Después de buscar un buen sistema de Teatro en Casa, que no me costara una fortuna y trajera todo lo necesario, este sistema de RCA fue el más indicado en el papel y después de tenerlo por 6 meses puedo decir que es más que indicado ya funcionando, tanto para películas como para música.
Al principio tuve un poco de temor por la marca (RCA, no es fuerte en hi-fi, no?), pero la calidad es muy buena, no ha fallado ni un momento desde que lo instalé y además trae todo lo necesario para conectar los equipos.
El receptor tiene más que suficiente potencia y tienen un nivel de distorsión muy bajo por lo que es muy bueno para música. El decodificador DTS es muy bueno, definitivamente suena mejor que el Dolby 5.1 y este receptor lo maneja muy bien (si que se sentirá en el cine). Otro punto importante es la cantidad de entradas que tiene, digitales ópticas y coaxiales, RCA de audio y vídeo y de S-vídeo, y que la asignación de cada una a los equipos que le conecta es muy fácil.
Como otros han mencionado, el Subwoofer podría ser mejor, se siente un poco corto de aire a altos niveles de volumen, pero éste se puede cambiar por otro pasivo (el receptor tiene el amplificador de 200 watts, por lo que un subwoofer mejor los aprovecharía) o ponerle otro amplificado, pues tiene una salida extra. Los parlantes frontales no son del todo buenos tampoco, pues siento que colorean mucho las frecuencias altas. Por ello los cambié por mis Panasonic que tenía de mi equipo anterior y el equipo suena mejor (estos parlantes son más grandes). Debo dejar claro, sin embargo, que el equipo suena muy bien con los parlantes originales.
La única queja real que tengo con este sistema es por el control remoto, no tiene códigos para DVD’s y no maneja bien los aparatos a los que si se les asigna código. Prácticamente lo uso solo para el receptor.
Definitivamente recomiendo el sistema para quien quiera gozar de la música o de los soundtracks de película.

I purchased a RCA RT2500 and got it together. It seems to work fine. However the RCA customer service Department can’t seem to find the remote codes for ECHOSTAR satellites and a DAEWOO DVD player. Without this the remote features are about worthless. A good product but not very complete when this small of an item can’t be provided.
I’ve worked with RCA Engineers for 25 years and this should be a small problem for them. Why Customer Service can’t provide two simple codes is questionable.

Look, right now I’m listening to my iTouch through Monster RCA cables hooked to the back of this receiver, which I have personally owned for about 4 years, and which I bought used for 100.00 on craigslist.
This is a great addition to any media center, it’s got all kinds of hookups, except HDMI or Hi-Def, but it decodes DTS and the Pro-Logic is as excellent as a lot of much higher priced systems during Dolby 5.1 playback.
In other words, if you’re watching a TV show presented in Pro-Logic surround (as 99% of them are), or listening to an iPod, for example, it’s like listening to a fully surround encoded DVD in 6 channels.
It’s called downmixing, and don’t worry about that if you’re not a techie kind of person…ladies?
My point is, I know Home Theater, I live in a one bedroom loft apartment with two televisions, and I have full six-speaker setups in both rooms, it’s totally absurd how much I insist on having a great setup everywhere.
I was shocked to learn this unit is only 300 Watts total power. I have a 1,000 Watt system downstairs ( A Panasonic something, the one with the wireless tallboy speakers and stuff and iPod dock, but I digress), and this baby gives it a run for it’s money.
On a side note, it SAYS powered sub, but that’s a flat out lie.
It has an INPUT for RCA powered sub, but my advice is to get that powered sub (one you plug in), and hook up the wooden one it comes with, TOO.
It doesn’t have those crappy little plastic plugs, the idiot-proof color coded ones, so you can go buy a heavier, higher quality speaker wire, which you WILL if you have any sense.
I smoke a lot, and this thing is getting filthy but it doesn’t seem to care.
I have cats that jump on and off of it, shed on it, and it doesn’t give a rats ass, it just keeps working.
End of story: Buy this, and don’t listen to the naysayers.
If you have questions about it, go ahead and ask me.
