HDX285 - - NOT wireless! or even wireless capable!

Yes, the HDX285 central unit does not even come with a wireless transmitter. So, bottom line is, you..." Read Full Review »

"I've own previous Sony HTIB systems and decided to upgrade to this system to increase quality and sound. You'd think the newer the model the better the upgrades, but I didn't see any improvements to the last model. See the reviews for the hdx275, both systems are basically identical. The only thing …"  Read Full Review »
