This is a good product for the price, however the first one that we received did not work properly. The music/sound effects came through really loud and the dialogue came through soft. It was impossible to get a balance that would allow us to watch a DVD. The sound and picture also didn't match up while using the DVD player. We were able to return it, and the second one works much better. It's not a $500 system, but then again, we didn't pay for a $500 system. It also looks nicer than the picture shows here.
I also remembered Audiovox as a good brand, and I must say that so far, I have not been disappointed. I have had this unit for about 2 weeks and have had none of the troubles that other people mentioned in their reviews. The fan motor is very quiet(can hardly hear it run), it plays more than loud enough for my taste(what was it that other reviewer said about getting old??). Overall I am quite satisfied with this product, a very good product for the money!
I got this piece of junk as a gift from my company on my 15 year anniversary, the picture quality is BAD and the sound is wayyyyy tooo awfulllll. I got so mad at myself for not choosing something else, my 20 year old t.v. has better sound and picture quality than this home theater.I had tried to returned but they don't want it back, so I took this unit to my back yard, then I got my sledge hammer and wow, what a stress relief, I turn this junk into pieces and then to the trash can. that was the best part.
this system is so bad that i just turned it off not even 5 mins into the movie i was watching..the sound was terrible.the bass you couldnt even hear it dont ever even think about buying this Poor Interface, Poor Sound Quality, Unattractive Design
I have not had a problem but only had it a short time thus far. Guess we're old because I don't need a cd player loud enough to beat the neighbors. lol No humming etc... others are talking about yet. Sounds great with "in stereo" movies. Little low volume on ones that aren't. So far it's a decent system for watching movies and playing cd's on - esp. for the money. If your a kid who wants a system that will blow your drums out then buy something else. If you want a decent and inexpensive system that plays movies and cd's well then it's a good deal. We may try 2 different speakers later for the front.
