Model HT-SS2300 discontinued? What is the new model? The unit was only released 1 year ago - is this unusual to discontinue in only 1 year?

I think the new model is the HTS-S360, which appears as "coming soon" on sonystyle.com. This new one looks cooler, in my opinion, and there are also a couple of improvements, obviously. I've been dying to get a component HT system to complement my PS3 & Bravia set up, and I was almost ready to purchase the 2300 when I decided (luckily) to check Sony's website. Since the new model is advertised to be only $350, I guess I'd recommend to wait for it, I know I will.

They already announced the launch of ATH-ANC7b. This is 2nd generation of these headphones, so that's the reason why they discontinued this model

TYT had lost a court case in China and was forced to discontinue sales and production of the TH-9000 radio. Well, the TH-9000 is back and it's called the TH-9000D. I guess that makes a difference to the Chinese attorneys. Please note there are issues with programming and clone on these new models reported. Also the microphone connecter has a different wiring than the orginal series.

This model is obsolete - out of production, outdated and you should look for a more recent one.

I compared the owners manual of the HTS-S360 online to the manual I have for my HT-SS2300. It looks like the S360 has had many features stripped down from the SS2300. The biggest cut was made by removing several music sound fields. The Hall, Jazz Club, Live Concert, and Stadium sound fields were eliminated and a "News" sound field was added. The Cinema Studio movie sound fields were also stripped down to a single conventional "Movie D.C.S." sound field. Other changes were made to the remote being basically stripped down but added more BD/DVD functionality. The front panel of the receiver also had most of the buttons eliminated except for the master volume and input selector buttons. The Auto Cal jack was placed in the back of the receiver this time. The AMP menu has had several changes, mostly with it being reorganized, but I thought it made it more complicated in my opinion. Some new things were added, but I thought they were irrelevent for the most part like a volume limit feature the Sleep Timer in the AMP menu. The only thing I liked was that Sony simplifed the HDMI settings in the AMP menu. Other than that, everything else has remained the same including the same speakers and subwoofer. Overall, it seems like Sony has stripped down this year's Blu-ray matching HTIB.

Why have these jumped $100? Yeah, they are discontinued but the replacement model are close to $200 also. What's the deal?

We don't show Model #000-11051-001 as being discontinued (nor does Lowrance's product page for the Elite-7 HDI Gold Combo). Could just be a misprint.

Sony website says 910 is discontinued. It might be newer, but the screen is smaller. I had the 1000, and I would rather have it than the 910. Had to sell my 1000, but I sold it for the same price that I bought it for, 2 years earlier!

We know, the manufacturer has discontinued for unknown reasons. Sorry about that.

I was passing time and looked up this TV on the Sony site to see what the cost is now because I bought it in December '08. I really like it and was surprised to see that Sony has discontinued it. It's disappointing to find my expensive new TV already obsolete. Anyone know why that would be, especially so soon? It's gotten good reviews.

Did you ever find an alternative to the BB2001? Funny, I just bought the im600 today, and it still had the slip in it for the BB2001. I would like to buy a subwoofer for it though, so let me know :) That goes for anybody reading this, too!

I have not seen a newer model, I have the my old 720 for backup and it still works.The 730 is a good reliable unit, me and my wife both have one.we are using it with the Samsung galaxy strat 3 (had more problems with smart phones) than with the Bluetooth.

I've been debating this also, the ss2300 has great reviews and a much higher MSRP, so it appears to be a better deal. But if this is basically the same but only a newer model maybe this is my best bet.

SONY discontinued this product since they've released newer ones. And with the age-old immutable laws of marketing, older models gradually become obsolete as new models arrive.

According to the manufacture's website, this product is discontinued and no new over the ears model is listed. Why did they discontinued this model if it is so good?

Just keep looking on ebay. That's what I had to do! Another great product discontinued for no apparent reason!
