Bro,
I'm in the mist of getting a home theater for my new condo and was recommended this Sony HT-SF470.

And im a newbie in this area. Can anyone give me opinion on this home theater?

TQ

Bro,

For this model, it does not come with a DVD player nor a Blue-ray player.

If you already have a PS3 and would want sound system for gaming and Blue-ray movies, I would recommend this. (If you don't have a PS3 but want one, there is a package price for both items).

If you already have a DVD player that has an HDMI output, then I would recommend this. If you only want to play DVD's and don't care about PS3 or Blue-ray, then buy a model that comes with a DVD player.

If you want to watch DVD and Blue-rays but don't care about PS3, then buy the model that comes with the blue-ray player.

me too, eyeing at this model.. but is there any available in Sony style/centre?? i've been to BTS and a few Sony centre, most of them dont have it.. if you have seen any, pls advise..

Bro, i am planning to get dune 3.0 prime and also nintendo wii

Looks okay then. Dune got HDMI and Wii is using Analog right? (not too sure).

Sony shops I don't see them stocking on this unit. I think maybe need to order. But it is in their latest Sony Time catalog for RM1999.

writing on the web coming soon...
so i dont think anywhere selling yet..

honestly, if you're getting this you gonna need to either spend 2k for a 3D blu ray player or a PS3 Slim because I don't think model will be priced below RM3k... but it would be a nice match for the PS3 Slim...

Bro Aaronwee is quoting me for RM1900. I think i will get it from him after getting review from sifus out there

I think the Philips model gonna give the Sony a run for its money...if I'm not mistaken, Philips offering DTSHD and DolbyTrueHD...not sure abt Sony

so smooth.. nice..

wow..so cheap??
It isn't even released in the US yet.. how did Bro AaronWee get his hands on it?

Oh.. just saw the suggested / expected retail price... it's USD550

So Bro, wanna grab 1?
hehehe

retail price is RM1999 as stated on the latest Sony magazine

btw, its already in demo showcase @ Sony Style KLCC

Bro, how was the sound? Good on movie and music?

they demo FF13 MTV only...

overall, i think its pretty decent...1000w RMS

but this dont have DTS HD MA & Dolby TruHD, from what I saw in the link.. correct me if I'm wrong

yeah, if got DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD ill buy it straight away

From what I understand, If you have a PS3 or any other source which can decode DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD, this unit will be able to take the decoded input from PS3 and output the uncompressed sound.

this HT system doesnt comes with a BD player but you can purchase any BD player and hook em up.

you will get Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD.

example :

The BDP-S370 (BD player) supports both internal decoding and bitstream output of enhanced audio codecs, including Dolby® TrueHD and dts®-HD Master Audio11. These HD audio formats deliver lossless surround sound with up to 7.1 channels of discrete audio for uncompromised sound.

Bro, you mean if i use dune prime 3.0 to play my BD, i still can enjoy the Dolby® TrueHD and dts®-HD Master Audio11 sound?
