Does NOT have DLNA support (update: now has DNLA as of Feb-2011)
By M. Potter
Just got this all-in-one Bluray theater today. In general it's a nice bargain (especially at the GoldBox deal from Thanksgiving). I use it in our Living Room to replace the TV speakers, so the sound is definitely an improvement. I probably wouldn't use this in a true "home theater" since the subwoofer isn't powered. But for general Bluray listening in the Living Room and for Netflix streaming, it sounds just fine. It does what it claims and has a lot of good streaming options (Netflix, Pandora, etc). Picture quality is excellent. Bluray player is similar to Sony's BDP-S370 player.However, unlike all of the reviews (on the Internet) of this unit that I read before purchasing, this unit does NOT have DLNA support for streaming music from your local network servers. In fact on page 35 of the included manual in the section "Playing files stores on a DLNA server" it specifically says: "Except for BDV-E370 U.S. models".This is extremely annoying. It's obvious to me that this device *used* to have this feature, which is why all of the older reviews mention it. My guess is that it was removed in a software update. Yes, I did the network update and now it says that no other update is available. I didn't check to see if DLNA was available before the update. The related setup page for DLNA called "Connection Server Settings" in the "Network Settings" screen is also missing.Unless you get a really good price deal on this, I'd recommend the BDV-E570 instead which has the DLNA support and also includes the WiFi adapter. I had a wired Ethernet, so the adapter wasn't a big deal. But if I had known that this unit really didn't support DLNA, I probably would not have bought it. Now that it's already installed and working, I'll probably keep it.Maybe we can convince Sony to put DLNA support back into this device. It's obviously just a software issue and I'm annoyed at Sony for not including this and am annoyed at the reviews that all say it has it when it doesn't. But that's why I'm giving only 4 stars.Update #1: Since there is no HDMI input, to hook up your cable box you need to connect the digital audio output of the cable box to the input on the E370. You use your TV to switch the video and use the E370 to switch the audio. The only problem with this is that the Sony E370 does not support discrete remote codes for the different audio inputs. It only has a "NextInput" command. So you'll need a smart remote (like a Harmony) that can remember what input is currently selected so that it knows how many "NextInputs" to send to the E370 to get it to the correct channel.Update #2: (12/17/2010) Just installed the latest v735 firmware and still no DLNA support :(Update #3: (2/11/2011) With the latest firmware update M04.R.752 I can confirm that DLNA support has now been added to this device. It automatically sees my Windows 7 computer on the local network and can play music and see photos. As others have reported, there still isn't any way to "shuffle" a play list, but that's pretty minor. I would now rate this item as 5 STARS. Thanks to Sony for finally updating this device to what it was advertised.

$239 Very Well Spent
By JamieinMN
I ordered this on the Thanksgiving Goldbox deal. I received it one week later.The system was packaged very nicely and was easy to unbox and setup the system. I hooked up my DVR cable box into the Sat/Cable (Digital Coaxial input) jack. I hooked up my Playstation 3 into the TV (Digital Optical input) jack. (not into my television, but into the input named "TV" on the unit) When I try each source, it tells me on the unit's front LCD screen that I'm getting Dolby Digital.Using the unit's blu-ray, I watched the movie "Stealth". I must say it was like a whole new experience. I could hear those fighter jets buzzing in the front speakers and then transfer to the rear speakers. It was definately pretty cool to watch (and now finally hear) that movie. After watching the movie, I played some Call of Duty: World at War on my PS3. It was amazing to hear the shooting of my gun and hearing things expload all around me. It really put me into the war zone.I'm very impressed with the unit. I think it's a great value for what I paid. It doesn't have HDMI inputs, however, as stated above, I was able to hook up my existing equipment. I like how you can watch Netflix on the unit, along with Pandora Radio and a few other streaming services.Overall, I'm very happy I bought the unit. It produces very nice sound, and for the price it is an excellent product. I'm not an expert on sound systems as this is my first unit. I'm not saying it's the best unit available, but for the price, it's a darn good unit! I love it and hope to enjoy it for years to come.If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I would be happy to help.**Update** DLNA is now available. Update your system to the latest firmware. (M04.R.752)Follow the instructions below to set up....1. Enable your server to grant access to the E-370.2. On the menu (of the E-370), go to the far left under "Setup".3. Choose "Network Settings"4. Choose "Connection Server Settings"5. Press the "Options" button on the remote.6. Choose "Update Service List"Your DLNA enabled server will now appear in the menu. Make sure it says "Shown" on the right side, and press the "Return" button on the remote. You are now setup for streaming across your network!

