Despite the comments from many other users a propos the incapability to use the rear speakers, I figured I'd give this manufactured goods a chance. Sorry to say, I ran into the same conundrum and after 3 hours trying to pair the rear speakers unbendable to call Sony. They are carriage me the indicate booster cable. I will update this assess when I get it. It amazes me that this manufactured goods can get 4 stars from reviewers who can't use their wireless rear speakers. Isn't that the whole wits to get this manufactured goods?The manufactured goods does look great, the sound out of the 3+1 effective speakers is great, and all that does work works impeccably and setup was easy. Even if, I'm won over that if you use an HDMI cable to connect the manufactured goods to your TV, you will not be able to use your rear speakers. This is a Sony design flaw, pure and austere.I'm hopeful that the indicate booster (additional room cable) Sony is carriage (another 7-10 day wait) will resolve the issue. If not, they will be getting back this manufactured goods along with the Sony TV I got at the same time. If the manufactured goods issue is resolved, I'll update this assess and probably offer up the 4 star assess I hoped to give (5 stars is now out of the inquiry given the time and frustration). Sony told me they are getting lots of these calls.UPDATE 1: A high-feature (high-priced) HDMI cable helps. With a new HDMI cable, the unit corresponding at once and sound was great. Bonus update to stay on upon receipt of indicate booster from Sony.UPDATE 2: Sony sent me the indicate booster and I purchased an high-priced HDMI cable. Months later, I still irregularly see that I have to re-pair the speakers to the unit. For some wits, they just periodically lose the tie. Contracted, it's easy enough to re-pair once you have the accessories, but it's grating. I commonly love Sony harvest, but this one is just not valuable.

W. ConnollyI purchased the Sony BDVIS1000 5.1Ch Blu-ray Disc/DVD Home Theater System and totally loved, so much I bought my parents lone pro xmas...Supply works great, theres on the additional hand don't.The S-air will not connect no topic what I try..Supply I be inflicted with in a closed cabinet with the wireless speakes 25 ft away and it works great, theres in this vicinity 8 ft away?? I called Sony Tech support and they be inflicted with no clue how to aid...I even had support ask for me if it was a Sony product. I be inflicted with read that others are having this constant come forth...If you approve of lone and it works, The sound is great pro a HTIB..If not GOOD LUCK...Chris

Christopher Snakovsky "Chris"I had the same conundrum including the wireless rear speakers on my logic including the intention of others are unfolding; not mixture or effective at all. Including hours of troubleshooting and fruitless phone calls to Sony I establish the conundrum. The HDMI output jack on the foremost unit is aptly then to wireless transceiver. A poorly shielded HDMI cable will yield wireless interference; especially including the output resolution fit to 1080i/p. You can test this by unplugging all HDMI cables and concerning it to your TV including the composite video cable including the intention of came including the unit. I purchased lone of Sony's pricey triple-shielded DLCHD30G HDMI cables and house of safeguard't had any problems in view of the fact including the intention of. Sony is truly dense including the intention of this is the genuine yield of the conundrum and had sought after me to hurl the full logic in trade to them for renovate. The EZW-EC10 mixture line could be helping some keep for I think HDMI cable interference is the nose conundrum.

