Summary: Just what the doctor ordered.
Review: For years I've been watching movies with the TV's speaker -- which is mono. Here's why I picked this unit:

* Digital inputs. This was crucial.
* Powered subwoofer.
* 600w output. It's in a small room, but I wanted room to grow
* When I bought it, there was free shipping -- at 50-70 pounds, surround systems cost a ton to ship.

I hooked it up, and it sounds incredible! I'm probably only using about a third of the power it can put out, but even so, explosions rock the house... Dialog is crisp and music sounds full and rich. Setup was a breeze; the wires are color coded, and the manual gets you up and running quickly.

Another bonus is the DVD player -- I already had one (an Apex from Amazon), but this is a great little unit. It puts out beautiful progressive-scan pictures. You can fast-forward at incredible speed (I think the top is 120x). Best of all, it has a 1.5x ffw speed that plays sound without distorting it (it doesn't get high-pitched). So if you were in a hurry maybe you could watch a DVD faster that way. :)

All in all, an awesome unit.

Summary: Great unit for the $$$
Review: I bought this and have been quite satisfied. I bought it cause i have had such great luck with jvc products and own others that i can link together.

Sound is execptional for small speakers. Saving Private Ryan sounds like your there on omaha beach.

Only thing i had trouble with was a setting to activate the optical input from a default setting for the cd player, to be active on the dvd player. once its done everythings just great.

Summary: A Great Low Price Home Theater
Review: I bought this for Christmas and it is great! The sound is wonderful, especially the surround sound for dvds. Sounds just like you're in a theater! It wasn't even that bad to set up, except for dealing with all the speaker wire! The sound is excellent. The only two problems are I wish the front left and right speakers had more speaker wire and I wish the remotes glowed in the dark. Other than that an excellent system.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great sounding system
Review: This product is very easy to set up. It sounds great with video games, as well as movies.

I have an average sized living room, which is 12*15, but yet I had to buy addiontal speaker cable.

Also had to pay about $100 for mounting brackets since they do not come with them. Something to consider when trying to be cost effective. It just may have made a difference in whether or not I would have still bought this item.
