Few have the vocal chops and suave delivery to reinvent classic material, but the debonair balladeer Downing, an ardent fan of Nat King Cole, puts an astonishingly fresh stamp on "The Christmas Song" with David Sanborn accompanying on alto sax. "The Little Drummer Boy" morphs into an island jam, "White Christmas" becomes a late-night groove with Kirk Whalum's tender jazz riffs and a Stevie Wonder-esque harmonica solo, and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" gets a salsa-tinged dance treatment. Beyond these standards, Brooklyn native Downing offers a few original tracks, including the future classic "Christmas Time After Time."

Will Downing plays Variety Playhouse Fri., Dec. 10, at 7 and 10 p.m. $36.50 each show.

2004 Olympic gold medalist Andre Ward (18-0, 12 KOs) and Colombian knockout artist Edison Miranda (32-3, 28 KOs), who collide this Saturday, May 16, in the main event on a special primetime edition of ShoBox: The New Generation live on SHOWTIME (9 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the west coast) at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif., participated in a free open public workout attended by several hundred fans and media Tuesday at The Plaza in Oakland. The 12-rounder between the unbeaten and No. 2-ranked Ward and the hard-hitting Miranda highlight the biggest fight card in the Bay Area in years. Here's what the main event fighters had to say Tuesday: (more…)
(Another) boxer becomes a promoter!
By Bob Caico
Boxing gave recently retired heavyweight Paul "The Italian Hitman" Marinaccio the opportunity to get the word out about the ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, often referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease). Many times Marinaccio donated his purse from his matches to the cause that took the life of his good friend. Now the Buffalo, NY native and Cary, North Carolina resident wants to give back to boxing by starting his own promotional company: Jawbreaker Promotions. (more…)
Meet the New "KO Kid" Spina
World rated light heavyweight Joey "KO Kid" Spina has had an overall attitude adjustment but he still possess the same devastating power punching ability as always as he gets set to headline the May 22nd "Rage At The River" show at Twin River Event Center in Lincoln, Rhode Island. Spina (24-1-1, 17 KOs), 31, is rated among the top 15 in all four major boxing organizations – No. 12 by the WBC and WBA, No. 13 by the WBO, and No. 15 by the IBF. The rugged Italian-American from Providence, former IBF Inter-Continental and USNBC super middleweight champion, has won four straight since suffering his only pro loss in 2006 to cross-town rival, Peter Manfredo, Jr., in which, Spina suffered a broken left thumb in the early goings. Joey, admittedly, hasn't been fully focused since then but he has a refreshing new look on life and boxing, which has resulted in a born-again dedication aimed at fully preparing him for a world title shot in the not too distant future.

Undefeated bantamweight Yonnhy "El Colombiano" Perez finished 10 weeks of preparation for his IBF Eliminator against Silence Mabuza. Perez will make the long trip across the globe to face the South African in his hometown of Johannesburg on Friday, May 29. "The only thing on my mind is victory," said Perez after his workout. "I know I'm going to his backyard and I have to be aggressive, I need to be able to win the crowd, the judges and beat Mabuza, all at the same time." Perez leaves Los Angeles Wednesday afternoon and arrives in Johannesburg, via Dubai, on Friday morning. (more…)

Shumenov targets Erdei, Garay!
Fast-tracking light heavyweight Beibut Shumenov (8-0, 6 KOs), fresh off of his impressive fourth-round stoppage of former two-time world champion Byron Mitchell last Saturday night in Kazakhstan, has set his sights on a major world title fight against WBO champion Zsolt Erdei or WBA title-holder Hugo Garay. A 2004 Olympian, Shumenov is rated #8 by the WBA, #9 by the WBO and #16 by the WBC and in his last three fights has defeated two former world champions, Mitchell and Montell Griffin, in addition to world title challenger Epifanio Mendoza. "It was great fighting at home and I want to thank Byron Mitchell for replacing (Alejandro) Berrio on such late notice," an ambitious Beibut said. "He still has the heart of a champion and it showed in the ring. I grateful for winning the IBA World title and now I'm ready for more challenges. I really want to fight Erdei or Garay and I'm hopeful that one of them steps-up to give me an opportunity to fight for their world title crown."
Mitchell not deterred by loss!
35-year-old former two-time world champion Byron "Gator" Mitchell (27-5-1, 20 KOs) says his comeback won't be derailed by one setback. Mitchell took a short-notice chance at a quick bump in the world ratings and paid for it over the weekend by suffering his fifth career loss to undefeated Kazakhstan native Beibut Shumenov at the Stadium Khadjimukan in Chimkent, Kazakhstan, via TKO 4. "We weren't really in the gym, but we got the call and decided to give it a shot," explained the disappointed Mitchell, who took the Shumenov matchup on 48 hours notice, flew 27 hours and landed on the day of the fight at 9 am. Mitchell was then forced to drop some weight pre-fight. "I take nothing away from this kid Shumenov, he fought well. But that wasn't the real Gator in there. I'd like to face him again under more even circumstances."
Upcoming Telemundo fights!

