Okay system, but get a better one if you can afford it
I bought this system before I upgraded our home theater as a way to get some extra mileage out of our old 27" CRT Sony. Sound output is nice, and the iPod dock is a bonus. It will also play some digital files right off a thumb drive from the USB port on the front of the unit. The video output is nice, and good enough, I think, to postpone the need to upgrade to a Blu-Ray player just yet. Set-up was a breeze, and you can install the speakers to a wall without help pretty easily. Video output .... Read more

Cheap system, clumsy interface - bare bones
If all you want to do is use the most basic features of this unit - some sound, and a DVD player, it's alright - a good value at the $199 I paid in Best Buy about 18 months ago. Anthing beyond that and it's a piece of junk.

1. The user interface is so slow as to be not interactive. You have to wait and wait between commands, so it's frustrating, and not intuitive.

2. It seems like an eternity from power up to TV sound.

3. The iPod dock video out feature j .... Read more

Never been happier
I ordered a new TV and this surround sound system. The surround sound part i wasn't so worried about so I put it away. What a mistake! Our dvd player went out so i pulled out the surround system and took a few mins to plug it all in and kazam. it was awesome! Great sound, great bass. And all of the media options are great. I loaded up a flash drive with music and listen to music that way. Why mess with a cd? The ipod dock is great!! The DVD player and sound are great and I would've pai .... Read more

you either love it or dont, I DONT
Last November I bought this system for my husband for his birthday. After getting it home, and setting it up, it did NOT work. Like others, it did not recognize a disk. I took it back down, returned it, bought another one, it worked. For about 6 months of extremely occasional use. Maybe 6 times. Now it does not work. Now it skips every 10-15 seconds through movies. So.....we called Philips, since it was still under warranty. They sent us a new one. It does NOT work. NOW we have to call t .... Read more

You get what you pay for
On the positive side, this system is pretty good for the price and it comes with a one-year warranty. The DVD unit is slow to respond to selections made with the remote and even pressing the DVD open/close button results in an extended wait. As far as sound, depending on the source, occasionally a ringing resonance is generated which can only be partially eliminated by reducing the volume. My unit quit working after less than 90-days of occasional use. It was replaced under warranty with a we .... Read more
