This is an excellent sound system for the price, it features more inputs than Panasonic's or Samsung's similar offerings, it has every decoder you would expect with a DVD based system, and it has a more polished and sleeker look than others at this price range. I bought this to hook up to my computer (optical or coaxial can be used for digital input).

I purchased the HDX587WC since it comes with a wireless stereo in addition to what's in the HDX585. The speakers themselves are identical in either the HDX585 or HDX587WC but if you could use a wireless stereo to place in another room that ouputs whatever is playing on the main system (very nice for music) then go with the 587WC, the price difference between the sets is minimal.

This system is very bass heavy at default settings, I do like bass but in comparison to my other surround sound systems the bass gives the audio a very "muddy" sound effectively drowning out much of the upper-mid range frequencies. This can be fixed in the menu by adjusting the bass (for me to the minimum) The speakers levels can be adjusted slightly to compensate for your room size and speaker positions but the amount these settings can be tweaked is minimal.

If this is your first experience with a 5.1 audio system the default bass settings may not bother you at all, but if you are a semi-audiophile like me who has experience with other setups you will be surprised how poorly the subwoofer is tuned in relation with the rest of the system.

Overall, once the sub is tamed this system is a clear winner for price/performance in the $300-$400 range.

i had this system for a wail now and all i can say is i am impress. is ease to use the sound quality is not the best but is ok for the price.i recommended this product to anyone who is looking for a good system for playing stander dvd listening to the radio and not let`s forget the ipod dock..
