your view on SONY IV-300 5.1 HT system

[Jesu]

Well that’s how it is supposed to sound. All sony HTIB subs are boomy and muddy. If you want true and deep bass you need to switch to a HT set up with an active subwoofer. The Sony sub has its limits and you can’t do much. Having said that to get the best from the sub you can isolate it from the floor by keeping it over a yoga mat or a gym tile. Also you can try different placements.

Thank you bro

Now I am using nvidia shield and it supports all formats.

Read the Operating Manual which has the list of supported video formats and audio codecs......accordingly get those kind of movie files with the supported extensions.

there is avr included in the bundle along with 5.1 speaker set

Not really trying to dampen your excitement levels as regards to your HTIB, but technically Sony has not launched it's AVR as of yet.

I also used to have Sony HTIB few years back and used to consider it as the real home theatre till I heard sound through Yamaha/Denon. HFV members opened my eyes. I can understand that budget is always the main constraint but if even if you start with used gear which will really fit in your budget, I bet you'll be much happy. The kind of robust connectivity you'll have with AVR from Yamaha, Denon, Onkyo & Pioneer, you'll not have that with Sony HTIB.

Just take a demo of one of these system and you'll realize the difference.
