While I can't speak with much experience -- this is my first home theatre system -- I have to say that I'm quite impressed with the system thus far. Installation (with my cable box/DVR) was a breeze, the interface is easy to use, and image/sound quality are wonderfully clear. My only gripes: The remote control is too big (large and rectangle-shaped, rather than easy-to-hold), and, according to the documentation, MP3-CD support is limited (filenames must be 8 characters long). I'll be plugging in my iPod instead.

While the system was easy to set up, unfortunately, the DVD player did not function perfectly. On several DVD's I tried, problems like the inability to select certain chapters of a movie, or the picture freezing up, occurred. (I tried the DVD's in another player and could not replicate the problem.) I sent it back and did not bother asking for a replacement product. Also, the buttons for DVD functions on the remote are really tiny and the user manual did not explain things as well as it should have.

this system saved my tv by bypassing a bad rf connector and now i can use dvd and vcr thus it saved me hundreds by not having to buy a new tv. As for the negative reviews, i found the sound quality good, easy to use and all the features good, so if youre convinced the system is too cheap go spend more go buy yourself another brand name and get the same features at a higher price
