I worked hard on it, once I make sure I was going to keep it. She soon discovered that can not be beat. For example, a simple performance that surprised me. Let's start with the good: Very stylish, compact and super easy to configure. The set-up I made was not tuning is standard. I took advantage of the management of optical audio from my cable box (good idea) and use the HDMI output to a 37-inch LCD. He did not want all my sound always have to go through the drive so I had to use some more "wire. The sound is absolutely unbeatable for the size of the system. If you're a sound junkie like me, you will appreciate the clarity and reality of reproduction. Music is like a concert, play DVD's like you're in a mini-cinema. People who do not like the sound of Bose, in general, as a lot of serious Bose unnatural and refuses to give in to that sound false. I replaced a Sony high-end 5.1 with this system for aesthetic and kicked myself for not doing so earlier. The sound is now simply better at all volume levels. 2.0 audio sounds even better through these little speakers I did with my old system. Now for the not so good: You need a fairly recent and not so cheap universal remote control, if you want to check this. Unless you do not mind the remote that comes with it says is universal, but found something else. Aqua Show text on the front of the unit can divert your attention when you watch the TV screen. No equalizer, to create a different sound than the standard Bose. Sometimes I wish that pumps out under a pile of cheese though. Finally, it is almost necessary to use the optical audio connection to ensure total control. Without it, you should turn up the volume for different applications. I use the lens, so I have no complaints. Before I left, I just want you to know that if you want a small system that can fill your room with a real sound, then you're on the right track with this system. You can create a fairly nice for the price of this thing, but why? 3 wires and you're done and have the best sound quality you can buy.3-2-1GS Series III DVD Home Entertainment System.

The entertainment system uses two advanced Bose 321 speakers Acoustimass module GemStone and low frequency to produce a powerful home theater surround sound that rivals the quality of most high-end solutions of five speakers. True Digital 5.1 Surround decoding the signal which means that any sound is immediately recognizable and out of 321 Entertainment System in a simulation of surround sound that could be misleading to think that George Lucas had a 5.1 system. Media Center houses a DVD player progressive scan and an AM / FM tuner to boot.The sound is really good. It's definitely BOSE quality in that department. The only problem is, if you can not play the DVD or music there is nothing to see anyway. We've all had the same problems with the DVD player does not read the disks, turning off partway through, and saw a movie night and this morning, the system does not turn well. We had this, has now been repaired and broken again. Far too high a price for something that is not going to work. If you look at getting a Bose sound system, I get only one speaker and then get a DVD player and separate CD player really run the media. We will replace our system with something else and it would be much to convince us to buy a new Bose.Enjoy with Bose 3-2-1 GS Series II DVD Home Entertainment System.

When I decided to buy my home theater in a box that I began to Best Buy to get demos all the toys and more. When I told the sales person for my needs (Blu-ray, wireless rear speakers, preferably Sony), this was the model that brought me in. Do not be too impressed with the size of the speakers (if in fact I said they were very nice), I hurry I wanted something with power.

What can I say? After the show, I was surprised. I thought it was some kind of trick and Sony had pulled the wool over the eyes to make me fall a thousand big ones. I went to all small speakers and covered it with his hand to control how the sound came. Trust me, no power on the speakers the size of golf balls. I was so impressed, he bought it immediately.

When I got home was like Christmas, and me through the window in less than 5 minutes. All speakers are light, evidence of what is really stupid. Because I have nothing to mount on the wall, I took some "less than 30 minutes to everything. The two rear speakers are wireless, but not really. Are connected to a receiver that is kept in the back of the room that there are still cables. When I turned on everything, I made the installation quick and synchronized my 57 "Bravia TV and have not looked back!Sony BDVIS1000 5.1Ch Blu-ray Disc/DVD Home Theater System.

I bought this unit to complete a Samsung HDTV LN52a550. It seems that was not good enough to embed the samsungs suspended from the source. Purchases of units affordable HTIB and decided (despite the precautions that most do not work) to give a proof of this unit. In my wildest expectations, I never thought that this machine could make up his description of marketing. Located in a cave that is ca. 15 x 25 and playing a DVD Dolby, who put me in a movie theater that provides sound effects that really amazed. Let me qualify this by saying that I am a newcomer to the audio, but for this sound in this amount of money I am really impressed.

