Performance

Pioneer HTS-GS1

Aesthetically matches your Xbox 360; compact design; included remote also controls your game console; Pioneer's auto setup is a breeze; virtual surround option lets all speakers sit up front.

The sound is subpar for a home theater in a box at this price; no video inputs.

The HTS-GS1 will match your Xbox 360 and rock out on games, but there are better packages for your money.

Pioneer HTS-GS1 Speaker System for Xbox 360

As I mentioned earlier, you can stack the surrounds on top of the front satellites. Then you can rotate them to aim the sound by lining up the small arrows printed on the rear of their compact plastic cabinets to reflect off the walls and the ceiling....

Great product

This surround sound unit is incredible. It sounds like a $500 setup! The dual optical inputs are a plus, that way you can plug in your 360 and another device maybe a cable box. Over all it sounds great, maybe some distortion when deep bass comes in,...

Good value

If your sound card only has analog surround sound output, this is not for you! It has 2 optical inputs, 1 coaxal digital input, 1 stero input, (and I think) has 1 input for DVD player which is the regular RCA style. I hooked this up to my optical...
