 Great Unit, but important note April 7, 2010
R. James Castelli (Germantown, MD)
This unit is a very nice blu-ray player, and general receiver. It also plays CDs very nicely. However, you have to use a HDMI connector cord from the player to the HDTV. If you do not use HDMI and use (as an example), component plugs, the picture on the HDTV will be somewhat fuzzy (actually unacceptable). So if your TV only has 1 HDMI receptacle, and you are currently using same for your regular TV channels, you will have to switch up and use component plugs for your HDTV regular TV channels so that you can "free-up" the TVs HDMI port for the Sony Blu-ray. You can buy a HDMI switching unit as a solution, but that is an additional unit and hassle, etc. Of course if your TV has more than 1 HDMI port you should be in good shape. In addition, it has no female port for your headphones, and my attempts to contact Sony to see if their S-Air technology can easily solve this issue were fruitless. Other than that, not too bad, but I would recommend searching for a very competitive price in light of the drawbacks.
Great system after speaker upgrade February 8, 2010

I have had a blu ray drive on my computer but this is my first component blu ray drive. It was incredibly easy to setup. The menus were a little confusing at times, but with the manual I could find everything I wanted to tweak. I must say I was impressed until I started listening to music and watching blu rays. The Bass was great from the sub, and the surround speakers immersed you in the product. But the fronts were just too weak and tinny sounding. I decided I would experiment with my old speakers from my DVD HTIB. They are 6ohm 100watt speakers that are a little bigger and wooden. OMG! the difference was astounding! I wanted to post this review just to let everyone know to grab a pair of your old stereo speakers and watch this baby soar.
The Ipod connection was a little disappointing. I plugged my itouch and iphone in (works with airplane mode). The sound was fine, but nothing really translated onto the screen. It just let you advance, play and stop from the remote. In the end I still would control it from the ipod. The only difference from the line in jack is the few remote buttons and it charges while the system is on. Panasonic does a much better job with this. Maybe a firmware upgrade will change this. Also if your system is stuck in muting when you plug ipod in, a reboot fixes it. I found this online.
Finally, with Internet connectivity you would think they could integrate Netflix and Pandora. But not yet. I am hoping a firmware upgrade will add them.
All in all, as a Blu Ray home theater in a box it is superb. I set it up with HDMI and Optical connections all around and it paid off. But I would have given it a 4.5 or 5 if the front speakers hadn't been so weak out of the box. But not a deal breaker as cheap bigger speakers really added the oomph it was missing.
 Tons of power. Very Affordable February 5, 2010

I wanted to write a review as I could not find one when evaluating systems on-line. I bought this one blindly and have been extremely pleased with the purchase.
Items to note:
1. Huge sound on BlueRay's and DVD's.
2. Picture quality is top draw on my 1080 screen. The up-converter does an excellent job on DVD's to an almost Blue-Ray quality.
3. The small speakers kick out a lot of sound. The radio portion is still weaker then I would like. But this is a home theater. I have a sound system for my tunes!
4. It was easy to set up. Following the cables colors it was put together in 10-15 minutes.
5. The book is lengthy so do your self a favor and download the PDF. You can search for keywords to your specific question and tackle any question in seconds.
6. The optic cable offers great sound reproduction from my Plasma TV. I thought I wouldn't use it because of the great sound I had from my TV. But now I find I use it all the time.
7. You can't beat the price!
I think that these were promotional items for selling with Big Screens during Christmas with bundled packages. My guess is that it is the exact same electronics portion as the BVD-300 and the T10 as they share the same manual. That is what I used for my initial analysis.
Love this! February 1, 2010

I am happy with this BDV-T11 home theater system from Sony. I bought it to replace an old Sony stereo component system. This system is very much like the BDV-E500W so you should read reviews there as well. The two systems are virtually identical with a key difference being that system has a higher power output at 1000W total whereas this system is rated at 800W total. That system has floor-style front speakers whereas this has tabletop speakers but the insides are exactly the same - it's just a style difference. You can check specs at Sony's website. I bought this one because the price was significantly cheaper at the time. It fills my 13x14 living room just fine. The sound is very good from both movies and music. The iPod interface is wonderful, replacing a 50-disc CD changer on my old system. I can watch podcast videos from my iPod Touch (through a composite cable only - it does not output iPod video though HDMI or component cables) and listen to my music library. The remote allows me to navigate through folders on the iPod. I connect my Vizio television's optical out to the system to listen to all shows through it. The cables for the rear speakers are long enough to reach the opposite wall in my room (with room to spare). Overall I'm very happy.
