Noticing a Big Problem after 2 years

 

We bought this system about 2 years ago. As far as we could tell it worked great. My only issue at the time was that the speakers are VERY limited as to how you can connect them to stand or wall brackets. For the most part it did what we expected and...

Great sound for price. Klipsch speakers are adequate for HTIB

Limited use of amp with AUX inputs. Poor flexibility with mounting speakers. Scratches DVDs

Video/Audio Out of Sync otherwise not bad for the money

I have been very happy with this setup (for the money) with the exception of an out of sync issue when changing from one digital channel to another on by cable STB. I have to change the channel on my box to one of the channels in the analog spectrum...

Product Specifications

With features such as Progressive Scan Video, Surround Sound, and Klipsch Speakers, the HT-SK5 is a can't miss for your home entertainment needs. Progressive Scan Video allows superior non-interlaced images to be sent to the latest Digital Television receivers. The smooth, progressive scan image eliminates even the slightest hint of blur or distortion, bringing new realism to DVD Movies and DVD video selections. 3: 2 Pulldown Technology - The new 3: 2 Pull down system further improves progressive scan images by instantly displaying content originally shot at the 24 frame per second film standard in their original form. The result is DVD movie images that are incredibly smooth and natural. Extra Inputs allow you to connect additional components like your VCR to the system. The THX-Certified 5.1 personal audio system maximizes audio signals from new 5.1 computer soundcards. The twoway 5.1 satellite speakers include exclusive Klipsch MicroTractix Horn tweeters that cleanly and accurately handle the high frequencies. A three-inch fiber-composite cone driver delivers smooth mid-bass reproduction. The magnetically shielded center channel uses the same Klipsch MicroTractix Horn tweeter and three-inch fiber-composite cone woofer as each satellite speaker, ensuring an ideal blend and seamless driver transition. The center channel comes with rubber non-slip stabilizing feet, new spring-clip wire terminals, and a rear post adjustment for angle optimization. Aside from being a complete source for digital disc media, the HT-SK5 includes additional connectivity for your existing A/V components, such as VCR, cable or satellite box. It provides 2 additional composite A/V inputs for your convenience. The progressive components output also prepares you for the future with progressive video output for digital displays like high-definition TVs (HDTVs) with video component inputs.
