Consumer review by: tree597 (cnet.com)

Not expensive, but you get what you pay for.

I have tried calling customer service (no help), and every conceivable method of getting the player to not stall, but it does every time. Right as the stars come in to ring the mountain top at the opening of the Paramount display. Very frustrating. For...

Sound quality, price and ease of set-up are all nice

Won't play any DVD's from Paramount

very good for the price

If you are looking for a good home theater system that wont break the bank this is certainly one to consider. I have had this product for 2 years now and have loved it.

easy set up ; good sound ; fair price

no optical sound ; wires connecting speakers to main unit are a little short ; fingerprint magnet

AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT!!

Would Recommend it for anybody who loves BASS and Big Sounds and all these for just a lil price and Amazing Output Power.

This is an Excellent HTS with the most user friendly features. Fast, Sharp and Clear with Flawless Design and Precision

The system sound gets clumsy only sometimes while playing and switching the sound modes or for that matter anything switched. This happens only sometimes and does not matter to me as I just have to turn it off and back on. Prob solved

This system is amazing for the price...

bottom line is this is an excellent system...no its not a bose, but you'll save yourself at least $800.00. Good sound quality multiple features. Can't go wrong with this system..Just wish you could adjust the speaker volume individually..I believe the...

I have a small living room 12' x 18' and don't have to turn it up past half the volume ; Excellent system. very loud, shakes my walls. FM radio..I pod..dvd upconvert..hdmi output. what more can you expect from a system that's under 200.00

only a couple of things i don't particullarly care for ; wires could be longer, and for some reason you can't adjust the speaker volume individually.. other than that couldn't expect more

Consumer review by: Texan in Nebraskie (amazon.com)

Owned 13 Months

We purchased this system just over one year ago. The primary issues have stemmed from the player itself, which we have attempted to pair with multiple TV's in the home. When watching a DVD with the player, a flickering white line remains at the top...

Wasted Money - Doesn't Last!

This would be a nice system if it would work longer than a few months at a time. The first unit we purchased lasted about 4 months then refused to power on. Philips did replace it with no hassles, I will give them credit for that. The new unit...

Very good for the money

Bought this awhile ago, and have had absolutely no problems with it at all. The sound is great and the amount of inputs are ample. The only problem I had with it is the rear speaker wires are a little shorter than I needed. I simply added some wire...
