5.1 home theater system ; built-in Blu-ray player ; best-in-class sound quality ; excellent image quality on Blu-ray movies ; Netflix and Pandora streaming ; fast Blu-ray load times ; iPod dock included ; attractive exterior design

Great, simple and affordable system for anyon... 

Great HD, super easy to set up, and sounds good enough. And LOVE the streaming Netflix and Pandora (and now Blockbuster and YouTube). I am currently trying to live without Cable or Satellite, 4 months in and so far no complaints

"Great System; Really Nice Sound"

By redstorm28 (cnet.com)

Really nice system. This is what HTIB is supp... 

Crisp Clear sound, Easy to listen to, no backround hiss or hum like my old system, (a 7 year old Sony 5.1) Watching a TV drama, suddenly I heard football A game was being played on the patients room TV, as the doctor talked to the patient! Cool

I'm not tech savvy, and i don't like crawling around putting systems together. This sytem reqiured that. No HDMI cable and no Optical Cable either
