HP and the Environment HP is committed to providing products that are designed with the environment in mind, and all HP TouchSmart IQ 500 series PCs have earned Energy Star and EPEAT Silver designations. They also use HP power management technology can reduce PC energy use up to 45 percent, and their chassis design uses 55 percent less metal and 37 percent less plastic than standard PCs and monitors. To top it off, the new packaging design greatly reduces plastic foam cushioning materials. The Basics Processor: The Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 processor has a 2.2 GHz processor speed, fast 800 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and 2 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.) With two computational execution cores in a single processor, it provides greater system response when running multi-threaded applications simultaneously with no significant increase in power consumption. It's optimized for multitasking and is ready to support the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. It can simultaneously run multiple demanding applications--such as graphics-intensive games or serious number-crunching business productivity applications--while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background. Some of the advanced Intel innovations of the Core 2 Duo processor include: Smart Memory Access: Improves system performance by hiding memory latency, thus optimizing the use of available computer data bandwidth to provide data to the processor when and where it is needed. Advanced Digital Media Boost: Effectively doubles the execution speed for instructions used widely in multimedia and graphics applications. Dynamic Power Coordination: Coordinates Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology and idle power-management state (C-states) transitions independently per core to help save power. Deeper Sleep with Dynamic Cache Sizing: Saves power by flushing cache data to system memory during periods of inactivity to lower CPU voltage. .caption { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; } ul.indent { list-style: inside disc; text-indent: 20px; } table.callout { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, serif; margin: 10px; width: 250; } td.callout { height: 100 percent; background: #9DC4D8 url(http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/callout-bg.png) repeat-x; border-left: 1px solid #999999; border-right: 1px solid #999999; padding: 10px; width: 250px; } ul.callout { list-style: inside disc; text-indent: -12px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; } h5.callout { text-align: center; } Spec Check 22-inch LCD screen 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 processor 640 GB hard drive 4 GB RAM (8 GB maximum) Dual-layer DVD±R drive Draft-N Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n) and Bluetooth Nvidia GeForce 9300M GS graphics (up to 2010 MB) Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit) Hard Drive: The 640 GB Serial ATA hard drive (7200 RPM) provides more than enough space for storing all your photos and home movies, your digital audio library, and downloaded movies and TV shows.

Most helpful customer reviews 20 of 20 people found the following review helpful. so far, so good By Pat This computer is working well. I was skeptical about buying it, since my laptop was not even a year old, but I'm glad I made the change. It's very fast - almost instant on. The Touchsmart feature is not too practical. The 22" screen is more comfortable several feet away. Can't reach the screen, so I optimized it for the mouse. I did look at the Touchsmart software and found it of little interest. The large screen is very practical for my needs, though. I have plenty of table space right in front of me, rather than filling it with computer. The cordless keyboard works very well. Lot of times the cordless equipment doesn't keep up with my typing. Love the larger delete key. The mouse is a bit stiff, but it operates mouse-intensive games fine. All my software and wireless printer set up easily, as did internet connections. The little cover on the ports is a bit difficult to remove and replace. The shiny finish is quite a dust enhancer. Somewhere the black frame got scratched at the bottom of the screen right in the middle. I like the HP Pocket Media plug-in backup drives. The HP website shows the drive as an accessory to the 500 series Touchsmart. I phoned their sales people twice to ask about drive capacity and where the drive was inserted into this unit, and both confirmed the PC had a slot in the top, so I ordered the 500gb drive from HP at the same time I ordered the PC from Amz. PC arrived, and there is no slot. Another call to HP revealed that only the 800 series accommodates this drive. So I have to attach it via USB. The whole idea of the Pocket Media is that they slide right into their own slots in the PCs for which they are made. I found it interesting that both the people and the website at HP were sloppy about this accessory. HP is very generous about returns, but I wanted the larger capacity drive, so I kept it. By the way, this is the second HP computer I've had for which these plug-in drives were misrepresented on their website. First time it happened, a couple computers ago, I could not get anybody to acknowledge the error and correct the site. 25 of 28 people found the following review helpful. Lemon? By Kenneth Staley I realize once in a blue moon, a lemon comes off the line. Perhaps this is one of the Lemons of the 524 series. I've had nothing but problems with it. 1st...it will not eject the disk loaded...unless I remove the back panel (something HP Tech told me to do the night I brought it home...a brand new machine and I'm taking it apart already!) It will NOT burn CDs...perhaps one if 5 is playable again...the other four are junk. And although HP on line has been of some help, I'm returning this for the first time....and I hope the last time. This cost nearly $1300....and I believe right now I could have found a much better machine for much less cost. 15 of 16 people found the following review helpful. Perfect for my grandparent, avoid if advanced user By Andrea Lowes We were looking to buy my grandparent their first computer to introduce them to email and the internet. So far, this has been a great choice. The built in TouchSmart software provides an easy, graphical way to launch programs with a simple touch. The screen is huge and very clear, another thing we looked for. While a netbook could have run a browser and an email client-about all we'll ever need-the features on this computer could not be friendlier to a novice user. I would fully endorse it for what we needed. That said, I would not recommend it to an advanced user unless their only specification was the touch capability (which is very sensitive and well integrated). The TouchSmart software isn't as smooth as I would expect and feels somewhat rushed to production if not a bit buggy. For example, if you push the windows key while it is running you get a floating user icon and nothing else. It is hard to differentiate between scrolling and

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room? With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. Minimum size = Viewing distance/3 Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