Note that this unit is used with a Samsung HDTV from Sony and consequently the transition between the use of DVD and HDTV use (have to change the input source) is somewhat 'annoying. I discovered that to get surround sound for audio when television receive only (not DVD), you should buy a digital optical cable.Sony BRAVIA DAV-HDX589W 5.1 Channel Home Theater System.

The negotiations have been long for a home theater system. I heard a lot of systems between $ 500 and $ 1500. Hands off these systems sound quality and performance easily exceeded even the $ 1500 systems I have also heard Bose, Sony and Klipsch. The clarity of the ribbon tweeter is particularly impressive. I connected this system to my Panasonic Blu Ray and I saw Batman The Dark Night, and all I can say is wow! Ladies and gentlemen, is certainly food for your money with this system! I was also surprised that it was free movement of goods, the system comes in three boxes that weigh over 110 pounds! I was looking at the Bose sound system weighed only 30 pounds. The freight cost is only one packet. It could not be happier, would buy again.
This system is awesome!
I did a lot of research first HTIB systems I decided on this. Good quality is very high at an affordable price. The audio quality is exceptional, sub, the separation is large, Powered-woofer is very powerful, connectivity beats all the other HTIB systems I have reviewed, but I wanted to be HDMI.
The price is unbeatable for this type of sound. The remote is a bit "bulky" but then they are not "universal" remote controls!? Free shipping three boxes (110 lbs.) Adds even more value. I am "WOW-ED" in the system every time I sit down to enjoy a movie, television, high definition, or even the radio! I would recommend this system to all those who want an exceptional home theater experience.
BTW, I'm pretty sure this is a "Sherwood" receiver / amplifier. The speakers are the EG5000 series. Check it out SLS Q-Line Gold 650w 5.1 Surround Sound Home Theater System.

Customer Review
I am a radio nut (which goes back to the days of tube) and the Squeezebox Boom Internet radio is the third. I have a Roku SoundBridge R1000 and Sangean WFR-20 also. All have their strengths, but the Squeezebox Boom is certainly an important step, but sets a new standard in high performance, capacity and ease of use.

For wireless transmission of your music collection from your PC or Mac, the boom is the best. E 'can handle most formats (almost anything except iTunes DRM protected files) and works well, without incident or delay. The Roku is the # 2 and the Sangean lanes 3 (hangs and stutters a lot).

For Internet radio, all work well. The Sangean is the only one that runs natively RealAudio Streams (as the BBC) but has problems with Clear Channel stations. They pick the stations I want without problems, so this type of tie.

If you want to interact with online music services like Rhapsody / Pandora / etc MP3Locker, booming great works, with a capacity more than the other two. The SlimDevices / people Squeezebox also update and improve their software much more frequently than the other two, so I hope to stay ahead of the functionality and services available.

In sound quality, the Roku and boom are pending, with the Sangean, but clearly a step forward. The subwoofer Roku seems to go a little "more in my room, but the boom is maybe a little" softer and more musical. Boom uses the same woofer and tweeter as the most 'picks Logitech Z-10 but with lower (due to a larger cabinet and new amplifier / equalizer circuits). Both sound absolutely great and the game pretty difficult.

Ease of initial setup, if you start from scratch, I think the Sangean is the easiest to set up, unless you want to transmit audio from your PC ... is a real hassle. Roku is the rise and require a little more work '.

Ease of use after established: Boom is much better. Not only the menus to make true sense, but the lighting of the controls makes the radio can only be used easily without turning on the lights. The control and function keys back to get you through all functions quickly.

As an alarm clock radio, the rise has more options than others, and the screen has a wide range of adjustment so as not to disturb a light sleeper.

All these radios are a lot of fun. Boom more and do better.Enjoy with Logitech Squeezebox Boom All-in-One Network Music Player.

Customer Review
There are better receivers? Sure. I am an audio-phile (or what)? No. Can I tell the difference between high and distorted, loud and clear? Yes, I can drop more than one large one for a receiver? No. I'm going to spend the minimum possible based on a receiver? No. I'm happy with this receiver and performance? Yes, certainly.

Context --
I have a medium or small room, 14 x 19 meters, wooden floors, carpets, some natural color (this helps reduce echo and reverb), a pre-wired system, connected to a PS3 with HDMI cables and the box with the HDMI cable. More importantly I have this box connected to Mirage Nano Est 5.1 speaker system (sold separately for the center channel). It seems Flippin 'great! The receiver has enough power to our room with a sound loud enough to wake the neighbors to fill, but never needed to be so difficult. More important is the clear and sharp ... confused a little noise. The first movie we saw this receiver is Brave Heart ... a good test for the music, the chaotic battle scenes and critical heavy Scottish accent. He spent more than his girlfriend and smiled at the sound quality is great fun, with a cinema experience at home.