Decent / NO DLNA / ill informed Customer Service
By Jay
I got this product mainly because of DLNA and internet streaming feature. I already knew it does NOT come with Wireless Adapter so I would not complaint on that front. Overall it gives a decent output but not great in configuring, Internet streaming and DLNA (totally missing).To start with, there were quite a few "not so obvious" configurations that I had to struggle to make it work seamlessly between Sony TV & this home theater system. When i called SONY Customer Service (I spoke to five different agents across five days) and no one had a clue about why the System is muting itslef (no audio) when I switch between my TV inputs (Dish, Comcast Cable & TV- Free to Air)...After a lot of research I myself figured out that "Control for HDMI" settings on TV was the reason why System was acting up. "Control for HDMI" is actually supposed to make things a lot easier but in this case, they were getting so messed up. What the heck ! I got a sony system so that it could sync up well with my Sony TV and that "BrAVIA SYNC" itself was creating problem ??).. I was surprised that 4 out of 5 were clueless and kept telling me this is how it is designed and if I want I can switch off the "Control for HDMI". But that would mean using two different remotes for watching TV. one for TV and other for controlling volume on the system...All in all, I never got a satisfactory response except the last agent I spoke to...trick was to use a Digital Optical cable..Secondly, DLNA - Again spoke to 3 agents across 3 days and all the agents said that BDVE370 does support DLNA. All through my conversations with them (lasted for 45 mins each) they kept on putting me on hold. They were apparently not trained or educated about DLNA feature and after every 1 minute, they used to put me on hold and check something (either in their repository)...they walked me through the setting on my Laptop (has to have a Windows 7). After doing the settings on laptop, they asked me change some settings on the HT System which were missing on the system..This is when they realized this model does not support DLNA..One of the agents went on to say it was a oversight on his part. BDVe370 is not DLNA compliant..When I asked my call be transfered to his superior, I was put on hold only to realize at the end of 10 mins that he had never transfered it to the supervisor by simply hung up on me...All in all, this was one of the worst customer service I have experienced that had no knowledge of the products they were supporting..About internet streaming, i experienced that the HD videos were not really coming out to be HD on the tv..they were more like Std def...not sure if thats what everyone is experiencing ...I am a loyal SONY fan and keep going back to Sony for my needs (Camcorder, Camera, TV, Laptop and now Home Theater)...but this experience has changed my mindset...All in all, a decent product if u dont find a need to contact customer service and if u dont need DLNA.12/15 - Spoke to Level-2 customer support (3 different folks) of Sony (San Diego office) who said DLNA should be supported by this product. This was not initially the plan when this product was released and hence the comments in the user manual that it does not support. But subsequently DLNA support was provided by a firmware upgrade (theoritically). But so far they have not been able to figure out why it is not working on my HT even after the latest firmware upgrades. they said, they are escalating the case to Engineering group and they will get back to me. I have 7 days before I return the product (as per store returns policy). Cannot risk waiting more than that coz so far none of the customer support look promising to me about DLNA.12/22 - followed up on alternate days from 12/15 till today about status of my ticket with Sony. Everytime I called, seems like the ticket had not been picked up yet for working. I guess I cannot wait infinitely so I returned the product today. But will still post once so called "Engineering group" gets back to me (if they do).
