I would recommend this product to anyone who is in the market for an awesome stereo for under $300. It packs a huge punch and sounds amazing. The sub woofer shakes my whole room in movies, the 5.1 surround is awesome, and the speakers look good, sound good, and don’t take up too much room. I had never heard of Onkyo, but I definitely would buy their stuff again.

I just picked this sytem up yesterday at Fry's Electronics for $153.00. It was supposed to be on sale for $191.00, I'm not going to argue with an additional $38.00 savings.

Set-up was a breeze and it sounds great. I hooked it up differently than they instructed for using a: Cable Box, DVD Player and a TV. As I have HDMI cables from my Cable Box and DVD Player to my Plasma TV. This is how my Plasma TV said to connect (RCA Cables from The Home Theatre OUT Connections)

You can't beat the sound for $153.00 !!! Rating: 5 / 5

I returned this item for a full refund including shipping. Amazon is great about returns and for that I give Amazon high marks. The subwoofer to this stereo was not powered so the bass was terrible. The speakers weren’t all that great either. I would recommend this system to a buyer who is looking for low to mid quality sound but if you are into bass and a sound that punches, this system is not for you. I do not recommend this item because for the price you pay the features and sound are just not worth it, sorry.

I ordered this item to replace my aging stereo. I’m returning it. The sound is boomy. It is almost like listening to music with your head in a plastic garbage can. I tried all the sound mode/bass/treble/individual speaker volume settings and couldn’t fix it (some extreme EQ settings in Itunes made it tolerable – but by no means good). I was going to give it a reasonable try (perhaps I just had to get used to surround sound), but it was actually painful, even at low volume levels. I can see why this set would be boomy, it’s a very powerful amplifier driving some very lightweight plastic speakers (so lightweight I was able to hang them on the wall with picture hook nails).

Some movies (such Master and Commander with the 5.1 sound track) sounded spectacular, but most music didn’t.

I could not have the opportunity to see how the system works, as it was a wedding present that i sent to a friend. However, my friend commented that so far it has been working excellent providing her full satisfaction upon such product.