On June 26, it's Jesus "Destroyer" Jimenez vs. Santiago Ivan Acosta in a twelve-rounder for the WBC Latin flyweight title at the Humberto "Chiquita" Gonzalez Marbet Plus in Ciudad Neza, Mexico City. Then on July 17 it's the popular Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. returning against TBA with the WBO Latin and WBA FEDECENTRO jr. featherweight titles on the line at the Kissimmee Civic Center in Kissimmee, Florida.
Aoh faces Rojas!
By Joe Koizumi
Newly crowned WBC featherweight champ Takahiro Aoh (17-1-1, 8 KOs), a 25-year-old Japanese southpaw, will risk his belt against official challenger Elio Rojas (20-1, 13 KOs), Dominican Republic, in his first defense in Tokyo, Japan, on July 14. Aoh, formerly six-time national high school champ, impressively captured the throne via lopsided decision over veteran Mexican warrior Oscar Larios in a grudge fight this March. Rojas, a vastly talented prospect, 26, once dropped a highly debatable split decision to Mexican Gamaliel Diaz in an eliminator in July 2007, but scored a nearly shutout decision over top contender Hector Velazquez in Biloxi, Mississippi, last September. Aoh said before many people at the press conference, "I welcome this opportunity to defend my belt against the strong challenger. I'll fight as if I were a challenger." It will be a highly competitive encounter of the young and fresh speedsters to be staged by Akihiko Honda's Teiken Promotions.
On a split-site telecast by Nippon TV, a world title twinbill will take place in Kobe city. WBC bantam kingpin Hozumi Hasegawa (26-2, 10 KOs), a formidable Japanese lefty, will engage in his ninth defense against fast-rising prospect Nestor Rocha (21-1, 7 KOs), US, over twelve rounds. Also, unbeaten WBA minimum ruler Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez (23-0, 20 KOs), Nicaragua, still 21, will put his belt on the line against ex-WBA/WBC 105-pound champ Katsunari Takayama (23-3, 9 KOs), a fast-moving Japanese footworker, in the first title go there. This show will be presented by Shinsei Promotions. All look interesting enough.
Hide now WBC cruiser mandatory!
Arena Box-Promotion stars Herbie Hide, Steffen Kretschmann and Mahir Oral have been received very kindly Monday afternoon in Völklingen (Germany) for the first press conference for the big Arena show on June 26th at Hermann-Neuberger-Halle. Even the mayor of Völklingen Klaus Lorig welcomed the fighters and expressed his excitement for the big show to come. It will be the first professional boxing event in the Saarland region (close to the French border) in 30 years. "Dancing Destroyer" Herbie Hide was in great demand after the WBC has officially confirmed him as mandatory challenger for the winner of the WBC cruiserweight championship between Giacobbe Fragomeni and Krysztof Wlodarczyk (May 16th in Milan, Italy). "Originally I was meant to fight Matt Godfrey in a final elimination bout", states Hide. "But Godfrey pulled out of the fight twice. This boy has been ducking me for more than half a year now. He is afraid of me – and I can't blame him for that. I would have kicked his ass from Völklingen right back to the hole in the States where he is hiding." (more…)