N. CrowI just bought the BDV-IS1000 and had the same pairing conundrum as all else. I had read the boards and comments a propos doable solutions. While I cannot speak for each and every BDV-IS1000 that is out there and I am sure that there is fastidious gear that is indeed defective, I would like to bet that my key will doubtless solve 99% of the paring harms. The conundrum lies in the fact that the education blue-collar is not very good at amplification the course of action for pairing.While some speakers will pair with the receiver right out of the box; just plug and play, now and again it is not the case. And the directions fail to omit one key constituent vital to the pairing course of action.After being powerless to pair the speakers, I was ready to restore my set as well. But then I tried a touch. I also purchased the AIR-SA10, the belt wireless S-Air lecturer logic. I tried considering if the receiver would pair with the S-Air lecturer logic and it did right out of the box. I was wondering why my receiver would pair with the lecturer logic and not the rear speakers. So I swapped out the "good" S-Air radio transmitter with what I planning was a "faulty" radio transmitter in my rear lecturer amplifier and still the speakers would not pair. So observably everything was effective accurately as evidenced in the fact that the receiver was able to pair with the other unit and it was not the radio transmitter.My encounter with pairing a Bluetooth hands free and a cell phone reminded me that both units have to be looking for one a additional. In the case of the BDV-IS1000, the same thing needs to be done as well. The directions tell you to go to logic settings on the receiver and hit the set pairing pin to have the receiver quest for the speakers. The receiver will quest for the speakers for 5 summary or so, and alas no speakers to be found / corresponding.Here is the key!Before to you hit the pair speakers function on the blu-ray receiver, on the back of the amplifier unit where it says S-AIR ID and there is a batter for calligraphy A,B, and C, there is a small little hole which is labeled "Paring". Take a pin or some other small sharp differ and push the pin. A light must start intermittent notifying you that it is incisive for the receiver. At which point, hit the incisive pin the receiver and the units must pair instantly. Though, it might take one or two attempts for it to work.Anyways, I have a great sounding logic now and am perfectly happy. I hope this key helps and you are also able to enjoy your lecturer logic.

GumbyAs far as the blu ray picture/video is concerned, it is fantastic. I have a Sony KDL-40XBR7 TV which is a perfect compliment.The audio is reasonably good if your rear speakers work so that you can enjoy the whole package. The sound volume is kind of low though.Like everybody else, my rear speakers paired only after the following with intermittent results:1. Turn the wireless router I had nearby off.2. Reset the player from Resetting->All settings menu.3. Set the S-Air RF Change to Off after Reboot.4. Perform the habitual pairing surgical procedure as in the manual which corresponding after numerous attempts.5. Relocating the wireless router.Even after all these, the tie would drop off intermittently very often. Even when corresponding, the sound on rear speakers was crackling, skipping or very low. At era the pairing indicator on the Main unit would keep flashing when watching TV or blu ray disc with no sound on rear speakers. Sony tech support (very helpful) promised me the signal booster (S-AIR� transmitter extender - EZW-EC10 - Conn Assembly) after the issue was escalated. BTW, the product is on back diplomacy and Sony parts and accessories stores said to check in the initially week of May.In the mean time, I read in numerous posts that a poorly protected hdmi cable near the wireless transmitter on the back of the player was the main issue (I was by Sony hdmi cable but not their high end one). I shelled out 129.99 on Monster Even more 1000 hdmi cable (my wife's gonna hit me if she hears this... :))And well, since then I can't help smiling all the time... They work ever since (nearly a week now). The sound is much better now too... I'll plug in the signal booster too once I get them and see the variation. Some guys were lucky with cheaper cables too... Good luck... I hope this helps.I would rate this higher but for the bad experiences I had with the rear speakers.Addendum: Well, after replacing the HDMI cable, my player recognized that I had rear speakers hooked up during speaker auto calibration. Earlier, it would not hold the pairing when I attempted to do so.Addendum 2: Expected the EZW-EC10 assembly from Sony Parts last week. Collectively it to the receiver and have "not" faced any dropped tie since then. Things look good as of now. Keeping my fingers crossed... Sony must definitely do something about it to save public from this headache (and heartache...).Addendum 3 (05/11/2009): Well, days gone by night while watching moving, the main unit over again lost tie with the rear speakers even even if I have been by the so called signal booster and the highest end Monster Even more 1000 HDMI cable. Frustrating... Rebooted fruitfully and corresponding it to "C". Will watch for a few days as to what happens. Will call support over again if it happens. I don't want and surely cannot afford a lemon.

