Lee, blackpool Gadget lover
- Good points:
- For sound quality and ease of use this product is excellent. If you are setting it up to just be a cinema system then it takes 20 mins max from start to finish. I however wanted my set top box and PS3 to run through it. There are a lot of conflicting set up stories online but the easiest way I found was to get hdmi leads running from the set top box and PS3 to the two ports in the back of the tv. Then use optical cables from the back of the tv and back of PS3 to an optical switch and an optical cable from there to the surround sound. This way you can get Dolby 5.1 from them all. I used a hdmi from the surround to the tv for initial set up and for if I ever want to use my iPod through it but that's a rare occasion. Set it up like this and then use the d.in function on the surround and it should be perfect. Hope this helps
- Bad points:
- Not a great deal really. Speakers are a bit cumbersome and that's about it

Karen, Norfolk Music listener
- Good points:
- The overall sound is good and also the stereo function whilst listening to music is good
- Bad points:
- The rear speakers should be on a smaller base as these stand out from the wall quite a bit and you need a large room to place them correctly. Also would have liked more sound from the rear spreakers

Marc , Movie fan
- Good points:
- Sound quality and function are amazing, I advise purchasing some fibre optic audio cables and a fibre optic 1 to 2 adaptor if you want to attach say a playstation and you sky box as this improves sound quality even more but it is not necessary as its an awesome system.
- Bad points:
- Should come with at least one fibre optic cable and the rear speaker wireless adaptor as part of the package.
