6/26/2006
It died after owning it for 15 months.
I wish I had taken it back when I first got it.
Poor quality sound, now poor reliablity.
Downgraded to 1 star.
Oh and the SONY autmated phone system that steps you though about 30 questions for about 20 minutes and then says, "sorry no one is available during non business hours" is the most stupid thing I have ever heard of.
