...50 (sound level) at most times (maxes at 70). So if you wanna crank it, you don't have much more room at the top. The sub is fairly tight bass, but it's probably pretty average for your home-in-a-box system, it's self powered which is good, and for the most part does a pretty decent job. More of a sound enthusiast would think it's not that great and want to purchase another sub, i would imagine. For 5.1 movies and digital tv, it's great. ... Read review

...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: Inexpensive, easy to use, powerful
Disadvantages: Needs more audio range, subwoofer weak

This system was my first experience with home surround sound. I paid $179 at Circuit City and was very impressed that it came with the speakers and all. It does not have an integrated DVD player like most of the units in that price range and that was a big reason I purchased this unit. It comes with optical outs on the unit, a coax plug-in and multiple s-video plug-ins. It really surprised that it had optical outs because most units cost much more ...
...unit, it doesn't work very well with other equipment. It seems to be pretty powerful for an inexpensive system and I have switched out the speakers with bookshelf speakers for a little more audio range. The sub-woofer leaves a lot to be desired but that can be changed out pretty easily. You can change the surround mode to various themes like arena, theater, dance etc..., and there is a pretty noticable difference between the different modes. I am ... Read review

I love the fact that it was not expensive at all and plays really good. It came with a simple to use remote control as ... Read review