Evaluation --
I have not yet examined all the functions, and given that only two components are connected ... probably not before. But I think the upconversion would be nice if I steal back to Wii from my parents.

I evaluated the "convenience" around the halfway point. The good news is that the included microphone and auto-configuration is quite smooth and clean (and easy), but as all receivers I've had, and some of the terminology difficult to understand. Many of the tools that are likely not used. And there is the possibility of weekend endlessly complicated audio settings. When I was younger, things like Turn Me On Now, I'm happy to have it all and see a Blu-ray as soon as possible (and because I liked the self-installation).

It looks great. The piano-black-almost no buttons first plate is strong, very strong ... a round of welcome sneezed-on-overload or beneficiaries of the normal buttons.

So all in all. 5 stars. In my opinion, Sounds good, looks very good, at a price that was comfortable.

Customer Review

This system is very impressive. I bought Sony BDVE500W 5.1-Channel High-Definition Blu-ray Disc Player/DVD Disc Home theater System for a month to see some movies together. I am not an audiophile and this is my first surround sound system for my main theater room.

I chose this system, mainly because of the tower speakers and the S-AIR-module. This is an all in one system with a blu ray player that supports about 5 different digital audio codecs. This is a clean, minimalist design. I was surprised by the depth of the receivers. It's bigger than I expected and more space is populated on the shelves of my entertainment stand.

One thing I've heard on the buttons in the top front of the receiver. They are small, in the same shape and color and strength to read the label to say what they are. This makes it even more annoying because no eject button on the remote and had to learn that the small buttons that eject my disc. I think I'm very lazy.

Assembly took about 15 minutes. It took more time to arrange the pieces for any room. There is a Quick Installation Guide to calibrate your system with a microphone included.

One thing to keep in mind, as with most HTIB, no video inputs. This means that you need all video sources directly to your TV or HDMI switch. There are mutliple audio inputs. For example, if you want your Xbox 360 is connected to this unit, you get the HDMI connection to your TV and use a fiber optic cable to route the audio to the receiver. Or you can use the optical output of the TV. This is not ideal, in my opinion, but again that is not a goal for me.

The sound is bright and clean. The sub-woofer blow strong enough to be felt in the chest.

Blu ray load faster on my LG Blu Ray.

I am very pleased with my Sony BDVE500W 5.1-Channel High-Definition Blu-ray Disc Player/DVD Disc Home theater System. This was the best unit for me and I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for an all in one system.

In addition, the multi-room controller with 2.4-inch screen color and navigation wheel is easy to navigate, select and play music from the palm of your hand.
The good: The Logitech Squeezebox Duet Wi-Fi Internet Radio Network Music System can stream music from your computer or internet to your stereo or speakers in any room of your own wireless network access at home. The iPod in the controller, you can control in any room with a sign of the network for maximum flexibility. This appliance combines the best of both worlds between mass storage of music in MP3 format and sound quality of dedicated audio equipment. In addition it also brings Internet radio and music subscription services to a stereo to boot.

The network setup Bad: Wireless can be intimidating for beginners. Some other aspects of the installation process can be a little easier "friends as well.

Overall: This is a dream lover of digital music has come true. What follows is my experience in the painting of a day to day use.

SETUP: I had my system up and running in less than 30 minutes, and this is a relatively small investment for what you get in return. Quick Start Guide in the package is more than enough. For physical components, is a breeze. Install the battery in the control, add-in connectors to the sockets on the controller and the receiver and connected to an electrical outlet and connect the receiver to the AUX on your stereo or separate speakers.

At this point, you should access the site and make your SqueezeNetwork account. They use a fairly standard process for registration, and receive an e-mail to activate your account. Once activated, you must download and install the SqueezeCenter server software. It seemed a real challenge for the link for the download to find. In reviewing my Harmony One, Logitech could benefit from greater attention to the usability of their software. Although these relatively small in the grand scheme of the product, some people will be frustrated by it.

Customer Review
I give this system 5 stars for the beautiful sound and great value. Panasonic is possible to further improve the system, making it so easy. Many details could be improved.

To purchase this system, I hesitated between the Samsung HT-BD1250 Blu-ray Home Theater System and this model. Although the system from Samsung has more features, like streaming Netflix, one side comparison leaves no doubt that the Panasonic sound is richer and deeper, and is the point of a home theater system!

