Customer Reviews

Good but not perfect
I bought this having read plenty of reviews both on the net and in magazines for decent quality home cinema systems for under £300. In pretty much everything I read this came out way above the competition.

Having now used it for approx 3 months I can understand why.

Pros: Looks great; classy and understated. Sound quality is tremendous. Sub-woofer brings everything to life. Good range of input and output sockets - I've got my Sky+ box plugged in via an optical audio cable and my Xbox plugged in via the component audio. I use the HDMI output to my HDTV to take advantage of the upscaling the system does to normal DVDs.

Cons: Biggest one for me is the fan noise. I'm not a techie so I don't know if this is now standard on modern systems but I saw no mention of the fan noise on anything I read and when the volume is turned down it is clearly noticeable. For anyone who has an Xbox360, it's not quite that loud but not far off. Top loading DVD is a bit of a pain - I didn't realise this until I bought it and it doesn't fit on the stand I'd planned it to as a result.

Overall summary: Based on everything I've seen I think the overall package for the price is very good. It's not perfect, but for less than £300 it's pretty good.

Excellent system that brings your dvd's to LIFE!!!!!
Amazing!!! We brought the Samsung 40" Gloss Black television for the super-stylish looks. After seeing this system in 2.1 in Currys and Comet for [...]i was very shocked to find the 5.1 version at such a good price on Amazon, i have searched elsewhere for a price but found that i kept coming back to Amazon.

The first test i did was with Jurassic Park, this system brought the Dvd to life, this is no exageration! The bass that the sub throws out is brilliant, couldnt fault this system!!!

Its looks good when you wall mount your plasma tv with this dvd player on a black glass stand below...(also remember this is a top loading dvd player so you will either need a special stand (they do these in comet/currys and perhaps online at dixons, or you should alow for the dvd player to sit under the television).

Stunning sound, great looks !
After searching high and low for a reasonably priced home theatre system to compliment my recently new Samsung 40" TV I struck gold with this. The sound is simply fantastic, great bass ( keep having to turn it down so neighbours don't complain). Easy to set up and looks great in samsung's piano black. Would highly recommend this to anyone hesitating on purchasing, just buy it..sit back..enjoy and immerse yourself.
