(4 out of 5)Excellent value with many hookup options
Great system for a great price at $339. Speakers produce great sound and the add-on (SWA-3000) for wireless rear speakers round it out. The reason I bought this system was for a 2nd home theater in our bonus room, where I was trying to save money by getting a HTIB rather than spending lots of $ on separate components and speakers. The thing I had trouble finding was something that would handle multiple digital inputs/outputs ... this system fit the bill without spending a fortune.
Opposed to one of the other comments on this system, it DOES upconvert to 1080i nicely...I've seen better upconvert DVD players, but not in a HTIB.
Very happy and satisfied with purchase...only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is the documentation; it's not terrible but it's too high-level for someone who know their way around an A/V setup ... would have given it a 4.5 if possible.
My Configuration: Toshiba 42" LCD 1080p (42HL167); DishNetwork HD/DVR Satellite Rec'r (Vip622); Samsung HTIB (HT-TX72); Xbox360; Xbox; iPod dock.
(5 out of 5)Great HTIB
I bought this HTIB to plug it to my PS3. First I tryied using the HDMI in port and it didn't work very well. It was slow and sometimes I needed to restart everything to make it work, also it didn't recognize if the input was dolby decoded or dts; so decided to try with digital audio input and everything worked great. The sound is really good much better than other HTIB that I have listened. Definetively much recomended if you are not planning to use HDMI in port.
(4 out of 5)Awesome!
I got this HTS together with the SW-3000 wireless module for the rear speakers and was a perfect fit for my needs.
I got it installed in about an hour and delivers an awesome sound. I used two HDMI cables between my Samsung 46" LCD and the satellite receiver. I have a PS2 connected to it using the Aux inputs, too. I didn't experience ANY technical problem playing all types of DVDs and CDs (and hope I won't).
I'm sure there are way better (and expensiver!) systems in the market but, again, this was a perfect fit for me... I couldn't ask for more.
I saw Transformers and Spider Man III a few days ago and Dolby 5.1 makes you jump from the couch!!! Put an old Pavarotti DVD (surround mode) the other day and the power and sound quality just made me cry...
I highly recommend the wireless system for the rear speakers; for an extra 100 bucks you will avoid the hassle of cabling. My family room connects with the kitchen so I put the rear speakers over the upper cabinets... and it was a perfect lay out (measures) to get the best sound.
I also recommend you make some research on sound systems (dolby, dolby 5.1, 7.1, etc..., get your room measures, and check for speakers lay out recommendations before you buy anything. It's all in the web.
Summary: Awesome out-the-box Home Theather System!!! I couldn't be happier!!!
(3 out of 5)Good Product but does not play all types of DVD's
The product is excellent and plays well for my needs on the formats that it supports. I do have a concern that most of the available formats of DVD/CD/VCD are not played by this player and hence you have to resort back to playing on the laptop.
(4 out of 5)Great sound but some problems...
HDMI is very problematic, you can not watch TV and listen to the radio at the same time even if you use Component instead of HDMI cable on your cable box. Also, the DVD DOES NOT UPCONVERT like some similarly price models. And I noticed a lot of DVD copies don't work even with component. There is no AM reception either. On the plus side the sound is amazing with CD's, FM or Ipods and the DVD picture although 480p only is very clear.
