It is really the best peice of equiptment in my house, i have it set up to the jamo's surround sound system, my 44" pioneer plasma and it interlinks with everything from my DVD player and my sky+.
When this baby is increased to full volume for movies like pearl harbour you really cant be in the room, it sounds like there is a full blown war in my house, even from the outside. The sound does not get fuzzy as the volume increases the furniture just shakes. The normal volume that mine stays at is in the minus 20 section, it is loud when the volume is at zero so you have to decrease it into the minus numbers.

When I purchased this product a professional installed it and gave me a rundown of all its features so it was easy to understand and operate. The instruction manual is there for convenience however you wont be needing it.

There is absoloutly no porblems with this product, it has never broken once in all the years that i have had it and it really is the best entertainer in my house. I play all my DVD's and music on this thing at parties and even when sitting in and watching a horror on my own. This is the best sound just like the cinema but LOUDER way louder. Your sure to scare your guests if your playing a horror through this big boy. It really is brilliant and i couldnt say a bad thing about it. It really is worth the money it cost.

I really am not joking when i say this peice of equiptment shakes the furniture, my only recommendation for people who buy this is that you get brilliant and durable speakers for surround sound to go with it.
