Sleek, simple, and small, the Klipsch CS-500 2.1 home theater system with DVD puts the ultimate cinema experience in your living room with fewer wires and components. Dolby(R) Virtual Speaker technology, lets this amazing little setup deliver the full effect of a large, 5.1 home theater system with just two satellites, a subwoofer, and an A/V center. Available in a black finish that fits easily into any décor, the CS-500 gives you home theater speakers and subwoofer in one easy-to-install package. Through Klipsch Tractrix(R) Horn technology, this compact home theater system delivers clear, lifelike sound. It also produces more output using less energy. The down-firing sub utilizes a powerful 6.5" woofer for booming lows and crisp dialogue. Due to its compact size, it can easily be hidden away and still deliver dramatic low-end effects.

The Klipsch CS-500 2.1 home theater system features a built-in Class D amplifier that distributes 35 watts of power to each satellite and 100 watts of power to the subwoofer. It includes Dolby(R) Virtual Speaker technology, along with a progressive scan DVD/CD player, AM/FM tuner, and three auxiliary inputs. High-definition signals can be passed through a component output and all auxiliary input connections are combined into a single connection to the TV. An easy-to-use universal IR remote control directs all system functions, as well as those of the TV and other entertainment devices. The CS-500 can be set up and operating in as little as 10 minutes. A step-by-step set up guide is included to walk you through the simple process.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good sound, DVD player quit working in 90 days, April 5, 2009

By	Mark Graban "www.leanblog.org, www.leanhospit... (Keller TX and Cambridge, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The sound from this system and easy connectivity were a big plus. 2.1 sound was good, solid base and good spoken word sound for movies/TV.

Unfortunately, the DVD player starting conking out and wouldn't play DVD's without skipping or pixelation after about 90 days. Trying to get an exchange through Klipsch or Amazon. The discs that were problematic on this unit played fine on another DVD player.

I've learned a lesson that it might be better to buy big, heavy items like this through a local store that might be easier in terms of exchange, especially when it quickly became defective.

UPDATE 4/12/09 - although amazon was a pain, Klipsch handled the situation very well, offering an exchange and even upgrading to the next model up.
