I just purchased this to use as a sound system for my living room. I wanted something unobtrusive with decent sound and this fits the bill nicely. The I pod dock is a nice feature. It sounds better the louder it is played. I have a large living room with vaulted ceiling and it fills up the space nicely. The subwoofer is nice but I wish it was wireless. Otherwise it is a great little unit. I don't use it as a home theater so I can't comment on that

My husband bought this product through Amazon for Christmas. Stopped working by Easter!! I was excited when we received this product. No more wires!(well, at least a great reduction of wires) It took him a few hours and a couple of calls to Phillips, but we were up and running. I loved having the Ipod docking station the most. Then a couple months later, the DVD stopped working. Next, my remote, then finally the Ipod input went out! We spoke with Phillips several times and finally sent it into a repair shop they recommended. The repair shop sat on it without doing anything for two months ("we are back logged"). OK, well it's summertime, so we can live without it for a little longer. We finally get a call from them, and it can't be fixed! AND Phillips has no replacement for it! So here it is four months later, NO soundbar, NO refund yet and only rewarded with MAJOR blow offs from Phillips. Phiilips has four other home theater systems on their website, but I was told they are out of stock on all of them and they didnt know if they would ever get any in. Phillps rep left a voicemail two days ago and said "ship us our product back and when "we" receive it, we will send you a refund in 4-6 weeks!" WHAT A CROCK!!! No other solutions, nor any form of an appology. I would have be happy to puchase another product with them, but not now. Their reps are rude! This company must be independently wealthy, because they seem not to care if they have any returning customers. My advise: STAY AWAY FROM ALL PHILLIPS PRODUCTS!

The sound is actually great and at the price I paid would have been a good value if everything worked. The remote will not turn on the system. Once you manually turn on the remote it works and will turn off the system. I went to an electronics store and found that the remote on the demo model will not turn their system on either. The response from the manufactures was quick but they offered no solution that worked and it came down to either send it to a repair shop or return it.