R. Sarkar "Ron"As I set out to buy my family acting in a box I set out to Most excellent Buy to get demos of all of the newest and greatest toys. As I told the sales nature my equipment (blu-ray album player, wireless rear speakers, if at all possible Sony) this was the develop he brought me to. Not being too impressed including the mass of the speakers (if detail, I told him they were extremely cute), I promptly mentioned I sought after a in tears including potential.What can I say? Including the try out, I was blown dead. I thought it was approximately rank of ploy and Sony had pulled the skin ended my eyes to get me to decline a thousand big ones. I went to every tiny lecturer and enclosed it including my hand to try out as to how greatly signal was appearance out. Entrust me, here is potential in those golf sphere sized speakers. I was so impressed, bought it at approximately calculate ago.As I got it family it was be fond of Christmas, and I had it out of the box in a cut-rate amount of than 5 outline. All of the speakers are affect roundabout, so it's actually idiot water-resistant. In check over of the fact including the intention of I didn't mount no matter what business to the roadblock it took me a modest below 30 outline to set all up. The two rear speakers are wireless, but not actually. They form a junction including to a receiver box including the intention of you care for in the in trade of the opportunity so here is soothe wires. As I twisted all on, I did the quick complex and synced my 57" Bravia TV and house of safeguard't looked in trade!So at this calculate are my pros and cons of this logic:pros-* extremely straightforward to set up* tiny speakers don't interfere including my decor or overwhelm my tiny apartment construction.* arrangement updates.* Blu-Ray 2.0* S-AIR equipment (wireless rear speakers)* two HDMI Inputs* Aesthetically language, it's great.cons-* fee, you can get a PS3 and a traditional family acting for cheaper, unconnectedly.(this is why I gave it a 4 stars as a substitution for of 5)* the rear speakers aren't really wireless, so modest opportunity for adjustments including out wires in succession up your parapet.* in check over of the fact including the intention of it is HTIB you can't be inflicted including the usefulness you would including a habitual receiver.

CiciWe by now own a Sony 52" plasma and was ready to step up to blu-ray and 5.1 channels. Setup was not a conundrum and the sound was reasonable. The wireless rear preside over receiver quit working after a week. After resetting the logic several times, I find out the instructions were shared on how to re-join the S-Air wireless indicate. Best Buy wanted to send the Geek Squad over for $150 and Sony wanted me to ship the unit back complete at my cost. I returned the unit for my refund... disappointed with Sony. The wireless was a noteworthy thing in selecting this product.

Peter M. BackusAs other reviews have stated, the unit worked great for a few days when I was using composite cables. Once I together an HDMI cable and set the resolution to 1080p, the rear speakers (through the S-air device) stopped effective. If I lower the HDMI resolution to 1080i or lower, the S-air immediately reconnects. The issue seems to be with the high resolution 1080p signal (over HDMI cable) conflicting with the S-air. My rear speakers are no more than 20 feet away from the main unit.Unfortunately, I had to spend numerous hours (no kidding) on the Sony support web chat (complete waste of time) then phone with the first level Sony support folks who covered nothing but the basics (power on, connections aptly, etc.). It took three phone calls until I was finally directed to contact a "product specialists" (with restricted hours) who had me try a few more relative basic things before I could convince him that this was a known/documented problem (on Amazon and various web sites). He read one of those and agreed to send me a "connection assy EZW-EC10" which is essentially an extension chord for the S-air transmitter to move it away from the HDMI cable. Now it works fine.The signal out of the rear speakers is excellent except there is just a slight hissing signal when there is nothing being broadcast to the rear speakers. I very much like the tiny speakers for my purposes and the signal from them is quite good. I could have given it a 5-star rating if they would just ship the remote s-air connector with the product in the first place.

