1.0 out of 5 stars The worst consumer electronics product I have ever bought, March 24, 2003

This review is from: KLH HA7000 160-Watt Home Theater System with DVD (Electronics)

The main unit had a slick, slim design. The speakers were solid looking. All the needed cables were included, and everything was color coded and labeled. Then I turned it on.

First, whenever power was applied, or mode (disc/tuner/aux) changed, a disturbingly loud "klunk" noise was made. The unit always powers up in disc mode, and will not respond for several seconds while it tries to load a disc. Settings (such as volume) are often lost or different when changing between modes. Many functions are not available in all modes. For example, "Mute" only works when playing a disc. The equalizer only applied to audio CDs. And so on.

I found I had to wait one or two seconds after pressing a button before the unit responded. If I pressed additional buttons before the unit was ready, it sometimes did not respond, or did the wrong thing.

Sometimes, while changing between modes (e.g., from radio tuner to aux in), the disc tray would eject an inch or so out of the unit, and then stop. This is especially ironic given that the eject button does not function unless you are in disc mode.

Audio and video artifacts (pops, clicks, on-screen flashes, etc.) occurred when navigating DVD menus.

Worst of all, the unit locked up several times playing DVDs. The picture would corrupt, then everything would just stop. I had to unplug the unit, and then plug it back in, to get it to respond again. This happened on several different DVDs, including a brand-new, just-opened disc.

I returned the unit to the store. I was not expecting much, but this model failed to meet even basic expectations.
