Product Description

Product Description

JBL has stepped out of the box to bring you a great alternative to the usual home-theater-in-a-box compromise. The Cinema ProPack 600 is a complete system of carefully matched audio/video components. You get a five-disc DVD/CD changer, an A/V receiver with Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital, DTS and MP3 decoding, and a six-piece speaker system with four satellites, a matched center channel speaker, and a high-impact powered subwoofer.And, the receiver includes two of the JBL's advanced digital processing algorithms: Logic 7, for enhancing standard surround modes and creating natural multichannel sound from two-channel sources, and VMAx, for convincing surround sound from just two speakers. You won't believe the performance and features you get for the price. There just isn't a better home theater value. No hassle, no compromise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional value - Excellent sound, January 3, 2002

By A Customer

If you want to jump into home theater in one simple purchase, this is the system for you. The separate components work beautifully together and also allow for future upgrades should you ever choose. But it's unlikely that you'll outgrow this package anytime soon. It packs a whooping 600Watts...5x100W for the satellite speakers and a 100W powered subwoofer that's absolutely potent! It fills a large room very well (16'x16'), with power to spare. (It's all about the speaker placement.) It plays well loudly, but moderate levels sound the best. The DVD/CD player holds five disks and offers component hook ups. (If available on your television.) The box only includes the composite video cable however. Buying a component cable will set you back another 50 dollars, but worth the price. The DVD player produces crisp pictures and includes plenty of bells and whistles. The receiver has twelve preset surround sound modes including DTS/Dolby Digital/Pro Logic/Logic 7/etc. Plays CD/CD-RW/VCD/DVD, but not CD-R/MP3. Delay capabilities and adjustable output levels allow you to adjust for varying speaker placements within the room. Speaking of speakers, these little satellites are virtually invisible...only 4.5 inches in height. But paired with the subwoofer, they produce excellent sound. The drawbacks? The remote can be confusing and uncomfortable for big hands to handle and the separate components are huge. (Roughly 17Wx17Dx12H when stacked.) Word of advice...check out JBL's website for a list of their licensed internet dealers and check out their prices first. A product warranty won't be honored if you purchase any JBL product from an unlicensed distributor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the Best, April 9, 2002

By	"michaelw8blue" (Morongo Valley, California United States) - See all my reviews

Dont walk,run to buy this system.Will rival many audiophile high end Stereos. Worth the price for the tuner alone. Dollar for Dollar superior to Bose. Professional design with unique extra features. No audible distortionat high volumes. I beleive this is the most powerful and clean consumer amp. Ive ever heard. JBL supplies half of all recording studios. No better THIB,not by a long shot. Im hearing things on old analog recordings,unheard before. Color coded wiring and inputs make this the easiest system to assemble to date. Quite frankly, JBL didnt "dumbdown" for the home theatre market. The solid, Heavy constructionmakes this a keeper for many years.You can feel confident its equally a stereo and Home Theatre system...But dont tell JBL. Another nice thing is the absence of stupid,glitzy featuresthat never get used,and only distractfrom the real issue. Power. 500 wattsAmazing System.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Heck Of A System!, August 1, 2001

By A Customer

This is the perfect system it stands up with Bose if not better. Clear sound no distortion. Highs, Mids, and Lows; JBL has it covered with this system and includes everything you need for setup including Wall hanging mounts.