Lauri-Tolppola heats up!
By Miika Forsström

Things heated up, when Lauri send Tolppola a public message from his training camp. The challenger did not like the words of Lauri. The Italian champion is confident of victory. "Tolppola is 0-3 against Italian boxers. We are too good for him. After May 30 he will be 0-4 against Italians. My countryman Michele Di Rocco beat Tolppola in 2007 in Finland and later that year I took the title from Di Ricco. I see no reason why I would not be successful in Finland" Lauri comments. (more…)

Jargal remains unbeaten
Sensational lightweight prospect Bayan "The Mongolian Mongoose" Jargal stayed unbeaten on Saturday night with a devastating first round knockout of Brian Carden in the co-main event of "Triple Threat: Tomorrow's Champions 11" at the Sportsplex in Winchester, Virginia.
From the opening bell, Jargal took the fight right to the St. Louis native with crunching body shots that slowed the early aggressiveness of Carden. Trapped against the ropes and absorbing a great deal of punishment from Jargal, Carden's corner called a halt to the barrage with seven seconds remaining in the opening stanza. (more…)

Veto outpoints Romankiewicz!
In a lightweight bout, Hungarian prospect Gabor Veto (5-0, 4 KOs) won a six round decision over German Hubert Romankiewicz on Saturday night at the Dragon's Club in Baden-Baden, Germany. The 20-year-old Veto, a former member of Hungarian amateur national team, controlled Romankiewicz with long straight punches. Romankiewicz, a former Thai Boxer, lacked the speed to danger the Hungarian talent.

Japtha wins in four!
By Ron Jackson
Marcel Japtha stopped Willie Mabasa in the fourth round of a scheduled ten to win the vacant Gauteng featherweight title at the Westbury Recreation Centre near Johannesburg on Saturday night. The bill was presented by Peoples Promotions and Westside Boxing Academy. Mabasa 14-7 came out fast at the first bell throwing left and right combinations to the head as he surprised Japhta 10-1; 7. Mabasa continued at the same pace through rounds two and three as Japhta began to score with counter punches to the body. In the fourth round the rugged Japtha with blood leaking from his nose came back at Mabasa and hurt him with a stiff right to the jaw. After another flurry of punches and with Mabasa not fighting back referee Alfred Buqwana stepped in to call the fight off at 2 minutes 31 seconds into the round.
In a junior middleweight encounter Nkululeko Mhlongo was just too strong for Johannes Pietersen and stopped him at 2 minutes 50 seconds into the first round of a scheduled six and in another scheduled six, light flyweight Fusani Monte beat Ada Sixanti on a fourth round technical knockout.

Kiattaweesuk in action!
By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing
Former Thailand Olympic representative Tantong Kiattaweesuk (10-0, 6 KOs) will be in action on Friday in Bangkok, Thailand when he clashes with Irfan Ogah (9-7, 4 KOs) of Indonesia over twelve rounds with the IBF Pan Pacific bantamweight title up for grabs.

Thailand boxing fans will see them Friday on national television on channel seven."
Goossen wants ruling vacated!
Promoter Dan Goossen is hoping to have last year's California State Athletic Commission's arbitration ruling involving former featherweight champion Robert Guerrero vacated. The CSAC ruled that Guerrero was free from his promotional contract with Goossen Tutor and Guerrero later signed with Golden Boy Promotions. Goossen wants the case re-arbitrated, citing a number of irregularities in the proceedings especially the fact that the arbitrator, former CSAC executive director Armando Garcia, never signed off on the ruling. Goossen also alleges inappropriate conduct by Deputy Attorney General Earl Plowman in advising Garcia as well as a conflict of interest involving commissioner Peter Lopez.
Fight Report: Sostre-Rainone!
Ringside Report by Alexander Dombroff
Photography by Marty Rosengarten/RingsidePhotos.com
New York State welterweight champion Daniel Sostre (9-3, 3 KOs) used a late rally to win a unanimous decision over Tom Rainone (11-3, 3 KOs) this past Friday in front of a sellout crowd at the historic Plattdeutsche Park Restaurant in Franklin Square, New York. The Sostre-Rainone contest was the main event of a seven-bout card presented by promoter Bob Duffy of Ring Promotions. Also in action, Irishman James Moore (17-2, 10 KOs) got as good as he gave from Joseph De Los Santos (4-4-3, 2 KOs ) but he did just enough to escape with a six round unanimous decision.

