This review is from: Criterion Home Theater System with DVD Player (T229) (Electronics)

You don't get nearly what you pay for. Nothing on this is as good as you would expect. None of the bells and whistles this home theater in a box (htib) promises matter when it can't output sound correctly. If you want to just watch TV then you won't notice any big problems, but if you put in a dvd, listen to the radio, put in a cd, etc. then you will be annoyed. The speakers give off some kind of rumbling that sounds almost like thunder. At first I thought it might just be the speakers, but I hooked up some other speakers, that to this day work fine with any other audio system, and the same problems occurred. If you think I might just be a ranting idiot. Maybe you can go to Criterion's website to get more info. Good luck finding it though. I even tried their parent company Tonic, Inc. Good luck getting anywhere there either. I then tried the old-fashioned telephone approach. Not only is no phone number listed anywhere in their manual, but I even called Circuit City, thinking that they might want to take responsibility for selling such a horrible product, but they couldn't even find the companies number in their database. This htib is such a piece that someone would have to pay me use it.
