Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

This complete home theater system includes a slim-design silver DVD player with multi-angle and zoom functions, a silver 100 watts x 5 slim-design receiver with Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Pro Logic decoding, as well as five matching satellite speakers and an 8-inch, 100-watt subwoofer. The DSTP570 plays not only DVD and CD, it also plays CD-R and CD-RW recordable formats, SVCD, VCD, and MP3 CDs. Don't let its slim design fool you--it's packed with exciting features like 3-D Phonic simulated surround sound, variable and slow search, zoom, resume, and both digest and strobe play. A coaxial digital-audio output passes Dolby Digital and DTS surround signals, which are decoded in the matching receiver.

The RX-5022SL audio/video control receiver pounds out 100 watts x 5 (into 8 ohms, at 1 kHz with no more than 0.8 percent THD; stereo mode sees 100 watts from 40 to 20,000 Hz). Fully discrete output devices ensure optimal amplifier sound. Dolby Digital and DTS decoders are built-in, including Dolby Pro Logic II with full 5.1-channel digital processing for stereo sources. The unit offers bass and treble controls, four audio inputs, one assignable coaxial digital-audio input, one assignable optical digital-audio input, 15 AM and 30 FM station memory, and a multibrand audio-video remote control.

The speakers consist of five silver, magnetically shielded satellite speakers (front, center, and surround) with a frequency response of 200 to 16,000 Hz. The silver, eight-inch slot-loaded powered polycone subwoofer boasts a 100-watt amplifier, an anti-clipping circuit, a variable volume control, a fixed-frequency low-pass filter optimized for the satellite speakers, and a single RCA line-level audio input. The sub's performance extends to an earth-shaking 33 Hz. Color-coded speaker wire is included for all speakers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value on a Small Budget, November 30, 2002

After a little dd, I finally decided to purchase this system. Boy am I happy I did. The sound quality is incredible, and even though I am unable to put the rear speakers behind for the full surround sound experience, I am quite pleased with what this system is capable of. There are numerous inputs so you can hook-up your vcr, dvd, playstation, gamecube, etc. There is nothing like playing Grand Theft Auto and actually feeling each bullet from the subwoofer. With the click of a button, I can change the receiver from my shoot-em-up game to a nice evening of classical music. When you can sit there and actually hear the faint "ding" of the triangle in the background, you know you have a great sound system.

Items to note:
1) This system comes with a dvd player.

2) The subwoofer is fairly large, but on many other systems this is the case. It requires a separate power source.

3) The dvd player plays dvd's (of course), cd's, and mp3's.

4) The setup is fairly easy. There are different colors of cable wires for the rear speakers, the front speakers, and the center speaker.

5) There are two remotes (one for the dvd player, and one for the receiver)

This review is from: JVC DSTP570 DVD Home Theater System (Silver) (Electronics)

In an earlier review I related a problem with the subwoofer that I have resolved myself after I got to know the system a little better. The subwoofer was cutting out. I thought it was because it was defective and a protection circuit was kicking in but I was wrong. Turns out that since the subwoofer is always pluged in to a seperate circuit than the reciever, it shuts itself off when it is not recieving a signal. I now have the subwoofer turned way up on the reciever to try to keep the signal strong enough during the quieter parts of the movie so it won't inadvertantly cut out. When I am listening to anything other than music CDs and DVDs it still cuts out depending on the input. It happens mostly when there is dialogue and no music to provide a sufficient bass output from the reciever. A little annoying but I can live with it.

Three days of use and I am sending the subwoofer in to be repaired. It was a great sounding system while it lasted. I did not abuse the subwoofer. I use it in a small room and at most played the volume at 35 on a scale of 1 - 50. I promise to come back and award more stars if the service is good. If the service is bad I can guarentee that you'll hear back from me.