Petrucci dominates Cruz!
By Paolo Consiglio at ringside
Saturday evening in Rome, at the Palazzetto dello Sport, Italian welterweight Daniele Petrucci (24-0-1, 9 KOs) remained undefeated by scoring a dominant twelve-round unanimous decision over rugged Mexican Jose Luis Cruz (37-6-2, 30 KOs). In front of a near capacity crowd, Petrucci put together a near-perfect performance stamping his authority on the proceedings from the start, always beating Cruz to the punch, expecially with the left hook, and never letting him get into the fight. Petrucci is not considered a particularly hard hitter but his smart aggression along with his crisp and accurate punches constantly forced his bigger opponent to back up. Cruz had his moments in the second half of the bout landing some decent bodyshots but was too slow to catch the hometown favourite with fight-altering punches. Petrucci won widely on two scorecards (119-109 and 117-111) while the third judge someway had it much closer (116-113). (more…)
Morra upsets Contestabile!
By Paolo Consiglio
This Friday night in Avezzano, Italy, Massimo Morra (20-4-3, 6 KOs) pulled off a big upset, stopping previously undefeated countryman Gianpiero Contestabile (12-1, 7 KOs) in the eighth round to capture the domestic featherweight belt. (more…)
More on Huck-Rusal!
Marco "Captain" Huck (25-1, 20 KOs) made a successful third defence of his European cruiserweight title, stopping Vitaliy Rusal (23-1, 16 KOs) in the fifth round of their meeting in Bamberg. Much to the delight of the sell-out crowd of 4,000 fans, the 24-year-old used his trademark explosiveness and punching power to leave the challenger without a chance. Huck had little trouble to hold the Ukrainian at bay, rocking him with several hard combinations in almost every round. "I have never seen Marco landing so many big right hands," coach Ulli Wegner praised. "He stuck to the game plan and fought very well." (more…)
Dawson-Tarver II: Report & gallery

Some rematches don't live up to the reputation of the first fight.
Sometimes, that can be a good thing – like it was last night, in the high-action return bout between "Bad" Chad Dawson and Antonio "Magic Man" Tarver.
The only thing that resembled last year's less-than-spectacular showdown between Dawson and Tarver was the end result, that being a second, convincing, unanimous decision for Dawson.

Patient Comments: Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome - Treatments
How was your Ehlers-Danlos syndrome treated?
Comment from: James Aquila, 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: March 22
I have Type III Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which I inherited from my father. I have been using Solomon's seal and hyaluronic acid to support my joints, tendons, and ligaments. They are really helping with the inflammation, spasms, and pain. They do not provide total relief, but are worth the time and effort. I also take prescription medication because supplements can only do so much. I only use the supplements with the full knowledge of my physician to prevent any unwanted interactions.
Comment from: christielucy, 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: December 02
I had a karmic reaction when I was pretending to kick some one. My hamstring tightened immediately and I hobbled off quite defeated. The pain is in my hamstring but travels through around my hip into my groin. I am not sure if I should bother my doctor with this but some movements cause light popping even now.
Comment from: Cheryl, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: April 30
A couple of years ago I finally found out I have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Same as many of you, I have had knee surgeries, shots, ankle sprains, popping in and out of joints. Every morning I have to pop my knees and ankles 'back into place' before leaving the bed. Too much ibuprofen led me to prescription NSAIDS. I use gels, creams, and Biofreeze on knees on top of drugs. Now my doctor wants me to change to prescription cream. Helps some, but nothing seems to work for taking away the pain. People don't believe you are in pain when you look normal. All I see is that it will get worse. I am 53 years old now, I don't know how much longer I can go on.
Comment from: BC Lady, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: November 05
As a child-teenager my knees easily dislocated, so I couldn't do contact or field sports, skiing, or gymnastics. Later my shoulders would easily pop too. My skin is very soft and stretchy, cuts bleed easily, and scars do form; eventually a dermatologist diagnosed me with Ehlers Danlos syndrome when I was about 45. I've had major/minor orthopedic surgery on my knees every decade starting in my 20s; both knees have 6 inch scars. I started strength training at 36 and have kept it up all these years (I'm a very fit 60 plus lady now. The gym workouts made a big difference to my quality of life; having strong muscles surrounding the patella and shoulder joints meant I no longer dislocated anything. Stronger, dense bones helped too. However, my gums receded more than population norms and I now have early arthritis. Still continued (Mediterranean) diet and exercise and a disciplined life have left me stronger and healthier. My heart is good, I've remained slim and there are many other health benefits. Advice: had I been diagnosed sooner I would have started strength training earlier and maybe avoided so much surgery.
Comment from: TiaEstrella, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: March 11
I am 62, diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos hypermobility about 15 years ago. I believe I inherited the syndrome through my mother"s family, which has a long history of being double-jointed. My children and grandchildren appear to be symptom free. After too many years on Celebrex, Ultram, naproxen and other heavy-duty painkillers, a doctor of naturopathy helped me to wean off the drugs. I experienced more pain relief through non-processed natural foods and nutrition than I ever received from the drugs. Of course, nutrition does not cure EDS. In recent years I have received physical therapy and wear leg braces to minimize dislocations. My service dog enables mobility without the wheelchair. I continue very mild exercises and remain drug-free with careful nutritional discipline.

