4.0 out of 5 stars Almost...., February 28, 2009
Looks and sounds good, people notice it. It's hefty so be sure you have a secure place to put it. Missing HDMI port (ouch), apparently only supports FAT file format for USB drives/keys. On mine, the plastic covering the optical and s-video ports was mis-aligned so I had to trim them to get the cables to go in. USB and DVD share output, so you have to umplug USB to use the DVD.

2.0 out of 5 stars Cheap Sounding. No optical in or HDMI out, September 12, 2009
By brianr0131 "Brian" (Cherry Hill, NJ) - See all my reviews
I don't write many reviews but the sound quality, or lack thereof on this unit made me want to let others know about it. Because, if space is an issue and you don't feel like running a bunch of wires, the price tag on this unit seems appealing. Let me just say that you get what you pay for.

I would say the sound quality is about that of a decent set of computer speakers. And the "Sub" that is integrated is pretty sorry as well. The DVD player does not upscale and the inputs are a joke. All it has is one set of analog rca jacks for input. So, basically you have to run everything through your TV and out to this unit. Some of the newer TVs don't even have rca audio outs on them.

I can't speak to the DVD playback because the sound was so disappointing that I unhooked the unit after less than 5 minutes. The audio on my Panasonic Plasma TH-50PX600U literally blows this thing away. Now, I do understand that the audio and "Sub" built into my panny are far superior to the speaker systems in many flat panels so I am not suggesting that any flat panel will sound a lot better than this unit. But, what I am saying is that you are most likely better off IMO looking for a higher quality unit. Your new flat panel will likely last 10-15 years, I highly doubt this thing would last 5.

I wouldn't reccomend this to anyone, however someone on a really tight budget that has a flat panel with really bad speakers could use this product and get some functionality out of it provided that don't have great hearing and they aren't picky at all.

Look for a better soundbar, this is not the "Deal" it appears to be.

Product works fine. The remote does not work. But for the price $100 vs $300 for a comparable system it was a great purchase.
