Customer Reviews

Sonosound Surround
I went for this system as an alternative to a 5.1 surround speaker set up, as I didn't want to run wires all around the room to the rear satellites. The Philips Sonosound system promised to recreate a surround experience, and while it won't feel like there are bullets whizzing past your ears or cars crashing behind you, it doesn't disappoint.

Straight out of the box it took 5 minutes to get up and running, and all the separate components look as stylish as they would on a system for twice the price. Good connectivity options, including a 3.5mm jack line-in port for a portable player and the cable is included in the box. Optical audio input would've been nice though for compatibility with Sky or Virgin set top boxes, but a converter soon sorts that out.

The picture quality when upscaling DVDs in fantastic and the speakers do a great job in throwing the sound around the room in conjunction with the action on the screen.

No problems so far with it reading discs in the slot loading drive and I can highly recommend it as a simple but very effective home cinema solution.

superb sound without the wires
well i bought this as my old 5;1 was taking up to much space, the sound from this is mind blowing and it looks good.this is the cheapest you can buy one well known seller on the web has it on special offer at £329.

What a simple and outstanding machine
Having never had a home cinema system before, I was a bit daunted by the idea. Was recommended this unit and it has one of the best sounds I have heard from a TV home cinema system. Very easy to set up and use, the upscale of normal (non HD) disks is really impressive. All in all if you want supberb sound very few wires and a machine that is easy to use look nno further
