dvd home theater

This system is so easy to use with so less connections and easy installation. The sound is really good for a living room for an apartment though can be less for a big room in a big house. The wireless speaker system is amazing. I never felt any difficulty with the rear speakers with wireless connection, it never interfered with my 900MHz cordless phone or any other cordless/wireless device in my apartment. Overall, a product worth buying for your apartment.

Pros: - Slim, cool looking design. - Fairly easy to set up. - Fairly easy to use (see DVD Fast-Forward and Rewind below.) - RF rear speakers reduce wires and work great! Cons: - CD player has to load the CD before you push Play. You can sit their waiting for 7 seconds before the CD is Loaded. It doesn't recognize when you push Play while loading. - DVD sound is kind of weird. The sounds are very loud, then you can't hear what the actors are saying. This could be a problem with other HTS's, I don't know, but it should have an adjustment for this (it doesn't). - DVD Fast-Forward and Rewind is weak and difficult to use. Ex. The Fast-Forward button is the same button as the Chapter Forward button. For Fast-Forward, you just hold it down. Well, it you forget this (as I have) you are suddnely in the next Chapter. Then the problem is getting back, as I said you have to hold down the Chapter Reverse or Chapter Fast-Forward button down for a second before it kicks in. then you have to do it again to get to the next speed (x2, x4, x8). x8 is the maximum search speed. Which is 3 times too slow. - No speaker stands. For this price, this is unacceptable. I would not recommend this system. It's way too expensive for what you get.

Simple to set up, and the semi-wireless rear speakers are a great idea. There are a LOT of features packed into this set, which are added value. It sounds just as good playing CDs as DVDs (and even MP3s!). And we don't have wires straggling across the living room.
I do think that treble/bass controls would be really nice to have, and the slick design of the player puts some controls on TOP of the player, which means they are hard to use if this is placed above eye level. You also will NOT want to put anything on top of this (due to the controls, and the heat generated by the player, which has vents on the top).
