4 out of 5 stars Good HTIB   October 3, 2008
It is a decent HTIB system. It meets almost all my needs. The Audyssey 2EQ system made the setup very easy. The sound is much better than normal HTIB. The round shape speakers look nice.

There is a problems though. The receiver cannot receive pure audio signal, such as music CD, through HDMI if it is connected to TV also via HDMI and TV is not powered on. Using digital co-axis solved the issue. Another couple minor issues are the speaker wire is thin (but OK) and the battery for my DVD remote control was missing in the package.



3 out of 5 stars Receiver had problems   August 30, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

The sound quality is good but the speakers are way too big. I have had a problem with my receiver. I just got it installed yesterday and the best buy agent who installed it said that one of the ports for the speaker is not working. Also the satellite agent was not able to get any reception from the HDMI. So I am waiting to see if this too is a problem with the receiver. I plan to call amazon to replace the receiver.


4 out of 5 stars Great product, not so good overall experience   August 29, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I read the other amazon reviews for this product, and I agree on most, specially those that rate it between 4 and 5 stars. My only gripe is that when I received it and installed it, after two weeks of enjoyment it stopped working; concerned, I troubleshoot and went online to see if other people had experienced the same problems I had (the system stopped sending HDMI image and sound to the TV, from HDMI input signals), and it resulted no solution existed rather than send it back to the original seller or to Onkyo themselves; I had to go through the (awesomely simple) amazon returns process, and after receiving the replacement, and setting it up, everything worked perfectly and I'm the happy owner of this great system.

I know it's not a high-end system, but for the budget I decided to spend in a HTIB system, and at the time of purchase, few options are better than this. I'm very satisfied with the functionalities, it's very future-proof and I happily recommend it to anyone interested.



4 out of 5 stars Very Pleased   August 5, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Well this is my second surround system. First was a cheap Realistic to learn from. I went to the brick and mortar stores to listen to a bunch, then I settled on this Onkyo. Every thing was pretty simple, some people had trouble with the speaker mounting, I did not. I seen one review where a guy said that you have crank the power up to far to hear the speakers, well don't know what they are talking about. The only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is that when you spend this kind of money I just think they could give you 5 dollars more worth of wire. I bought a spool of 14 gauge wire and I'm happy I did. his system is great for the non techy home owner, I love it.


5 out of 5 stars All you need to start your own HD setup   August 1, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

You get what they tell you it is, a system that is capable of HD quality sound. What more could you ask for at this price. The speakers it comes with do well enough for a small to mid size room any bigger and you may need to upgrade several of the speakers to achieve quality sound. Other than that, its a good buy.
