5.0 out of 5 stars Cheap, great Bass, April 26, 2009

For such an economy unit, this system is really worth every penny. The bass is really good if you set it to "powerful" and eq everything properly. The sound is a lot bigger than the speakers it comes out of. Sound clarity is pretty good when watching movies, and when blasting music the audio never clips. A great buy! don't listen to what other people say if you know how to set it up it's a really good, cheap set of speakers.

3.0 out of 5 stars I returned mine and it was working!, January 22, 2009

It get 3 stars because the DVD player did work ok. This system did perform as an amp very well. It was minimally louder than the rear speakers on my Samsung LCD tv. I never heard any bass until I put my ear right next to the subwoofer with the volume maxed out. My wife thought it was only a DVD player and not even an amp.

As an economy unit, I expected minimal audio quality. I needed a little volume. This unit has weak audio so it was hard to rate the quality. If you need a DVD player to eject fast, do not buy this one. I got at Walmart for under $100. Since DVD players with HDMI out are around $50, this is worth about $60. It is nice that the rear surround speakers include some decently long wires. However, after using for 2 days, I took mine back. I wanted an economy system, but the supposed 200 watts of power are poorly distributed on this unit. You need less power to rear. This 5.1 system gives equal power to all 5, and obviously not enough to the 0.1 (sub).

The box did not provide enough specifications. I hate to be so critical. It OK for a small cheap player, but should not even be in the "Home Theater" category of electronics.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT "compatible with [ALL] mass storage class (MSC) mp3 players", May 23, 2009

Contrary to representation made in description ["most" in instruction manual], have not been able to make this system work with Sansa MP3 players (Express and m series) while in designated mode. This has been very disappointing.