I liked the ease of installation, color-coded jacks (owner), and automatic installation with the supplied microphone. There are also many advanced options that make each speaker volume and adjust the delay of the genre. But the book is not easy for beginners. The notes missing in some technical details. Sophisticated facility is only available on BD and not when you change the AUX or Digital is selected. This was confusing at first, and a bit "annoying now. More disturbing is that the choice of another input source with the remote control is incredibly slow.

It is also the integration with my Samsung TV via an HDMI cable. When the power of television, the BT-300 also powers. This saves a lot of stand-by power! The system is not very hot, while active (home theater systems Onkyo are famous for this). I also automatically activated when the pump on TV. It is also wise to mute the TV as a TV source is automatically ... I have alink Four TV compatible, so it was quite a surprise to at least some interaction between TV and my Panasonic SC-BT300 1250W 7.1 Channel Blu-ray Disc.

I was afraid that the only 2 digital inputs (optical fiber) and continue to limit the addition of more devices, but I realized that when you connect an optical cable from my BT300 TV, my audio broadcasting TV Set Top Box TV cable or antenna source, or what was selected. So you only need a single digital port on the BT300!

I have not tried the Blu-ray yet. I will update my review once I do.

I wanted to comment on the issue of other prominent wireless clients. I agree, buy, do not expect this system is wireless. For some wireless, you should buy 2 (hard to find) radio receivers at $ 100 each. Each receiver is connected to 2 rear speakers via cables! So the wireless part is only between the Panasonic SC-BT300 1250W 7.1 Channel Blu-ray Disc and the couch...

After the decision in a Samsung HTIB system to integrate with my 2 years Samsung HT-BD1250 Blu-ray Home Theater , I found this BD1250 HT system at Best Buy, with all the features I wanted (Blu-ray surround sound with wireless rear speakers, Anynet integration, integration with the iPod) in addition to a couple who decided it was "nice to have" (integration of wireless / pandora / Netflix). Once I realized that I needed Samsung SWA-4000 Wireless Speakers and add extra integrating HDMI and optical cables for my TV and HD / DVR cable box, the total package of the Amazon was by far the best and leave.

First quick note: NO, no more than the BASIC HDMI cables are purchased as a set here in the Amazon are 80% cheaper (even with the sending of third-party vendors) that if you buy at Best Buy and other brick / mortar. Do not Believe The Hype in so-called "high quality" HDMI cables.

What HTIB system itself, I found the documentation that accompanied me on most of my installation / cabliing scenarios, and almost everything worked for the first time after I changed everything. I had some conversations with technical support from Samsung to have everything configured as I wanted (I had some specific questions about the video / resolution mode switching between HD and HD inputs), but the medium is English and reasonably competent. (I only have a vague "guide" their support, as did what seemed to be a user error on my part with iPod integration, but the technology is not properly locate the drive and wanted to send my service fees.. . is not an acceptable solution. Then he left him for several hours and then return to it with a clear head and thought of my mistake in using the setup menu, and it showed that everything was fine after all.)

Customer Review
My husband and I were at stake in this Onkyo HT-S6200 7.1-Channel Home Entertainment Receiver and Speaker Package with Dock for the iPod. He had a top-line speakers Klipsh that filled my small apartment. The commitment was smaller, more compact set of speakers is still a good feeling about the sound quality. We are very happy.
The speakers are elegant looking and small enough to hide a couple in our library, without having to pay $ 2K for a super compact speaker. Sound quality is reasonable but not very good (compared with the impressive Klipsh expensive). The sound is very clear, and will not be disappointed, unless you really know your stereo. My favorite part is the base system for iPod. We use every night. Handy.
In general, I recommend this system if you're looking for a good sound at a lower price. If you want quality sound, spend the Klipsh.
I have a couple of months in search of the various components, HTIB packages between each option and a combination of quality, scalability and low to medium price range. In the end I decided because the reputation behind package 7.1 and the Onkyo receiver style component missing in most HTIB I've found. Established 42''LCD a Sony Bravia and the PS3, which turned out to be super easy. Power cables are of good length, but may decide to upgrade to the best later in the line. Automatic calibration microphone is easy to use and is essential for someone like me is not healthy settings.

The receiver has everything you need for a basic setup you have, including a few game consoles, television, stereo, iPod docking station (also great), etc. The presets sound great work, the menu is easy to navigate, although not can control the TV screen.

