I bought this a few days ago and it is already on its way back. The only word I have to describe this system is garbage. The speaker wires are short and ridiculously skinny, it takes forever to load up, and it has a constant whistle that unless you are blasting the volume you can always hear. I called Coby Customer Support and they told me it was my T.V.s fault, I have a 42in LCD, that didn’t mess with my Philips I had before. They took none of the blame and the guy was pretty rude. Save your money and go with another brand. I ended up getting a new Philips instead. Was actually 7 dollars cheaper in the end too. I would not reccomend this brand, let alone the product, to anyone EVER

Granted that the price is low, but Coby ought to have made some attempt to deliver a product that functions at all. System produces extremely loud rushing noise, is complicated to set up and adjust and has documentation that confuses rather than informs. Returning product is costly so save yourself the effort.

I agree with the other reviewer… I received this item for Christmas and also experienced the “humming” or white noise that unless you blared the volume, was always there. Customer service was non-existant as when I called, I receieved a voicemail box and never got a call back. Would not recommend this item to anyone!

Earth shattering sound and dynamic bass that makes the bose systems out there sound like kazoos. Why spend more than the price of dinner at ruby tuesday on a surround sound system? My colon is still bleeding.
