Summary: Venturer is a clearinghouse for generic Chinese Electronics
Review: I used to have the name of the manufacturer and their website out of China that makes this generic home theatre system. I blv this is the Upgrade Deluxe model of the more popular basic home theatre package for $...that came in a black finish and was sold at Kmart with disastrous results. It also is sold at Best Buy under the KLH name but with color variations and little blue LED lights...but exactly the same thing. I blv Target is now selling this basic model as well for $... It goes under the Audiovox logo. But it is the Basic model and NOT the DELUXE model you see here at AMAZON.COM. (Note: Many popular brand name electronics surprisingly come from the same manufacturer with different variations to the product. Getting the generic version like Venturer doesn't necessarily mean you are getting junk.)However, there is very little difference as far as quality is concerned, and I've seen both. I bought two of them. I also brought them back when I saw a better product. The laser reading system is very, very sensitive, and just a little dust particle or a fraction of a fingerprint can make the disc skip or freeze. This is unusual and is the result of miscalibration with the manufacturer. (In other words, many of them need tune-ups). The basic model is 130 watts. But this is the wattage of the entire system with power supply and other wattage uses. I estimate actual maximum sound wattage at 90-100. The cube speakers are of so-so quality. The bass speaker is low quality and while it woofs a little, it could hardly be called a true Bass woofer. There is NO DTS decoding, and I blv there might be a DTS OUT jack, and you'd have to buy a sep. RCVR that decodes DTS sound and the cheapest I've seen is $.... There is NO DSP, so you can't select Theatre effect, Hall effect, Stadium effect, etc.
The player can read only DVD and I blv one type of MP3. No region except Region 1 (America) can be played on this. You can't hook up a sep. REGION DECODER. You can't play DVD's from other countries regardless. For those that have absolutely NEVER experienced true home surround sound (not virtual), this would be a good start. You'd also probably have the adventurous experience of repacking the darn thing and sending it back (within 90 days mfr warr). So at least the name of this system is justified.

Summary: Buyer Beware!
Review: I've had nothing but problems with this system. It skips constantly, no matter what movie I play and quite often freezes altogether. I should have known better considering the almost non-existent warranty. Do your self a favor and spend a little more money for a system that will actually play movies!

Summary: Buyer Beware!
Review: This system is horrid. Not only have I had problems with it skipping, pausing, and completely freezing, but so has a friend of mine with the same system. I dont recomend this product to anyone unless you dont mind a great movie skipping, pausing out for a second or so, or completely freezing up on you. I personally find it very frustrating. The sound is decent for the little money, but this skipping, pausing, and freezing is enough to make you want to throw your new machine in the trash.
