502456822
Blu-ray inside and out
Take advantage of the advanced audio capabilities of Blu-ray Disc movies with this dynamic surround sound system. The HTS-S360 features a sleek, slim receiver with all you need to enjoy the dramatic sound quality you crave. A perfect complement to your Blu-ray player and advanced gaming platforms, this you'll appreciate this system's simplicity in set-up and connectivity. Three HDMI™ inputs are included for connecting HD sources with a single cable and directly accessing them through the remote control. One-button control is also available with BRAVIA Sync™ technology, maintaining the proper settings for each component and allowing you to focus on the entertainment.
BRAVIA Theatre Sync&trade means simplicity
This is true 'one-button' control. Taking the lead in the next step beyond simple audio and video transmission functions, Sony has developed BRAVIA Theatre Sync&trade, featured on your new HTSS360 home theater system. In combination with select Sony BRAVIA video and audio products, single-command, multiple control functions can be transmitted via HDMI. By pressing a single button on the remote, such as PLAY, all audio and video components will turn on and the BRAVIA television will turn on as well before switching to the appropriate video input. Get ready to experience your video and audio media like never before.
The HTSS360 isn't picky, it just wants the best. . . for you
Equipped with HDMI "Active Intelligence", you might start to think that the receiver in your HTSS360 is psychic, but it isn't. . . or is it? HDMI "Active Intelligence" allow your receiver to detect and receive the best video and audio signals possible from all connected devices. This ensures that connection and performance are as simple as hooking up a wire. And when we say 'a wire' we're serious — "Active Intelligence" transmits both video and audio through a single HDMI cable.
Ideal sound comes from ideal speaker placement
The behavior of the sound coming from your speakers can be greatly influenced by the internal shape of your living room. With this phenomenon in mind, Sony has equipped your new HTSS360 with Digital Cinema™ Auto Calibration. By simply placing the included auto calibration microphone in the place from which you most often listen to audio and pushing a single button, speaker position, distance and delays are automatically calibrated. Sony's Digital Signal Processing uses feedback between the microphone and receiver to optimize sound settings. Once this simple procedure is completed, you'll be experiencing sound like never before.
Accessorize with the Digital Media Port
Your new HTSS360's Digital Media Port (DMP) gives you the ability to play back music from a variety of select sources with the aid of a few accessories. Connect DMP accessories to play back music from Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones, networked computers or select iPod® or Network Walkman™ digital music players (optional accessories sold separately). The DMP accessories include a PC Client Ready device (TDM-NC1), Bluetooth receiver (TDM-BT1) and docking stations compatible with select Network Walkman players (TDM-NW1) and iPod products (TDM-iP1).
Stay at home with your portable — the portable audio enhancer
The HTSS360 is ideal for today's portables. A powerful Digital Signal Processor expands the quality of sound from any connected device. Simplified front-side audio and video connections make it easy to play portables through the receiver. In short, your new HTSS360 and ultimate-connectivity are, well, synonymous.
Four, yes, count 'em, four HDMI connections!
Bringing you the absolute best in connectivity, your new Sony HTSS360 features 3 HDMI inputs and 1 output. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p. Your incoming media content comes in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, and with that in mind, HDMI systems automatically configure to display that content in the most effective format. Since HDMI carries all channels on video and audio, there is only one cable to plug into any HDMI-enabled source and display device. No more complicated cable set-up when installing your home theater system, and no more ugly cable mess behind your components. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on this single cable. Also, HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI.

I bought this system, instead of a soundbar, for our bedroom which is what I was going to do,Im glad I didnt.The sound clearity the BOOMMIN BASS rivals my system in my man cave.
It was easy to hook up w the Sony Bluray,Dish Network and Flat screen tv.
Our bedrm is 32x30 and this system makes the room quake.
I got positive feedback from the wife and when I told her how much I paid she was happy too.

This system is the best for the price!
Easy to set up. Sounds Great! You would have to spend twice as much to notice any difference.
The speaker wires did scare me...very thin, when I am used to the monster cable style. To my surprise the sound is 5 Stars! I would recommend this to family and friends!
All around great value!

I cant say enough about the SS360. You wont find a better system for the price. Its superb sound quality and HDMI output make watching Blu-Ray DVDs feel like youre in the theater. And speaking of HDMI, with three inputs it allowed me to connect all my components to one receiver and only have one cable running to my TV. No more clutter! That scored some major points with my wife I recommend this system for anyone who wants a high quality home theater system on a budget.

This is my first surround sound system and Im not an audiophile. The sound from the front and center speakers is much better than from the TV speakers. Set up was really pretty much plug-n-play, though you do need to drill down through a lot of menus to adjust some of the speakers and functions. My only disappointment is the weak sound produced by the left and right surround speakers. It seems that I can hardly hear any sound from them unless I really turn up the volume. I have even replaced the little speakers which came with the unit with bigger Advent speakers that I already have, with no difference in output. If there is any truth to the belief that thick wires will provide more power, this cant be easily accommodated. The wires have a special plug on the end which goes into the unit, so unless you cut those wires just inches from the unit and then splice to Monster cable, your only choice is the thin wires provided.
However, overall, for the money, Im happy with the performance.
