This product is a great value for the money (I paid $230). What stood out to me is the 3 HDMI inputs. I have heard way better sounding systems in the $600-$800 range, but for the money I’m very satisfied with this product. The auto calibration got me close, but I made my own tweaks as well (turned up rears, turned down the bass). I would certainly recommend this product.

This speaker system for the price is a really great deal. I picked it up from Amazon for $230! Half the price of Bose, and just as comparable! I have my HD DVR cable box and XBOX connected. Amazing Surround Sound!

This is a great home system that has amazing sound. I got it when it was on sale for $230, marked down from $350, it was a steal!! I have the receiver hooked to my sat dish and the sound even on the front speakers are crystal clear. The base is WAY to high but you can adjust it down. Great product, great price!

I really regret choosing this HTB over several components I had put together in my cart. The price was good so I decided to give it a shot. It was easy to put together and the auto setup feature was neat but I ended up manually tuning each speaker. First issue was that it kept frying out the outlets on my Monster 8 outlet surge protector. It ended up killing 3 outlets, ironically labeled Amp, Main Receiver, and CD, only to like the one labeled VCR (Go figure). Second issue, the subwoofer has too much bass which would be nice if I lived in a house but my apt neighbors started banging on the floor (Volume level at 15). Even if I crank down the level on the sub only, it was still loud. Annoying to the point I unplugged the sub (The center piece was sufficient). Third issue is an odd one. Usually when I power on my PS3, the video would go out with sound playing for a good 2-3 secs. Even stranger, the video turned to snow (Effect) when I left my PS3 sitting idle for about 5 mins. I had to restart the unit to fix that. At one point I was watching a video and it went dark for 2-3 secs then showed video for a second then blacked out again. I checked the cables and even changed them out but that was no help. I can’t tell if this unit got bumped up pretty bad during shipping or it was a dud from the factory. Even when working, I’m not too impressed with the sound. The side speakers really lack power. The front and center work really nice and the sub is great, but too loud. I think I’ll have to return this and just piece something together. A shame considering that it’s really nice looking, easy to setup, and doesn’t include a dvd, cd, or blu ray.

So far so good. A nice feature is that as soon as you turn off your tv and dvd, the HT goes to standby automatically
