2.0 out of 5 stars Great concept, but..., April 2, 2008

The Denon S-102 is a great system: It has everything you could want in an attractive, simple, and easy to set-up, package. It plays AM/FM, CDs and DVDs, and the sound is amazing. However, for close to a thousand dollars, one would expect a certain level of quiet in the speakers when switching between functions and low-level DVD watching. Thinking I had a lemon (that made noise), I had a new one shipped to me. But the problem was still there - a 'fluttering' sound coming from the subwoofer that could best be described a combination of distortion and electrical static. Needless to say, I returned both units. I am in the process of looking for a replacement, perhaps of another brand...

I wasn't ready to run wires for a full surround experience just yet. So I was left with trying to find the best option with only two speakers and a subwoofer. This unit went on sale and after careful research I decided to purchase. It was either this or the Bose, and the cheapest Bose unit was $300 more. Sound is excellent, no complaints. The subwoofer is even better, producing tight bass. This is probably the best part of the system. Hook-up was easy through HDMI to watch DVD's. Mostly, I watch movies off the satellite so I used an optical cable from the TV to the Denon unit. Sound is top notch.
However, be warned, even though the claim is simulated surround sound, its not truly surround. Users accustomed to a multiple speaker set-up will be disappointed with this.
Other than that, 5 stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent for a 2.1 system, December 31, 2009

This review is from: Denon S102 DVD Home Theater System (Electronics)

I got this for our smallish family room. It's a decent product and good value at $400.00. I disagree with some other reviewers about how great the surround effect is out of this system and I think it's barely powerful enough to do the job as a stereo. However, considering physics and everything else this system performs as good as all the other systems in this segment and the current price is a steal.

It's very easy to set up and comes with a number of great inputs and outputs. The DVD quality is excellent, as is the build quality of the unit.

If you are expecting this system to get anywhere close to a true surround system (even a cheapo one) I suspect you'll be dissapointed with this. If you value neatness, simplicity out of a very small system that's very easy to use that this system is a great choice.
