Superb home cinema kit. I bought mine about 4 years ago, at the time the retail price was about £800. Sony home cinema kits have since dropped considerably in price - but they are no longer built to the same standard. This system is superbly built with plenty of aluminium and chrome trim, unlike the modern paint and plastic of todays modern systems. It is a dvd player, cd player, super audio cd (SACD) player, and fm radio - on the back of the head unit you will find a multitude of audio and video inputs - so you can use the onboard amplifier to drive sound from your tv, sky, ps2, video, etc etc. Unlike the modern systems of today that tend to have just one audio input if you are lucky. The only downside i have come across, compared to some of todays models, is that it wil not play divx - but that is not really an issue to me, as i have connected my pc directly to my TV. The only fault i have heard about on some of these machines is that the laser in the dvd can stop working - so double check this is working fully before buying. However, even if this is the case - you can still use it as an amplifier and surround sound - you would just need to connect a separate dvd player. Make sure you buy the complete system, including all five speakers, the subwoofer and the remote control. Spares are still available direct from sony - but as with most sony spares, they will have a hefty price ticket. All in all this is a great quality system, and well worth buying. I would definately not swap mine for one of the newer cheaper models.Read full review
Forget the review but my opinion of ebay as a company is at rock bottom due to lack of response to two emails about misuse and hijack of my account. Maybe you could show enough interest and I realise this is off-topic but I am at my wits end !!!! P.S. The Sony DAV-S880 System was very good!
My sony DAV S880 which I bought for £800 around 5 years ago didn't last not even a year. cos of the manufacturer's guarantee, i got it repaired the first time. Next time they charged me £327. Now the system is on its way to bin, since i haven't got that much money to repair it. so much for going after a BRANDED product!!!!!!!!!!!
After my old DAV-300 refused to play dvds anymore,i turned to ebay to find a sytstem to match up with my surround sound.Not knowing took a punt with a DAV-S880(player only)luckily leads were the same. The DAV 300 is hard act to follow,but the 880 is magnificent and is better in every way.If you thinking of system i would recommend this one.
excellent system, though a bit dated.... Sound is very crisp n clear, supports majority of file types, easy to set up and configure with other Sony devices.... Has several input n output outlet points that lets you connect several devices... I have all my devices connected...e sky box-tv-iphone-games c, so don't have to swap connections... Happy with the product
