Although there was a minor glitch in the programming, with one do over, it was relatively easy to program from the computer.  The list of components that it will control is rather complete and included all my Sony components and the digital box the cable company uses.  The battery lasts a long time between charges and is easy to use and charge.  You need to get accustomed to holding the remote in place until all the separate signals are sent to the individual components, unlike the immediate response of the supplied remote.  Just imagine that you are "talking" to each of your components one at a time with a short delay between each command and you are in business.  The remote is well marked so that you can easily select what you want to watch or listen to, in simple terms.  It really does replace a whole handful of remotes.  They are now put away in a drawer with the batteries removed.  Great product and I hope it lasts forever.  As my experience was before with an Amazon purchase, their performance with the purchasing procedure and shipping time was absolutely excellent.

This is one fabulous DVD Micro system. It does it all and is very reasonable in price. It is by Audiovox. It plays all dvd's MP3, any cd even on home made discs and has 2 great speakers. The picture quality is great considering the small 5" screen and the sound quality is fabulous. I have this in my kitchen and use it all the time. It does not take up much room and makes a great little shelf system. I am extremely pleased and happy with it. There is a built in video screen and a remote.

Just a good basic system with 1080p for the price, I had a hard drive and monitor that I used and was easy to set up.

I love the system, and it works well.  Wont resume from hibernate so I don't use that feature but its low power consumption mixed with solid reliable family computer processing is just what I wanted.  I wouldnt try gaming on it, it may work for that in a limited sense but that isn't what I bought it for.

System was simple to set up and works well.  Did have a problem with the keypad siren, but the company expediciously send a replacement part to resolve the problem.  For the price it appears to be a very good value and a good system.  I believe I will be well pleased with it and would recommend it to any do it your selfer.

Excellent system which works well in light and dark.  Comes with all necessary parts - ALL. A little like a Heath Kit to assemble, but it is easy and the tech support is superb.

Easy setup as advertised.  All seems to work perfectly.  I thought the setup would take much longer but it only takes minutes.  Instructions are easy to follow.  System dies we we wanted.

The Sony Vaio RZ22G is a nice system - with lots of software - DVD-RW/+RW / lots of ports / just about everything you might need.  Except - hmmmm - the video software ... - Call Sony about a problem with it during the support period - and after an automated survey of questions - then someone that doesn't even know anything about the computer gets on the phone to help you - need I say more - you ask for a supervisor - they put an "expert" on the phone - and still nothing.  SONY HAS NO CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!  If they did - with their nice machines - they would be good competition for the big guys - e.g. DELL -but - SONY HAS NO CUSTOMER SERVICE !!!

Simple setup and use. My system is a cable box, sound system, Apple TV, and a Samsung tv. The program groups works well.

This Sony system is what I was looking for.  It consists of a receiver and five speakers. Three hdmi inputs, iPod dock, line in, digital audio in, and a hdmi out. I use a PS3 for my blu-ray so i wasn't looking for an all-in-one that included blu-ray/3d player. this uses a receiver only which becomes the central hub of the entertainment system. I've had a couple issues with the TV speakers staying on while the surround was on when using my magnavox TV. From what I've read this system plays nice with a Sony TV but my problems are easily remedied and in no way a major drawback.
  Girlfriend loves the iPod dock, i wish it had a Walkman dock but I'm stuck using the line-in 3.5mm jack. Setup was easy, calibration was easy, and there are lots of options for tweaking the sound for preference. I'm happy with it. (Oh, this package uses a "base tube" not a "sub woofer speaker")

This is my second surround home theater system from Sony and I am delighted with the quality of video and audio that I receive from this system.  There are several elements that I really like:

