im looking at sony DAV units at the moment but ive been told they have problems with there internal boards.
soldering been to dry and it falling off so you then have to open up the boxes and re solder bits.
what is everyones ratings on the units they have at present? lets say
audio
build quality
ease of use
ease of setting up
lets say 0-5 0 been poor 5 been amazing

I have won a system off ebay
Sony DAV S400 5.1 surround sound comes with 6 speakers in total.
my room aint to massive so I dont need a stupidly powerful system to create alot of ambionse.

via optical cable
its one of these.
you get a true dolby/digital sound.
RCA cables is Analogue. so you get slight interferance latency kinda like a small hum noise in the speakers. optical cable takes that away .

Im running
Philips Ambilight 32 Inch LCD
VSX D2011 7.1 Amp
Vifa Sense Front speakers (to make it 7.1)
Kef 1005.2 System (5 speakers and sub)
I use a Chord HDMI cable
Use the digital optical for the sound
awesome set up ill have to get some pictures up sometime
was originally going to go for a philips or samsung 5.1 but didnt want another dvd player so decided to go seperates plus the speaekrs were tallboy ones, the kefs push out 100 watts each, the vifa push out about 200 if i wanted but amp only powers 7 x 100 iirc, i went on an av mission tbh and spent about a grand if not more on the stuff

Is anyone using hdmi for the sound and not optical, I probably won't be able to hear much difference but the boffs say it's an awesome experience.