TORONTO BlackBerry maker Research in Motion is helping customers prepare to switch to its soon-to-be-launched BlackBerry 10 smartphones that it hopes will help it reclaim market share from rivals such as Apple Inc.
RIM is betting that the new range of touch-screen and keyboard devices, set for a January 30 launch, will revive its fortunes.
The company was "very enthused by the engagement and response of our customer base" to a program aimed at persuading them to adopt the BlackBerry 10 devices, Bryan Lee, senior enterprise accounts director, told Reuters on Wednesday.
Indeed, whether it will be successful in clawing back market share will depend on the response from RIM's top clients, like companies and government agencies, who have long valued the strong security features that BlackBerry devices offer.
Lee said more than 1,600 customers in North America had registered for its recently launched BlackBerry 10 Ready Program and more than a thousand were actively using the program, which offers customers access to services, information and tools to ease their transition to the BlackBerry 10 and the BlackBerry Enterprise Server 10.
RIM also said its BlackBerry Enterprise Server 10, which runs the new devices on corporate networks, was in beta testing with more than 130 major government agencies and corporations in North America.
Waterloo, Ontario-based RIM, a one-time pioneer in the now ultra-competitive smartphone industry, has bled market share to Apple's (AAPL.O) iPhone and devices powered by Google's (GOOG.O) market-leading Android operating system, even among enterprise clients who once used BlackBerry devices exclusively.
Early adoption of the long-awaited BlackBerry 10 devices by government and corporate clients will help breathe new life into the struggling company, whose shares are down 90 percent from an all-time high of more than $148 in 2008.
Still, shares of RIM, which fell as low as $6.22 in September, have more than doubled in value over the last four months as the BlackBerry 10 launch approaches.
Lee said clients that were beta testing the new BlackBerry Enterprise Server 10 included more than 60 Fortune 500 companies and top North American government agencies.
RIM promises that its new line of devices will be faster and smoother than existing BlackBerry phones and will boast a large catalog of apps, crucial to the success of any new line of smartphones.
Shares of RIM were up 3.8 percent at $15.03 in afternoon trading on the Nasdaq on Wednesday, after Visa (V.N) approved the smartphone company's method of handling secure mobile payments; the technology will potentially allow users to tap their smartphones on credit card readers and pay for purchases.
RIM's Toronto-listed shares were up 3.9 percent at C$14.83. (Editing by Janet Guttsman and Bernadette Baum)

The Shorewood School Board on Thursday selected University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Professor Paru Shah to fill the vacant School Board seat until the April election.
Shah, who moved to Shorewood in July 2011, is a political-science professor at UWM with research focused on the impact of racial/ethnic inequalities on politics in urban settings. Most recently, her research has examined when and where racial and ethnic minorities gain elected office, and what policy effect their presence has, according to her application to the School Board.
Because the majority of her research focuses on local elected offices - both school boards and city governments - she said in her application that she is familiar with the structures and institutions.
In addition to her academic interests, Shah said she had a desire to serve the community.
Before attending school for her PhD, Shah worked for an AmeriCorps program. She also served on the board of directors at Rape Victims Advocates.