The speakers sound great! Along with a Blu Ray, is a world of difference between a low range or other HTIB systems I tried. If this is your first surround sound system, I think this is a big improvement from 2.0! The sub is big tree, tons of power to tackle even the most high-sounding tracks. The speakers are crisp, clear, aesthetically appealing and sounds great, when presented strong. I tried dialogue heavy films such as Casablanca, action movies like Live Free or Die Hard, concert films such as Los Lonely Boys (Live in Texas), games like GTA4 and Killzone 2, and all sounds quite amazing.

Then the music played through what seems unbelievable. The receiver comes with different settings for different listening modes, which all have their unique character and improve the listening experience.

If you are looking for a good start to the sound systems at low cost, low price is not around, BUY! Receiver of 7.1 means you can upgrade, if necessary, in future, but most people IMO would be more than satisfied with what you get out of the box. Highly recommended.

The Sony STR-DH800 7.1-Channel Audio Video Receiver offers Full HD 1080 experience to a home theater system. This new concept of 1080p A / V receiver features 7 high definition inputs with 4 HDMI with "Active Intelligence" that the desire for high definition content to be available. In addition, the STR-DH800 is compatible with the signals of 24p True Cinema video decoding uncompressed audio formats (Dolby TrueHD / DTS Master Audio / LPCM via HDMI), making it compatible with Blu-ray Disc, PlayStation 3 and the HD technology from other sources. Plug transmitter optional S-AIR AirStation and configure the client (sold separately) and listen to your favorite music in another room or different rooms.

All I know is sound, but I'm not a real audiophile (or name). So I do not know how a normal person would have this number, since it took half an hour on the phone with Sony support first conceived.

Now this is my second Sony receiver and I bought this specifically to go with my new Sony BDP-S360 Blu Ray. I used new category 2 HDMI cables into the receiver and then to my HDTV from Sony. This is the best way for actual losses not suppossed decoding audio and video. Well, I was surprised when my receiver does not decode DTS audio. All songs were played in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound perfect ... DTS Linear PCM stereo track back into play. So after reading the manual, updated the firmware and put everything to try a couple of DVD and Blu Ray I contacted Sony support via e-mail. The exchanges later, I asked her to call me solve my problem better. Before talking to the child of Blu Ray (because I'm not sure which device is causing the problem) and after resetting the player and check settings for everyone who was transferred to the audio department. Once you restart the machine to factory settings, checked all the start-up and still nothing has changed (I said I had to go out and connect various cables and run an optical cable to my Sony receiver old?). So 1 1 / 2 hours phone call asked if I had the sound through the TV speakers, it was me and said 'oh on TV AMP. So we changed the settings that only "Amp" and bingo ... DTS surround sound! I said, "What is the default. He said the information was in the manual, but I have found that neither the manual says that when the receiver is used as a gateway to finde a signal through the HDMI and DTS decoding beneficiary must be set to "Amp" and not just the default setting of "TV AMP What ...??

So now the phone works fine, even the new DTS-HD Master Audio on my "Watchmen disc" Blu Ray. But keep in mind that if you use the HDMI inputs for surround sound decoding, you must change the system of "amp" instead of the standard "TV AMP" unless you like the sound of your stereo surround system. This may be the case with other Sony receivers are well aware that the purchase of non-compliance can not allow optimum performance and the guys from Sony may not be aware of this fact when you call soon.

Customer Review
I finally received my Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K 7-Channel A/V Receiver in Black last night. I ended up being too late the night before to set it up. I bought the Pioneer in 1019 after a long decision-making between the Denon 1910, Onkyo 607 and Yamaha 765. I had 4 HDMI, so the old models did not work and was limited in depth so that the stamp was 4. I went with the Pio, because I've always been a fan of the sound and quality and each of the others are one or two things wrong (not shown Denon, Onkyo quality problems (?), Input yammy vacancy). My only concern with the Pio was in amplifiers and reducing weight. Affect the sound quality and power? Based on my initial tests, NO. This Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K 7-Channel A/V Receiver in Black has a very bright sound with great detail in a low and high. I heard no hint of tension.

Design
While the device is smaller and lighter than 1018 did not seem "cheap" and more than enough even to suggest that power. It looks really good in the rack. Distance is a bit "confused" but I will not use long after the installation and the Harmony database had all relevant codes, a pleasant surprise for a recent issue.

