3 out of 5 stars   Would love this if system didn't freeze

Review submitted for Sony BDVHZ970W - Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment System (SNBDVHZ970W)
Pros: Interfaces Well With TV, Clear Sound
Cons: System freezes frequently, Difficult To Set Up
Other Comments: I love the whole idea of how streamlined this whole set is. Unfortunately, I am highly annoyed at how the system freezes frequently. I end up having to shut the whole thing down and that is no quick process. It takes minutes, not seconds, to shut it down. And then there is the time to start it back up again. Usually that fixes the problem, but not always. Naturally, I contacted Sony to try to get some resolution for this issue since this was a brand new unit. They told me it is eligible to be covered by the warranty, but wanted me to pay $30 shipping to get the unit serviced. The principle of the matter is that the issue is theirs and I should not have to pay to have it fixed. At this time, I am just dealing with the inconvenience of having to shut the system down versus the cost and inconvenience of sending the system in to be worked on. I guess I'm holding out for a software update that will *hopefully* correct the problem.

5 out of 5 stars   Great product for the price
By NVHUNTER on November 15, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Sony BDVHZ970W - Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment System (SNBDVHZ970W)
Pros: Easy setup great sound, price
Cons: Bluray streaming
Other Comments: For the price this was a great buy. The sound is great and the setup was so easy, I did it without reading the instructions. The only problem I have had so far is the Blu-ray player does not stream well with Netflix, so it keeps buffering. A problem I do not have with any other player I have in the house. I went on-line and found this to be a problem with most Sony Blu-ray players. According to some things I read, apparently Sony likes to keep tabs on what it's customers are doing, so they sent the stream to their servers first and then back to the player, which is why the movie will not play continuous.

4 out of 5 stars   Sonu HTIB BDV-HZ970W Receiver
By Kevmeist on November 04, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Sony BDVHZ970W - Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment System (SNBDVHZ970W)
Pros:
Cons: Not true wireless rear
Other Comments: Not really wireless rear. Wireless from front to rear "box". Rear speakers must be wired from that box. Out of the box, when I turn my TV on & off, the Sony receiver switches on & off. I assume that this is a control signal on the HDMI cable. So, with my cable remote set to turn on & off both the TV and DVR, the receiver also powers on & off. No programming, really neat. These speakers are 3-ohm...not sure why Sony does this. When I setup Twonky on my Windows Home Server, I found that AVCHD files are not supported by the receiver (even from our new Sony camera). The video starts to play but almost immediately freezes with a message about audio not supported. The Sony support site doesn't even appear to have a support section for products starting with "BDV" therefore, I assume, no firmware upgrades? Seems kinda odd to me.