>  The single tray that holds 5 discs is perfect for me.  I can receive 5 hours of audio or movies without having to reload.  Best of all is the ability to play Super Audio Compact Disks (SACD).  I put on a Ray Charles SACD and it was almost like having him and the backup singers in the same room.
>  The 6 speakers (2 front, 2 back, center and woofer) are perfectly matched for full sound without a tinny, empty sound.  They are not the old big speakers many of us have and are now using for tables elsewhere but small enough to do the job and do it well.  The wireless kit was thought to be just a gimmick at first but when I installed it, I was floored at the superb manner in which it performed.  It picked up the signal from the receiver and transmitted the sounds perfectly.
>  The receiver played DVDs better than my older one.  The on screen picture appeared so much better and I assume that was the up converting to 1080p (an element not resident in the older one) and just better internal electronics.
>  The auto-calibration is one of the better features Sony provides.  If you have calibrated your system without this little device you went through a pluperfect pain.  This device is the cure all for that complex and time consuming job.  Just follow the on screen directions and bam, it's installed and working for the specific environment of the system's location.
>  Installation of any system such as this is going to take time.  Don't schedule anything during about a 3 to 6 hour stint.  Unpacking was no big deal.  It takes more time to unwind the speaker wires than to unpack the system.  The wires have color coded ends to be sure each speaker is matched with the receiver.  The wire ends are bare and that is great!  My old system had proprietary ends which made installation a minor problem.  But with the bare ends you can make modifications that you otherwise would not be able to do.  It has been said elsewhere that Sony does not want the user to use a spliced connection but without giving us a reason.  My specific setup demanded splicing and I did so.  It was and is no big deal.  Everything works well.

Some elements did not match with my needs fully and this is the reason for the less than perfect score:
< Why Sony did not include Blu Ray is beyond me especially when it is to Sony's benefit to do so.  Perhaps there is a pricing point that I do not get but it would have been nice to have had Blu Ray along with the other components of the receiver.
< Sony's speaker wires are too small even though they work O.K. but with a system such as this one it would not have cost that much more to have included a better gauge wire.
< Including iPod stuff was nice of Sony but personally I could not care less.  I don't have one and right now it is not among my most important needs.
< I found the exclusion of BlueTooth technology a thoughtless exclusion.  So many devices have that technology and this would have been the perfect place for it.  Personally, I would have preferred it to the iPod inclusion.

I have left out a lot of minor details that would not have added significantly to the excellent performance of this system.  They are icing for this great piece of cake.  Enjoy!  We do.

This is an amazing system for the price.  Its fast, big hard drive, touch screen.  Probably going to get one for my daughter-in-law now.

I was thinking of a surround sound system, but this sounds very good with just the sound bar and wireless subwoofer. Installation
was easy, and I had it up and running fast. I fit in well with the Sony Flat Screen, and did not take much space below the tv. The remote control was easy to operate too.

I have ordered this exact system numerous times and have had absolutely ZERO problems with every one of them (total of 6 orders for customers/family). This system is well configured for the price and comes with minimal software installed. I have noticed that these systems must be updated so it's important to know that when you first turn it on. Here's some suggestions:

1. When first setting up, create your user account and go through the initial setup.

2. When you get to the main desktop screen and see all your icons, click the Start menu in lower left corner.

3. Choose Settings and then choose Update and Security.

4. Immediately click Check for Updates and allow all necessary updates to download/install from Microsoft. This process might take some time but allow it to complete and restart the computer when prompted.

5. After each reboot, check for updates again and be sure to keep doing this until no more updates are found.

Once this process is complete, start using your computer as normal with necessary programs. A majority of the reviews I see are software related (and likely user error) and give this system a bad reputation.

Now on to my review:

This system is an excellent value and is configured quite well for a majority of users out there. It's Intel Core i3 processor is powerful enough for many basic tasks, internet browsing, playing music, checking e-mail, etc. It is not geared towards gamers or users who require a lot of processing power. If you are looking for a machine to handle graphics or gaming, this isn't the one for you (and you probably already know this).

At 8 GB of RAM, this system comes out of the box with an excellent amount of RAM. The recommended amount for systems is 8 GB to handle all the latest programs and allow you the power to multitask without any hesitation. 8 GB of RAM combined with Windows 10 is a great combination and the system is upgradeable to 16 GB.

1 TB hard drives have become the norm in most desktops. While most don't need this amount of storage space, it's still a large enough hard drive to store all your photos and music. As with any hard drive, make sure you have proper backups of your important files.

Overall, if you are looking for an inexpensive system that is well equipped, running Windows 10 and is capable of handling all your basic day to day tasks look no further than this system. At the current price of $375 you won't find a better deal out there.
