Customer Reviews

You get what you pay for2006-04-07
I've had this unit for approximately a year now. I purchased it along with a Sony 42" Grand WEGA RP-LCD.

This system is good for a small room, but it is not nearly loud enough for a normally-sized living room. The satellites don't become effective until you have the volume cranked to the 60s (out of 70) and the subwoofer doesn't pump out nearly enough bass.

It's obviously tailored towards a casual user, which is perfect for the price. Wish I had just gotten something louder.

Also, this system has 2 remotes: 1 for the receiver, and 1 for the DVD/VCR. You have to use both unless you get a universal.

The Good:
+ Cheap
+ Includes all cables
+ Easy to setup

The Bad:
- WEAK POWER
- 2 remotes: 1 for receiver, 1 for DVD/VCR
- Subwoofer is sub-par. Not enough bass.

I looked at this at Best Buy and I say "WOW!" It has terrific sound quality and the picture quality on the VCR/DVD is okay. It has digital cinema sound, Dolby digital, Dolby pro-logic, Dolby pro-logic II, and last but not least, it has DTS surround sound. The buttons on the remote (for the VCR/DVD) are very small along with the words on the buttons. The subwoofer is very powerful. I said to myself, "I hope the pictures on the wall don't rattle and fall off." The center speaker also has a very nice sound quality. Use the sound fields located in "movie" for cinema-like sound. Overall, I recommend the system for the sound quality.
Generally good, with some caveats2005-02-27
Overall, a nice unit. Not as powerful as the wattage would imply.

Some caveats:

- The DVD player itself is quite loud; during quiet passages of music or movies, it's a bit intrusive

- The VCR and DVD units are slow to respond to the keypresses of the base unit or the remote, which is somewhat annoying.

- The amplifier smelled quite "hot" during the first few weeks, which made me worry about reliability.

But I've had this unit for almost 6 months now and have been generally pleased with the performance and features, especially for the price.

" For a list of all the ways technology has failed to improve the quality of life, please press three." - Alice Kahn This quote is certainly applicable to consumer electronics. From the very first commercially produced radios to the latest in high-definition television technology, the manner in which the components used to deliver our news, music, movies and entertainment are interconnected seems to have escaped logic. For both the newcomer and the old hand alike, connecting equipment in the most efficient and effective manner can be a painful chore.
