As an added convenience, the Stratus 4 supports Sirius' universal docking architecture for easy compatibility with other Sirius accessories and docks in other vehicles and in the house. An intuitive three-line display tells you the channel name and number, artist name, and song title. The receiver also lets you program up to 10 presets of your favorite streams, as well as search by channel name and music category. And with a quick press of the one-touch jump button, you can instantly switch between the traffic and weather reports for your city or any of the other music, news, or entertainment channels. Other programming details include direct station tuning via the numeric buttons and a channel lock option.
The Stratus 4 also includes a built-in FM transmitter that sends Sirius radio programming to your vehicle's FM tuner, so you don't have to make a direct connection to enjoy the full array of channels. Simply set an empty FM frequency on your radio and tune the Stratus 4 to the same frequency. The transmitter also works with other FM tuners, such as the one on your home stereo, but is easily paired with the car thanks to the vehicle kit, which includes everything you need for listening to Sirius while driving. Other features include a real-time clock, a parental lock function that restricts listening to locked channels, and large easy to use buttons. The Stratus 4 measures just 9.5 x 7.5 x 3 inches.

An actual owner review.......2007-12-22
I too got this as a freebie from Best Buy with a Sony Bravia LCD46". When the deal was going on I listened in the store and I thought..ehh, ok, its free. I even thought about selling it on ebay, as they go for around $450 there. I finally decided to install it after reading the install instructions because it happened to work out perfect for our family room. I thought if it was decent it would keep me from going out and spending $2000 on a system, not to mention the hassle of a big system.
I can't figure out why people think this is complicated. Took about 2 minutes to figure out the hookup. Very compact and discreet. The little speakers are almost invisible in the entertainment center. Wife friendly for sure. Our house was prewired so it was just a matter of setup and go.
Those folks who pass because of the sound in the store are selling the unit short on sound. I have a room about 16x20 with a big vault and its attached to the kitchen/dining area, and it will fill it up the entire area nicely. No problems there. I managed to find a good spot for the sub and it works well, even though its an odd setup. I feel like that might be an issue if you don't have a spot relatively close to the main speakers.
We have 5-6 ipods running around the house and its cool to drop one on the unit and listen away. You can control the ipod with the Sony remote...surpise. The stereo seperation is very nice. The sound fields and tone variables allow plenty of sound adjustment. I have had a few serious home and car systems and this really is very easy to listen to. Not super hifi, but enjoyable. The bass is good, and does the job.
The surround sound is more than adequate, although you won't be impressing the neighbors down the street. If that's what your looking for, move on. All in all, I'd say, if you have the need for a discreet, compact system, that does the job and comes in a nice package, this should be considered. If you have a home theater room with a 100" TV and theater chairs and curtains lining the wall, probably not what your looking for.
Now, the price. $800...? No. $450 on ebay, bnib? Maybe. Free...oh heck yes. Btw...Bestbuy had the Sony Bravia on sale AND the Dav IS10 for free. If they run it again, its definitely worth a look. Or, check out ebay. Some of the folks who got the freebie are selling bnib, factory sealed.
Big sound -small system.......2007-12-18
Short and sweet, I got this system free when I recently bought a sony 47" LCD tv I figured how good could this be free with a 2,000.00 tv? to my suprise it sounds great thought setup should be a little easier just have to read instructions close is it worth 7-800.00? probelly not but if you want good full sound that takes up little space this is the unit for you. I would recomend this to anyone looking for a nice clean system.
What on earth??.......2007-12-18
I heard this system at a local store.
Ohh my god what an earth is Sony thinking???
Absolute rubbish!!!
Pretty much the worst sound I've ever heard in a sub/ sat system (and I've heard a lot!)
Pretty sad that Sony is selling this. They are good at so many other things.
That being said it might actually be a good system if you live in a closet.
Nice system, bad setup.......2007-10-22
First off, I'd like to say that the system is nice. Good sound, and especially compact. I have Polk bookshelf speakers but they won't fit in my small apartment. These speakers can go anywhere!
On the downside, setup was rediculous. I have a Sony Bravia TV and a Sony Vaio Media Center PC. I had to run the HDMI out of the TV, into the PC and the Digital Audio from the PC to the system. The iPod cradle was equally troublesome as I had to route the Audio into the system and the Video into the TV.
Be aware: There is no HDMI Input, only output. Great for someone that doesn't have a lot of AV equipment or to be put into a small room. Onboard DVD is fine, haven't hooked up the AM, FM or cable (cable routes to my PC anyway).
WOW.......2007-10-16
The Speaker are really small!!! but it sounds great for the size. good power, I recomend it for a medium size room...
