Read all the reviews on this product. Did'nt want to fork out the money in case it was'nt what it was cracked up to be. It was. Controls media at 100%. Can do, what I want to do with other components pieced together, but to get a clean simple (1
Pros: 200-disk changer, batch ripping of multiple CDs, HDMI output, convenient music and disk management. Cons: Poor keyboard range, noisy video from TV tuner, noisy component video outputs and resolution limits. The Bottom Line: If you need something rip
I did a lot of research before I purchased this unit. I wanted a Media PC that would fit in my stereo rack that would actually look like my other components. My final two choices were this sony and the HP. I chose the Sony because it has HDMI (I like havi
I researched the XL2 for about a year before I decided to purchase it. I needed a new computer as well as a new TV, and I decided that getting a HTPC would save me loads of money. What drew me to my purchase of this particular PC were the HDMI and the aes

Pros: Carousel Cons: everything else
Was excited by the specs. Install was a mess - video driver issues right off the bat. NVIDIA 6600 GeForce card - their website says no HDMI support, nonetheless it's installed in this box. Sony Tech Support was no help, in fact they gave all their Di
My unit arrived on December 22, just in time for Christmas. Its arrival was the best part of the experience, because it was all down hill after that. Problems right out of the box. The video card would not output video through any of the outputs, and the
This system transformed my media consumption into a nightmare. Turning on TV takes about 10 minutes every time because the PC will simply not start from hibernation, even after multiple patches, workarounds and customer support intervention. Once it is on
I bought this new off Ebay to use as a computer with my 24" Sony monitor only to find it only works off a TV. I'm sadly disappointed to find out I can not use it this way. Now I have to resell it on Ebay and take the loss.I thought this should b
