5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent system at an even better price, January 4, 2001

By	John Ingle (Fresno, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This is a great system at the price and supplies more than enough power for throwing some great house parties. Actually this system has a lot going for it besides price and power. Setup of the reciever was actually quite easy and I have never even attempted setting up anything like this before. All of the speakers have their own colored coating wires and tabs so you can't go wrong there. The set comes with a quick start poster and a seperate instruction manual for each individual Kenwood component.

However I did run into some trouble setting up all my other components...i.e. game platforms, DVD, and VCR...but Kenwood tech support walked me through the whole process and even sent me some tech hints to my e-mail address.

I guess the only bad thing about the system is the size of the remote. The darn thing is TINY and the buttons are really TINY so I am always pressing the wrong button but if you have small hands then it shouldn't be that much of a problem. Oh a couple of other things one should look for before purchasing. Make sure the reciever has an S-video connection because the VR-407 and the V7030D are the only two recievers that have the S-video jacks. And the last thing is that the length of the speaker wire for the sattelite speakers may be too short for optimal place settings. Other than these couple minor gripes this system is a great buy and produces excellent sound. My dad has had his Kenwood system for over 20 years hopefully I can be as lucky as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Deal at a Great Price, January 26, 2001

By	"swan99" (Smyrna, TN United States) - See all my reviews

Fantastic system at a low price considering what all you get for your money. Set-up is a snap with easy to use Connect Guide. Its able to pump out a lot of sound and with good component devices (DVD, CD Player, etc.), the sound will blow you away. The remote could be a little easier to use and the speaker wire that comes with it is a little skimpy, but overall you'll get the proverbial bang for your buck out of this system.
