5.0 out of 5 stars Great value!!!, May 2, 2007

I was willing to spend about $800 on a Home Theater System when I found this one during a search. It caught my attention, because it has an iPod dock. Anyway, I thought why not try this out and if it sounds bad, I'll return it. Well, I'm not going to return it, because I'm so impressed with it. The 5.1 sounds really awesome, but you have to buy the speaker brackets for $8.45 @ Wal-Mart, that really made the difference for me. DVD player really upscales it to 1080i and the iPod dock works good too. Bought it @ Best Buy for $189. I'm sure there are better HTS out there, but for this price it is worth to try.

5.0 out of 5 stars exceeded expectations - new stereo system, July 11, 2007

Considering the price, I didn't expect more than a replacement for my worn-out DVD player and some extra speakers. This blew me away. The sound is great - the speakers come with long wires, btw - and the menu options are plentiful. It makes the most of my HDTV-ready television, and I didn't even take notice of the iPod connection, which works like a dream, and charges the iPod too. We also enjoy the AM/FM radio. It's almost a whole rack system - if you're willing to say goodbye to your LPs and cassettes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Only one drawback, October 10, 2007

This is a great surround sound system, and easily fills my 19' x 17' living room with sound. The only drawback is that the speaker wires are integrated right into the speakers, and into custom inserts for the unit. So, to change the length of the wires, you have to splice them instead of just buying new, higher grade wire. It also means you can't upgrade the wire, of course.
