The good: Superslender soundbar home-theater system eliminates the need for an AV receiver; comes with a potent subwoofer; three HDMI inputs; supereasy setup.
The bad: Subwoofer-based connection jacks may require creative placement or cable runs; only supports four AV sources (plus Sony's proprietary DM Port accessories).
The bottom line: Sony's HT-CT100 soundbar/subwoofer audio system is a phenomenal value that sounds great with movies and music.

Does not give enough sound
by orwell1962 on July 8, 2010
Pros: Easy set up.
Cons: Sound negligble. Had it turned up ALL the way, only a bit more than the regular tvs speakers. Wanted to improve the sound of the tv.

Beware of this product
by j_brady on May 26, 2010
Pros: There is nothing good about it Sony Should be ashamed it ever marketed the HT-CT 100
Cons: Bravia Sync is non-functional. Converts Hi-Def signals to standard Def. Remote will only control the Audio Unit and no other components.
Summary: I bought this because of the reviews on this and other sites. After six hours of trying to get the thing to work and 90 minutes in a sony support ...

Summary: I bought this because of the reviews on this and other sites. After six hours of trying to get the thing to work and 90 minutes in a sony support chat room from hell, I decided to post my first ever product review. The product is simply a piece of crap. No matter what input i select the signal is degraded to standard definition. Sony, of course, insists that the cabling is bad. Tried four different HDMI cables and no change.

Pros: Has great HDMI capabilities.
Cons: Max sound level, depending on the source, is horrible.
Summary: When I had this hooked up to my 360, it was ok. Not great, but livable. However, when I had the audio coming straight from my tv, the sound level ...

Summary: When I had this hooked up to my 360, it was ok. Not great, but livable. However, when I had the audio coming straight from my tv, the sound level was completely unreasonable.

Piece of Garbage. Please don't waste your money.
by johnsava on April 6, 2010
Pros: It's great for listening to your iPod via optional bluetooth adapter.
Cons: Sony sync is unpredictable on my unit it favors the bluray player. Often when I change channels on my cable box the sync powers up the blutay. Sometimes it won't let me switch to the TV speakers. The surround effect is non-existent.
Summary: I won't be bothered to return it to Sony, instead I disconnected it and I'm planning to sell it "as is" at a garage sale. It's a ...

Summary: I won't be bothered to return it to Sony, instead I disconnected it and I'm planning to sell it "as is" at a garage sale. It's a piece of junk, buyer be ware. I must say my Sony Bravia TV is fantastic and so is my Sony bulray player. I'm researching other brand surround systems, and I'm close to making a decision, but it won't be a Sony.
