• Good System for the Price
  The Good:
  The quality for the price. For around $400 it is a good system: 5.1 surround audio, good bass, wireless rear speakers, iPod docking station, FM/AM, Aux, digital optical audio input (Toslink), 5-disk CD/DVD changer, multi-format CD/DVD player, good highs/mid/lows in music, lots of options on configuring the system, good directions.
  The Bad:
  Only 1 HDMI output (no HDMI input!), non-universal remote (I hate using multiple remotes too, GRRR!), WEAK rear speakers, DVD upconverter... more info

• A good entry level system
  i own a 67inch samsung tv. my family refers to it as our imax. so i decided it was time for us to get our first home theater system. i did a little reserch and landed on this one. it was a definite upgrade from the tv speakers. it made watching movies way more fun... BUT i'm pretty into sound, and i was a little dissapointed with the limited tweeking the system gives you esp with eq. i was also suprised that the systems volume limit isnt higher. they told me at the store it would get louder with better... more info

• Good overall value
  As others have pointed out, this is not the best system around, but for ~$400 it is a good value. The sound is good enough for most people in most places. Volume levels for all speakers are good, including the rear wireless, and no hissing. The wireless does not interfere with my home wireless 802.11g network. I also have the SH-FX85 extra room speaker kit whose sound is very good.
  My biggest complaints are the setup menu and the remote.
  The setup menu cannot be accessed unless your input source... more info

• Just ok
  I've had my unit for about 2 weeks, in a 34x17 room. The speakers are excellent at high volumes and you can set the bass to be pretty decent.
  The problem is I do notice some hiss/ticking on the rear speakers. This is dependant on location relative to the main player. Also if you use cfl bulbs, not sure why?
  Lastly, the upconvert when it works is really ok, except it doesn't always upconvert even when it's playing the same movie.
  I've decided upconverting isn't for me and that I want blue ray... more info
