Customer Review: Good,,for htib
A search of the internet will quickly reveal many in the audiophile community bashing “home theater in a box” (htib) systems like this, and many of their entirely valid criticisms of such systems apply to this unit, but it has a lot of redeeming qualities too that make me overall convinced that this is a good buy for anyone whose needs match what it provides. Also it is a pretty high end htib so the sound quality will exceed what many would expect. A quick word on settings: This unit comes with a number of effects such as surround enhancement and some pre set EQ settings. Don’t use them. Maybe turn down the sub a bit and turn up the center channel, but your goal with movies is to ACCURATELY reproduce the sound as it was intended to be heard. Keep everything flat and you will hear how the movie was meant to sound. That’s how I know this is a quality htib: It sounds good with everything flat)

Customer Review: Great Cable, Great Price
This is a great HDMI cable at a great price. You could spend two or three times as much and have exactly the same picture and sound. The build quality of the cable is very good - I ran mine through a wall by pulling it through with a fish tape and had no problems whatsoever. if you are thinking about buying a shorter cable, I would recommend you consider this 15′ length unless you are very sure you need a shorter cable. By the time I ran the cable back through the TV mount, down the wall, and the back I had about 6′ left to get to my device, which was just about perfect.

Customer Review: Fantastic
I have just got this product and man what a system it is. The only thing which I did not like is the size of the subwoofer which is big. The rest of the speakers packs a power punch. I have got a pioneer receiver as a combination and the sound is fantastic. Also to give you an idea my room is in the dimension of 16 ft by 12 ft. If you are looking for a product which is small in size this would not be an ideal speaker system. What it lacks in compactness it compensates in performance.

Customer Review: Works as you would expect
I have this running over my Onkyo SR805, and it lowered the internal temperature of the unit by 20 degrees F. The entertainment center is not well ventilated, so this was a must buy. It made a hot unit warm to the touch. I do agree that the unit doesn’t need the LED on the front, I plan on covering this with black electrical tape.

Customer Review: Every feature you could ask for!
This receiver has every modern decoding ability available on physical media. For the price I think it a fantastic bargain. I replaced my Denon AVR 5700 with this unit in order to gain the new HD DD and DTS as well as more capable video switching —– and to my ears - cannot tell a difference in sound quality. The only qualm I have about this unit is it does run hot. The Denon rarely got warm, but this receiver gets hot, even out in open air. I would strongly recommend against putting this receiver in a closed off AV cabinet. For the money - fantastic bargain.
