Customer Review: Great Home Theater
I had some reservations about purchasing this product after reading other reviews. Ultimately I decided to get it, figuring I could return it if there were problems.
I’m pleased to say that the product has performed flawlessly. The sound is great; it fills my large living room with sound.
I have it installed with a Samsung plasma display & Samsung BD 1500 Blue Ray player. Contrary to other reviews I had no problem hooking it up according to the manual. I did use (3) HDMI 1.3 compliant cables for all connections; as well as (1) optical cable as directed for sound.
The Anynet feature works fine. After allowing Anynet to find my other components I am able to perform everyday viewing tasks with one remote. Advanced features of the TV still require using the remote for the TV.
Amazon price and delivery were excellent as usual. So far, I am completely satisfied with this purchase.
Customer Review: good service, excellant shipping
I read what people wrote about this ht, but honestly I am impressed with this item, the only problem is that the one for all home theater remote doesn’t seem to work good with my samsung blue ray player

Cheap   Energy Take Classic 5 Pack 5.0 Home Theater Speaker (Black) Energy Take Classic 5 Pack 5.0 Home Theater Speaker (Black) Take Classic raises the bar for 5-speaker system performance. The Convergent Source Module (CSM), with its 3″ poly-titanium woofer and 0.75″ hyperbolic aluminum-dome tweeter, focuses sound for clearer dialogue and stirring music. The CSM gives soundtracks a dynamic frequency range and a huge soundstage, for smooth, realistic sound from each satellite speaker and the center channel. Music and movie lovers rejoice! Take Classic puts the passion back into your favorite films.
Customer Review: AMAZING SOUND!!!
First off let me explain that the Energy Classic speakers in this kit are the exact same as the Energy Take Classic 5.1 except that you don’t get the subwoofer. These speakers are just mind boggling good. They come in gloss piano black finish. They sound better than any speakers I’ve ever owned - even ones 5 times bigger. I use them mostly for music thru my Onkyo receiver but home theater sounds just as good. You can crank these babies up and they reward you with very clean and accurate sound. The first song I listened to with these was Khatru off Keys To Ascension and it put a big smile on my face. Anyway the best reason to get this set as opposed to the 5.1 kit is that you can match these up with a better subwoofer than the Energy sub. I got the Yamaha SW315 in piano black and it’s a great match. Highly recommended. Just remember to use the proper gauge speaker wire for the length of your run and you’ll be in great shape.

Customer Review: Tivo Series 3 works for me
There are two model numbers for this AV Receiver as disclosed on CNET. One model number is the RX-V565BL, the other is the HTR-6250BL, which I purchased. At various times, the prices of the two vary on Amazon, so I just went with the cheaper one. I coupled the receiver with the Energy Take Classic 5.1 and was able to get two satellites on Ebay to complete a 7.1 speaker system. To round out the system I have the Mitsubishi DLP 73″. I also have the PS3, xbox360 and Wii hooked up.

Cheap   Onkyo TX SR304S 5.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Silver) Onkyo TX-SR304S 5.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Silver) You ll find very little differentiation between most entry-level home theater receivers: passable performance, negligible processing capabilities and little (if any) versatility. The TX-SR304 5.1-channel home theater receiver doesn t follow that well-trodden path. By giving you the connections to the A/V components on everyone s lips today HDTVs, digital video recorders, gaming consoles, etc the TX-SR304 wants to broaden your entertainment possibilities, not limit them to basic DVD and CD playback. Naturally, you ll want the audio quality associated with the Onkyo name. That s why we ve included the circuitry and quality parts found in other Onkyo home theater receivers: Optimum Gain Volume Circuitry, 192 kHz/24-bit DACs, a 32-bit DSP chip, and an H.C.P.S. (High Current Power Supply) transformer. Finally, keeping in line with what s really important, the TX-SR304 provides a user-friendly, accessible solution to home entertainment.

Key technology Features:
192 kHz/24bit AD Converters: Costly, extremely powerful digital-to-analog converters , that not only boast a dynamic range of 120 dB, they process information faster and are virtually resistant to clock jitter, to ensure the best possible performance from DVD-Audio, DVD-Video and audio CD.

CinemaFILTER: The tonal balance of a film soundtrack can be edgy and bright when played back over audio equipment in your home this is because film soundtracks are designed to be played back in large theaters, using commercial equipment. Onkyo has developed its own solution that restores the correct tonal balance of a movie soundtrack in the smaller environs of your home theater.

Dolby Digital EX / Pro-Logic II: Home theater realism reaches new heights with the creation of Dolby Digital EX. By adding a matrix-encoded surround back channel derived from the existing discrete left and right surround channels, the lack of rear surround in 5.1 channel is eliminated. The result - a fuller 360 experience is created even from 5.1-channel DVD releases. Best results are obtained when Dolby Digital EX is used with movie soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX. Pro-Logic II is the latest improvement on the original Pro-Logic standard. Pro-Logic II provides a full-range signal to the five main channels, in addition to a subwoofer channel. This creates a realistic surround environment from a two-channel source, such as CD, Tape, FM Radio, etc.

RI (Remote Interactive): With Onkyo s exclusive RI (Remote Interactive) system capability, you can integrate and operate all compatible components through a single remote control. What s more, RI capability enables you to simply connect the iPod to your receiver through Onkyo s RI Dock for the iPod (DS-A1). Your iPod effectively becomes another Onkyo component from which you can relish a fuller sound that just can t be experienced through headphones. RI capability will also give you remote operability of your iPod for hands-off control over your digital music.

WRAT (Wide Range Amp Technology): Imagine turning up the volume and filling your entertainment room with noise-free, impressively powerful, true-to-life sound. That’s the benefit of Wide Range Amplifier Technology. Originally developed for our most expensive high-end amplifiers to handle the sonic demands of today’s digital age, you’ll now find WRAT even in our lowest-priced A/V receivers. The WRAT family of technologies includes a broader frequency range with lower noise entering the signal path perfectly suited for new high resolution DVD-Audio and SACD formats.
Customer Review: Onkyo Receiver - great Product
Excellent product. Easy to use. Hook up was easy as well. I highly recomend this product!
Customer Review: wow, delivery was FAST!
The Onkyo tuner was delivered to my door in less than 2 hours. The price was right. I have trouble with it shutting down when I turn up the volume any where close to the max. Is this normal? My technique tuner I owned for 25 years had MUCH more power.

Customer Review: Disappointed with the Klipsch CS-700
I bought the CS-700 with excitement as I have been a huge fan of Klipsch speakers for many years. After waiting a couple of days to hook this up, I found that I was truly disappointed in the sound quality. Set up was easy and I didn’t run into any issues. But, no matter where I placed the sub, it sounded muffled and loose. There was a lot of vibration as if the box was not built well. I really wanted to love this system. After trying everything for almost the full 30-days, I returned it for the Sony Blu-ray Home Theater System and fell in love with that instead. Guess it all worked out for me.
Customer Review: Wonderful system
I purchased this last week from Amazon (One Call) and it was easy to hook up except missing one cable for my set-up. I did need assistance from someone else to program the remote. I find this system to be amazing for the price. Very powerful speakers. I Love it and would definitely recommend it to a friend.
