...an RCA VCR and this Sony HT. We have had this since we moved into this house a year and a half ago. I can't believe how awesome this sound system is. With four little speakers strategically placed around the living room, it is absolutely incredible! It's just like sitting in a movie theater! My son uses it for his Xbox which makes the games he plays come to life. Movies and TV shows are all the more inviting to watch. My dog even barks at different ...

Advantages: Easy Setup, Great Sound, Great Price
Disadvantages: Not hi-fi, No DVD Player

There aren't many other systems that offer so much for this price. It's has several features including HDMI inputs and MP3 player connectivity. The speakers will 'auto-tune' themselves with a bundled microphone, once you have positioned around the room. The amp will only act as an HDMI switcher though, not a decoder, and the manual doesn't mention this. There are many modes built-in to the amp, which can generate some fantastic sounds when watching ...
...bass produced by the two active-subwoofers. Xbox 360 games also sound semi-realistic with the 6.2 speaker setup, which leads to an immersing in game experience. To utilise the Digital Media MP3 port you'll need to purchase an extra dock. I had one bundle in when I bought mine, and it works quite well with the iPod Classic. All in all this is a great home theater kit, and also looks impressive too. ... Read review

Advantages: Rich Sound Quality, affordable price
Disadvantages: none

...and we settled on the Panasonic SC PT960 system. Was I able to get a good system at a low price? Let's take a look. For my money, the answer is a resounding yes. Ok, some of you folks out there who have very sophisticated tastes and like to build your own systems with custom components can certainly say that there are better setups out there. For someone on a limited budget though, this is a quality system at a price that is probably affordable ...
...working with systems other than Panasonic itself. I had seen this written numerous times, but when I started to set the system up on my Magnavox set, I was easily about to program the correct code in so that one controller controlled everything. So that problem was a myth. Folks, if your a high roller and you want that really expensive system like Kobe Bryant probably has in his game room, pal this is not the system for you. However if you're a ... Read review

Advantages: easy to hook up, very clear, and goes loud.
Disadvantages: none

I purchased this kind of home theater system six weeks ago. It was really easy to install and did not take no long time either. It comes with five speakers and a subwoofer. I installed the speakers all around the room and when I played the tv, the sound was nice and clear. It went up so loud I could hear it all the way through my home. The best part is when I sit down and watched movies on the tv and it brought the sound out to a fantastic volume. ... Read review