47 reviews | 4.6 out of 5
I bought this about 4 months ago cause I wanted a simple surround sound. I couldnt be happier with the sound for my smaller sized living room. HDMI input made for easy installation. I dont have a BRAVIA TV but I do have 3 HDMI ports on my TV so thats a plus so I can have the XBOX, Home theater system, and the Blue Ray pluged in all at the same time unlike the other review before mine. So in closing the sound is great and will shake the house during explosions or big sound effects. The auto set up mic works great so this thing couldnt be more easy to set up. My only complaint is that the controll has alot of buttons that I dont use and since I dont have the Bravia TV I cant manage the TV and theater system through the TV, but thats no big deal. I throw in a movie and just use the remote to press play and tune the volume to very loud! Sounds great on the XBOX aswell to all the gamers that want to know when the enemy is sneaking up behind them on Call of Duty :)
We returned this item after the first evening. We beileved that we were purchasing a "wireless speaker system" home theater system from sony and that is not what this is at all. The speakers still have to be hard wired, they are not S-air technology.. the only thing that you are paying an additional $150 for is for one small unit that can be placed in another room to hear the radio or movie that is currently on the theater system... What a waste.. I believe that Sony lead us to believe this was a wireless speaker system which is what we were looking for. The box states that it is S=air wireless speaker technology.... what did they really think we would assume from that? I have two Sony Bravia TV's that I love.. this was a BIG dissapointment! Shame on you SONY.. be more clear so that we are not wasting our money even the directions in the box stated that it is a wireless speaker system.. We will be purchasing a different system.
we got this in December, and have not had any problems with it. we only wished we got it sooner. The volume on the sony flat screen just wasn't doing it for sound so we go this surround system. Its very easy to use once its set up. the only negative thing I can say is that it seems as if the S-air speaker doesn't have a long distance range. but all and all its very good, almost too good, cuz it has the ability to shake the photos off the walls !
When we shopped for a replacement Home Theater System, an employee from Sony was working at the store on weekends. Thought he would steer us in the right direction since we weren't very knowledgable concerning the various systems. He suggested that we purchase the S-AIR system since it was wireless & easy to hook up. What he didn't mention (or know) was that to be able to use it as a wireless system, another kit had to be purchased to the tune of $150.00. Needless to say , we don't intend to purchase the kit. Very disappointing. The system does have a great sound while listening to CD's but have to make sure one doesn't trip over the wires!
If you just bought a Sony Blu Ray disc player to go along with your Sony Bravia HDTV, do not buy this.
You can't input the Blu Ray player into the Home Theatre system. It has no HDMI inputs. You would need to input the Blu Ray into the TV. Many Sony Bravia TVs only have two HDMI inputs in the rear. The newer ones have two rear HDMI inputs and one on the side for PS3. I don't want my HDMI plugged in the side showing all the time. One HDMI input is used by cable box, the other for this system. After calling Sony, they suggested I purchase a 300 dollar "system" with four HDMI inputs in rear. BUT those systems include no speakers and no S-Air system. Sony sees the need for HDMI inputs on a Home Theatre system but fail to include them on this system. So, I have a 6 disc changer built in, NOT Blue Ray. I didn't care since I had a Blu Ray player but I didn't know I would not be able to hook it into this system. Their advice, use component cables which defeat the HDMI quality, thus no real Blu Ray disc player. I wasted my money and need a Bravia TV with at LEAST 3 rear inputs for true HDTV with no side wires showing.
This system was easy to connect to the t.v. and sounds great with a DVD. The problems arised from trying to connect it to our satellite system. The instructions ARE NOT helpful; I had to figure it out on my own. The next problem came with the WIRELESS part of this product. We bought this for a number of reasons, one of them being the fact that it is wireless. The problem? It says wireless on the box, BUT you have to BUY the wirelss S-AIR product and WalMart does not carry it. Neither does anyone else in our town. We have to order it online or go 70 miles away to the nearsest big town! Other than that, the system is nice. It tends to be a little too much in the Bass department, but my four boys and hubby LOVE it. I like the "night" setting, too, as people can watch the t.v. with good sound while other can sleep.
