After extensive research I recently purchased a Sony BDV-E770W Home Theater System, and I am thrilled with it. I strongly recommend this system if you are considering the purchase of a "Home Theater In a Box".
"Home Theater In a Box" is a collection of components designed to work together that are often purchased separately at much greater expense. It includes surround sound, a Blu-ray, DVD and CD player (compatible with music and photo files) and an FM radio receiver. Newer systems include Internet streaming media such as Pandora Radio, YouTube and Netflix Movies. The latest improvements for these systems are wireless Internet connection so you can access Internet features wirelessly via your home network, wireless rear speakers so you don't have to snake wires from the unit (located with your TV in the front of the room) to their location at the rear of the room, and, most recently, 3D video capability.
The Sony BDV-E770W has all of this! The sound quality is phenomenal! And the DVD player up converts standard DVDs to 1080p HD. You can easily spend thousands of dollars for such a system. During my prepurchase research I received an estimate of $3500 from a professional installer for a similar system. The BDV-E770W lists for $600 on the Sony site. I purchased mine on an Internet site for under $450, delivered with no tax!
CNet gave the Sony BDV-E770W an "Excellent" rating, saying it is "one of the best Blu-ray home theater systems we've tested." Their review opens with the following (Check out the full CNet Review):
The Sony BDV-E770W is the company's flagship Blu-ray home theater for 2010 and it's outfitted with just about every feature you could think of. It can stream media for a ton of online sources (including Netflix, Amazon VOD, Pandora, and Slacker) and it comes with a USB Wi-Fi dongle so you don't need Ethernet in the living room. A wireless rear-speaker package is also included, which is a welcome plus now that many manufacturers don't include this even on high-end systems. You can connect an iPod directly to the BDV-E770W's USB port, and browse your music using the onscreen display. The built-in Blu-ray player is even 3D-compatible.

Important Note: Be sure the system you purchase contains a "W" in the model number. Sony sells a BDV-E770 which does not include wireless capabilities.

Which instant queue are you referring to? The Netflix instant queue is set up on your computer from the Netflix site, and you can only view videos you select there. I hope that helps.

Unquestionably, Sony BDV-E770W is one of the most salable home theater system. We consider this one as an excellent setup in my place.
This is very informative. I'm planning to buy one next year although I know it's outdated. Thanks for this post
Wow. Very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
