Sony HTDDW830
I'm new to these boards but I've been looking around and I didn't see any posts related to this particular HT package. I was wondering if anyone knew exactly what model receiver and speaker bundle is contained in this package. I've been seeing it advertised for $399.99 and I was wondering if it was a good buy for this price. I'm a college student looking for something for my dorm room but also something that I could use after I graduate to get started. I would appreciate any feedback and I apologize if this was covered somewhere else. Thanks in advance for any help. :-)

it's an ok starter set if you are only going to use it for movies and not music. my unit in particular emits an annoying hiss that really detracts from music. it is decent for a dormroom and 400 is a fair price.

Okay, so I just called up Sony to get the model numbers for all the components contained in this package and the person gave me all the model numbers (there were 4 of them) and went on to tell me that they are all new models and have only been around since May, 2001. I asked her if there was a current model I could compare the receiver to for quality and reliability purposes and she told me that she didn't have any information like that because it was too new. Does anyone think it would be too much of a risk to buy this package as a college student looking for his first DD and DTS setup for a dorm room? Or is it possible that the newer model could mean that some of the problems (re: hiss) may have been fixed? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