This was just what I was looking for. I really had no use for the actual dvd player, that is what my 360 and ps3 is for. For the one reviewer that didn't like it because it is not blu-ray, sorry, you should have read the description better. This same model does come in blu-ray but it is about $100 more. This product is as loud or louder than I was looking for; but who doesn't want 1000W of sound blasting at them? Music, movies, video games, everything sounds great; HDMI makes it even better. If the connections on the system aren't enough for some people, all you need is a pair of audio cables connected to your t.v.; so the audio of everything else (including the t.v.) can be used from the system. The only problem (nothing major) I had was I had to take a few things off my wall because they vibrated so much.
Bad everything NO real connections for other componets. Sub is not powered. over all sound NOT good,..
Excellent System. Great sound not a wireless system but doesn't matter the sound makes up for it. The 5 disc changer is great and loads pretty quick and can change from one disc to the next with the remote, so store the favs and watch them when you want to. The only thing I wish they could install for the disc player would be some type of disc label reader that would display because with the 5 discs I forget which is in which. I love the night modes and stuff where when they whisper it enhances that where you can actually hear it without having to replay or have the captions displayed. Gets very loud but no complaints from the hubby. He loves it! Would highly recommend this one to buy!
I got this product at the end of April, 2010 on line through walmart.com. I love it, great sound and picture quality. Very easy set up, even for the technically challenged. I wish the speaker connectors to the unit were other than male to female connectors to allow for diferent wire gauge. I had to solder the connectors to my 18 gauge prewired system. I love the S AIR feature allows me to listen to my music in a different location of my home while my family is watching movies in another. No problems with the wireless range anywhere in my 2500 sq. ft. home.
This item is really a great buy. Not only did we save around seventy dollars by purchasing online, but it was delivered very quickly. The product is more of a value than I imagined. It has great sound, fairly user friendly and the S-air device is really neat. It works great as a radio for another room. The sound of the unit is simply great. The hook up and calibration was a breeze. Very Good Purchase. Normally, I have a little buyers remorse after purchasing electronics....not this time!
Good sound, although it does not give much control over equalization. Setup and connection are no more difficult than other systems I have installed, but be prepared to spend a while setting it up. FM picks up some stations but I can't get anything over AM radio. (I live 25 miles from a metropolitan area)
Delivery was slow even for normal shipping and I paid extra for expedited shipping.
The item is so good that we bought a second one for our other house. By having it shipped to the store (we bought it on line) we saved about $100.00. I would highly recommend this product. You should always buy the one with the wireless speaker, because it is also great. I can take it out in garage when I'am working and play from the main unit.
i bought this product just a few days ago and like it the only thing i dont like is that it all works but the center speaker and i cant figure out how to make it work to save my life but overall i give it a 3+star only bcuz i cant get that center speaker to work somebody pleeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz help me figure this one out
This product is not for anyone but the most sophisticated thecnical geek to set up. My degreed son, who is employed as a geek couldn't get it to work. It is impossible mto get it to sync with dish. once you finally get it to work it is really nice. They have a long way to go to make it at all user friendly.
I bought this about 4 months ago cause I wanted a simple, and very functional surround sound system; I couldnt be happier. HDMI input made it easy to instal. I have 3 HDMI ports on my TV so that is a plus b/c I can connect my Wii, Home theater system, and the Blue-ray, all plugged in at the same time.
The system sounds great! It was worth every penny.....Love it! It took ittle time to set up and what I love most is being able to listen to music in any room using the S-Air wireless speaker.
My new abode got a lift with the addition of this marvelous system. The speakers shake the house when I play my favorite rock & roll music. Great partying!
For a simple surround sound, I couldn't be happier with this system for my over-sized living room. And the HDMI jack made it an easy installation.
What can I say about a Sony product, always very good and reliable. This system is another example of great quality.