T. BarriosI just bought this system [ASIN:B001EWEXOC Sony BDVIS1000 5.1Ch Blu-ray Album/DVD Family Theater System] to exchange a very old at the start age assemble system I deposit together in this vicinity 10 years earlier cycle which built-in a Marantz SR4000 AV Surround Receiver, a Panasonic S52 DVD/CD player, JBL J2060 run adjoin speakers, a Technics SB-C22 run crucial top speaker, Infinity Sterling Run 2001 rear speakers, and a JBL PSW1000 run subwoofer.I liked the perception of a Receiver/Blu-ray player all-in-lone system. Iwas also intrigued with (and a piece wary of) the wireless S-AIR rear speaker technology. I prearranged the system on outline and when it at home I was very pleased at how instant and straightforward it was to set up and form a junction with. Save pro as feared, I had no luck in being compensated the wireless rear speakers to work. (By the way, they're not totally wireless. Even if no wires call for to be go on starting the foremost receiver, all rear speaker must be together via speaker wire to the S-AIR surround amplifier, which itself must be positioned virtually the rear speakers, be plugged into an electrical vehicle, and be inflicted with an unobstructed indicate view outline to the foremost receiver unit. That was OK with me since I may maybe place the tiny amplifier on a lamp table then to my sofa and bury the rear speaker wires together to the amplifier behind my sofa located in the in trade of my income opportunity.)The "paring surgical course of action" that must be performed in diplomacy to wirelessly form a junction with the rear speakers with the foremost unit via a telephone system indicate transmission was very frustrating and disastrous each time I attempted it. I refined up mission Sony's Consumer Benefit and spent in this vicinity an hour and a half on the buzz with a expressive trying to get on to the speakers to sucessfully "duo" and work by the book - to no aim. By the way, there's no way to "tricky wire' the rear speakers to the foremost unit. With trying all doable the expressive understood that he was vacant to hurl me a "indicate thrust" cable (Sony part #: EZW-EC10) that I may maybe glue via the wireless transceiver slot on the in trade of the foremost unit. To display the nominal amount, if this thrust cable didn't work I was equipped to amount the system up, craft it in trade, and peek almost pro a uncommon system! I expected it in a tell of income, hooked it up (very straightforward) and presto!, I was competent to sucessfully go the "paring surgical course of action" and hear a strong indicate linking the speakers and the foremost unit. The speakers currently work fine and sound great! I don't admit why Sony doesn't contain the indicate thrust cable in the amount with the system! It would save alot of time and frustration pro someone who is having trouble being compensated the rear speakers to work.By and large, I'm very pleased with the normal of this system. I would be inflicted with agreed it 5 stars if it wasn't pro the frustrating rear speaker conundrum. Save pro with life corrected, the ensuing sound starting the 5 tiny speakers and subwoofer is awe-inspiring and powerful! I judge wireless technology in surround sound systems wants additional refinements.

G. SabinaMy sole complaint is with the intention of the rear speakers do not work. When the rear speakers would not pair, we got on the phone with Sony support. With a couple of hours it was single-minded with the intention of Sony would send us a indicate boosting cable (sony part# EZW-EC10). I also bought a very high-priced Monster HDMI cable to help. This fixed the pairing problem, keep for still no sound came from the rear speakers.With more hours on the phone with Sony support trying so many things to fix the problem, the Sony representative instructed us to mail the Surround Amplifier (Sony WAHT-SA10) to their repair center in Laredo, Texas.We mailed it and got a call a week later from the Laredo Center. They said they could possibly find no problem with the amplifier as it pairs immediately. We told them with the intention of pairing the speakers was NOT our problem. The problem is with the intention of the speakers will not play with pairing. Even if you promote headphones into the unit, you can't make any sound. They said alright and we never recieved another call from them. About 5 days later, we make the unit back in the mail and a cut of paper in the box states they can find nothing wrong with the unit.We at that time make back on the phone with Sony support on Saturday to crash this. They tell us with the intention of we will have to send the unit BACK to Laredo AGAIN. I asked if Sony could possibly mail us a NEW WAHT-SA10, and we will mail them this unit. They informed me with the intention of this is not procedure and with the intention of I should follow their procedures and send the unit back to them for repair.So, on Monday we will send it back ended again to Laredo once ended again..... If I had bought a 3.1 system I would be happy with the unit. The Blue Ray is nice and the front speakers and sub-woofer are sweet with lots of great sound. All I want is for the rear speakers to work!!!We have spent $650 for a 3.1 system. I should have packed it up and sent it back to Amazon. Currently, in view of the fact with the intention of it has been past my 30 days, I am stuck with it. the Sony support gentleman was very nice and told us Sony will make this aptly for us. I am still hopeful this will happen...in the mean time we will enjoy our 3.1 system.If I had bought this at Best Buy, I could possibly have taken it back to them very easily and gotten my money back. This experience will definitely prevent me from buying high-priced electronic purchases from Amazon in the prospect.Also, I should have not unseen all the reviews I look into about problems with this unit. I should have realized there was a reason this unit is so heavily bargain basement priced from the original hold fee of $999. Live and gather.
