We installed the system 3 weeks ago. The rear wireless speakers work well and are the main reason we purchased this product over others - the design of our family room does not allow wires to cross it. The system also has lots of inputs and outputs -- we wanted to be able to add a VCR for our kids' videos and be able to hook on an external video camera. Both connected well. During set-up, however, some more detailed directions that explain the various connections would be helpful. We wanted to use our own 5 disc DVD/CD player instead of the single DVD player that came with the system and installing this was not as simple as we had hoped. Getting this to work required a couple of trips to Radio Shack and about $45 in additional cables. Hooking up all of the other components, however, was straightforward. Overall, we are very pleased with the product. Those who purchase the system and stick to the pieces they give you will probably be even more pleased.

I received this package thinking that "wireless" meant close to or very few wires. I was let down as soon as the package was opened--I saw many wires! A friend helped me put the system together, and, after we were finished, he told me his ordinary, run-of-the-mill surround sound system had the same number of wires! In fact, he recanted his original statement and said that my Kenwood system had more than his junk-Aiwa! This sytem is not "wireless;" the system does, however, "relocate" the obvious wires that ordinarily stretch across the room. This enables the buyer/listener to avoid the unpleasant sight of cross-wires. On a more pleasant note, this is Kenwood, guys, and the sound is magnificent! I am still pleased with everything even though "wireless" is fudging the truth.
