Sony RHT-G800

The Sony RHT-G800 is designed to combine an effective pseudo-surround experience with an attractively designed storage for an LCD or plasma TV and equipment. Moreover, it is a virtual surround-sound speaker system and TV stand. It has a glass top shelf that covers a basic menu display which is concealed enough to not be a distraction. It is featured with two HDMI inputs, one HDMI out, three optical digital in and a coax digital in, as well as composite for older systems. There is a total of 470 watts of power, with 120 watts being fed to the sub and the remaining being split between five ‘front and rear’ speakers. Audio quality is better overall than the X2, but still requires a suitable environment in which to achieve its pseudo surround effect. It is featured with coaxial and optical digital inputs for DVD players, as well as analogue RCA inputs for older equipment, and the Sony will extract Dolby Pro Logic sound from these connectors. Reviewers from avreview.co.uk stated that the RHT-G800 is fairly expensive; it is rather a flat picture with less vivid colour and contrast. While some reviewers from reviews.cnet.co.uk stated that it looks good and works well, but the sound quality isn’t the best that it could be and the price is high. In addition, it has a limited space. It has a good range. It has a basic setup menu and it displays information about the current settings.