The installation process
"It was very easy to connect all speakers and components. The manual stinks, but it had been a reasonable period of time with the manual online before and after a few can read in the landfill. It took about an hour to get all old equipment and new equipment in allocating the tickets has been relatively easy. Change the name of inputs was difficult because of the way they handle text input, but was very flexible. I had some "problems assign the optical audio signal from my Macbook, along with an HDMI input. First, he tried to assign the optical directly to an HDMI input, but it is not possible. However, I had both the HDMI and optical assign a completely different name (I chose DVR). It worked well, but I suspect he really means that I lost a video input, because I can not send anything to the original HDMI input. There is a significant problem if not using all entries, but it was pretty nasty.

I have not done yet, but I have the manual MCACC speaker and speaker setup using my old Sony AVR and entry here. It was pretty easy, even with this rudimentary setup the sound was great. Even my wife (who is happy with the TV speakers only) referred to quality improvement.

I found a number of DSP and the repercussions, but I prefer to run everything, especially for BD set, but it was nice to extensive use my iPod stereo and all speakers.

Video
I had many questions about the video scaler. I agree with most posters that you should not buy an AVR that possibility. Most TV will do better than the $ 500 AVR. My TV is a 2006 model and average was taken to place what I wanted to see how it would look. I have my Comcast DVR with HDMI and Component / Optical to calculate the difference. HDMI looks very good (and not reduction, of course), but there was no effect on the visual signal. I had the sound is not annoying. Component looks really good for high-definition signals. I could not understand the difference between HDMI and component signals to HD channels.

Then I tried some SD channels with the scaler set to 1080p. The AVR is nice, but it was better than my TV. No worse, but I've already expressed my scaler is pretty average. So, as I said, do not buy the unit for expansion, but not bad either. Proof of the source and the TV and you may or may not lead to an improvement in PQ.

The good news is that it has a very good job upscaling (switch from analog to digital), which means you can have 6 HD sources (4 HDMI and Component 2), which is nice.

The only thing that seemed strange was in the configuration of the signals for 4:3 aspect ratio. The default is 'through' which makes me think that the signal unchanged, but in reality to the elongation of the signal (and does a poor job of that). I opened the sign of "normal" and then immediately after 4:3 signal intact - a big improvement.

All other sources look great. Panny BD35 looks and sounds and I was happy to see that my Macbook was able to get a clean signal through the AVR to the TV.

Audio
So the real question is how this unit sounds. As I said, I am very satisfied with the quality and balance. Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K 7-Channel A/V Receiver has all sounds warm and detailed. I hope to further improve the regulatory MCACC. I have heard a number of units in time and this was the Pioneer sound quality you expect from them. Do not think anyone will be disappointed with the sound or the power (of course if you're willing to spend 3x $ $ you can get a better quality of the Elite series. For the price, definitely buy one of these. Try Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K 7-Channel A/V Receiver and you will love it.

The Sony HTSS360 5.1 channel Home Theater System in Black provides a high definition experience. This new 1080p A / V receiver HDMI pass-through and 1080/24p capability thus supports the latest HD sources (eg, Blu-ray and PlayStation 3). The STR-DH500 HD connectivity does not stop there. HD has 5 inputs and providing enough options at a cheap price. Finally, the STR-DIGITAL MEDIA DH500 port entrance flexibility extends to playback music from various audio sources (eg iPod, Walkman Digital, a Bluetooth device or PC) with one of the various accessories (sold separately).In general, this receiver is a good value for money, but not all. Many of the features you'd expect from an A / V together in this unit. For example - only supports HDMI pass, which means that passing the signal to your TV or projector, but if you want sound through your speakers 5.1, you must connect separate audio receiver. The receiver does not pull the HDMI audio feed, even if the cable port. Even if you connect analog sources (RCA or component) to the receiver, the receiver will not run through the HDMI output. You need an analog output of the receiver to run on your TV or projector to carry the signal from these sources. I'm still happy with this device, and not only as a solution without interruption, as one would expect from a home theater receiver, and many of the features I took for granted, when I looked at all the elements proved to be false assumptions.

Customer Review
This was the best value for an HDMI surround system I bought Sony HTSS360 5.1 channel Home Theater System for my parents. The excellent sound quality is clear and easy to overheating, not the degraded image quality using the tickets. Definitely recommend. I recommend a good set of speakers to complement and to unlock its potential.Enjoy with Sony HTSS360 5.1 channel Home Theater System.
