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.
