Great unit for the money, but it's not without flaws.

Great unit for the money, but it's not without flaws.

I did end up returning this unit, but I think it's still an excellent value. It was on sale for $399 on Best Buy at the time and I'd read several good review about it, so I went ahead and bought, brought it home and set it up.

Great system, unparalleled value

Outstanding sound quality and functionality

Remote is too big and can't be set-up for my samsung dvd player

Good system if you learn all of the features

I have had this system for about three months now and I have tried just about everything I can with it. Overall, it is a very nice system, especially for someone who wants very high quality sound in all aspects(DVD, TV, CD, Radio, etc...).

HTB-505 delivers decent sound for the money if you know how to configure it.

Low cost, decent sized front speakers, decent sound.

Not enough control over bass/treble, manual is poorly written.

HTB-505 delivers decent sound for the money if you know how to configure it.

This is my first Home Theater system. I was looking for something reasonably priced and wanted some decent front speakers for playing music. This system satisfied both of these requirements.
