This review is from: KINYO GZ-501 GameZone 5.1 Surround Sound System (Video Game)

I bought this at game stop for about $100. I knew it wasn't going to blow any one away or anything but I thought it would be better than standard noise comming through through the TV. Here is my problem...s... One after I had it hooked uop for about a week the Sub started smoking!!!! I quickly turned off the surround sound and unplugged it and took it apart to see why. I never figured out why everything looked fine so I put it back togather that hasn't happened since??? 2 weak sub it rattles a little bit even before I took it apart. you can't ajust the speaker volume speaker settings. 3 the remote is small and worthless. Every type of remote you have for you tv to your stero to wireless game controllers cross talks to the reciver randomly changing the volume of the surround sound!!!! 4 the blue lights are almost blinding in the dark I had to put a pice of tape over them just to watch movies and play games in the dark 5 you can't change speaker wires since there built into the speakers 6 short rear speaker wires and short front speaker wire also 7 you can't hardly hear the center speaker on 5.1 surround 8 every speaker plugs in to the sub... that being said it is a cheap surround system the front and rear speakers do work well to put out noise the sub and center chanel just suck but if you turn it up to about mid volume it sounds ok ( thats another thing that sucks there is no numbers or any indicator as to how loud the thing is on the remote is a volume up and a volume down and when you press it the center chanel wich has the volume control buttons just flashes blue when your turning it up or down)
