Advantages: No wires, design
Disadvantages: No Dolby

...purchased this product in a Sony centre. I have to say it was most definetly not a dissapointing purchase, as I was really impressed with the Design and the intense ambience which it provides throught the 6 radio enhanced speakers. A drawback however was the lack of a Dolby surround system. The wireless speakers were not dissapointing, but I found that they sounded funny when watching TV channels. The picture however for DVD's was stunning. It took ...
...fact that their were no messy wires, really helped keep my living room tidy. All in all, it was an expensive product and something I had been saving up for, but it was within reason of price and it justified its price tag. Anybody who is looking to buy an audio home system would do well to save the extra money and wait to buy this one. ... Read review

Advantages: Great Value for a Brand Name
Disadvantages: No infra-red speakers

This is a great entry level home cinema system for less than £150. I bought this about 12 months ago from Richer Sounds during one of their sales. It's very easy to install as all the wires are colour coded so even a novice will understand what to do. The instructions are pretty self-explanatory so within 30 minutes you should have it ready to go. The only down-side with non infra-red systems like this is the fact there's lots of wires.

...to the DVD player. As you can imagine the amount of wire behind your TV will build up. The picture quality is pretty good and the sound is more than enough to fill a standard size living room. Other benefits include the built-in FM/AM radio but it's not DAB. You can also play CDs in this system which makes it a great alternative to your Hi-Fi. The remote control allows you to adjust a range of options including sound and picture quality. For those ... Read review

Advantages: excellent sound quality
Disadvantages: base of speakers takes up more space than expected

The sound quality through these speakers is excellent and the sub woofer is fantastic. The DVD player can play just about anything but found when I played a CD in it there was no screensaver so you have to make sure you press the button to bring up the CD information or you run the risk of getting screen burn or so my husband says. We use ours with a samsug TV, I don't know if this makes a difference or not but I have fund that the DVD player woks ...
...I think it may have been a little tricky to install but my husband did it and it seemed to take quite a long time. I find the speakers although they are quite sleek looking they still take up quite a lot of unnecessary floor space due to the big bases. Overall I would recommend this to anyone who asked. ...

Advantages: Great picture, nice and loud but doesnt lose the crispness and beautifully designed!
Disadvantages: Goes wll with samsung tele's, maybe not so with other manufacturers

...this hooked up to my Samsung 556, the DVD player has 1080p upscaling which produces an image to rival that of most blue ray players! It also has samsungs new automatic link up function which means only one controller is needed, when you turn the DVD player on, the tv automatically switches on and goes to the correct channel, although i believe you need a HDMI cable for this, although these arent too expensive if you browse, a £25 one from amazon/play ...

Advantages: Sound and size
Disadvantages: none to faul or think