Travis I have had the KDL46NX700 for about 6 months now and I do have to say that this is a very nice set! I will start off with what I like about the TV and move on the few cons I have found. I love the monolithic design of this TV... it really does look stunning on or off. The internet streaming capabilities are very cool. The included internet widegets/ channels make it easy to wirelessly stream various media (which has been fun) and it's also a breeze to connect to your Windows 7 machine to stream photos, videos, music etc... Like all HD sets you need to be connected via HDMI and have a true HD source to get the best picture quality... with that being said I have a PS3 for games and blu-ray, and a DirecTV HD DVR for cable. The picture is very sharp, bright and crisp. I would also say that standard def processing is above average as 4:3 content looks pretty smooth as well. I have handed off the up-scaling to a nice Anchor Bay chipset on my Denon receiver and didn't notice any improvement in picture quality. So the on-board processing is definitely above average. All-in-all this is a very nice set from Sony. The only negative comments I have about this set, is that when the TV is on for a little while, I hear a slight popping noise... I believe its from the set heating up? No big deal to me, but it has bugged me on a few occasions. Other than that, the picture controls are somewhat limited which makes it hard to get the exact colors you may want to achieve. Great set from Sony! NX700 and NX800 series TV's are very sexy! 15 of 16 people found the following review helpful. Great for HD Broadcasts/Not so Good for other stuff By madtsr Overall, a good deal for the price. It is super thin (total width, not including the base is 2 inches). Super-easy set-up for base mount (didn't do the wall mount). The quality of pictures depends on whether you are watching something in HD or not. Some channels listed as HD show SOME programs in HD, but not all. No complaints about HD programs which come in great, with the usual caveat that the blacks have some slight color issues (black comes in black/purple black), which is pretty common with LCDs. You really can't get away from this problem unless you go with a high end HD TV (thousands of $) or you buy a good plasma TV which have their own issues as well. Overall, you won't notice this too much. Blu-ray DVD movies come in great as well (with HDMI cable-see comments below). One of the nicer features is that it has an LED backlight behind the LCD screen, which you can adjust to make the picture brighter/darker. Just playing with it, it looks best with the LED backlight turned up and the room lights dim. As far as the sound, it is excellent-really good speakers. I'm not too crazy about the menus, which are cumbersome because this TV has many different features (for example, settings for movies, gaming, sports). I leave it on auto, which has been working fine. It also includes the ability to access the internet for certain things, but you cannot surf around the internet like you do using a web browser. The TV can do this, but you would need to purchase another box, like the Logitech/Google TV (it comes WiFi capable with a mini-keyboard for typing). If all you want is what the TV offers out of the box (Netflix, Youtube, Slacker, facebook, twitter, Sony Music, & more), the WiFi is as easy to set up as a laptop, if you have a wireless network, which I do. It searches for available wireless networks, you pick yours and enter your network password and you're done. One problem - Does not work with Mac. Some folks have suggested they have gotten it to work with some adaptors, but since I don't have a Mac I didn't bother reading much more about it. IMPORTANT - If you are going to order satellite or cable, make sure that you talk to your provider and ask specifically for a receiver that

3D Technology Checklist This product is 3D-related. To help you get a great 3D experience, use our checklist below to ensure that you have everything you need. If you have any questions or want to learn more about 3D, we invite you to visit 3D 101--our center for everything 3D. To get started with 3D, please ensure that you have: A Display The first--and most important--item you'll need is a 3D-ready display--whether it be a 3D HDTV, 3D projector, or 3D computer monitor. These displays usually have a higher processing power than older models as they need to display one image for each eye to create a 3D effect. A Source While your display is ready for 3D playback, you still need a device to read 3D content (i.e., a movie or a show). This source can be a cable box with a subscription to a 3D channel, a 3D Blu-ray Disc player, or a PlayStation 3. Content In order to watch 3D, you will need to get some 3D content. This 3D content will come from the source mentioned above in the form of a 3D program, movie, or game. Please ensure that your 3D movies are in the Blu-ray 3D format, as this new format will provide the best 3D experience. 3D Glasses All 3D HDTVs on the market require Active Shutter glasses to create the 3D effect. You will need to buy one pair of glasses for each viewer. Also make sure that the Active Shutter glasses you buy are compatible with your display--for example, buy the glasses from the same brand as your 3D HDTV.

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. Minimum size = Viewing distance/3 Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

Upgraded Samsung HL-T5076S 50 inch to this Mitsubishi 73 inch By M. shatalov I worked as a quality tester for the doomed Cablevision VOOM HD project in the early days of HDTV. Plus I've owned three other HDTVs (2 DLP and 1 LCD) since then, so i have a base to compare - not my first experience with Hi-Def TV. This Mitsubishi WD-73838 is a monster compared to my old 50 inch Samsung (see pic). The overall picture on this set is excellent, but i would not say that the picture quality is THAT much better than my 3-year old Samsung HL-T5076S (also 3D capable). Back then, it was a very good set for picture quality and even today it can still hang with the best of them. I paid ~$1300 for the Samsung three years ago and ~$1700 before tax/delivery for the 73" Mitsu just last week @ Electronics Expo. The price was great!! And definitely worth it just for the sheer size of the screen - a very good upgrade. The sound on this unit is pretty good, with all those speakers... but lets face it - if you are buying a huge home theater TV, you probably already own a good 7.1 AVR that supports all the surround sound HD formats. And if you dont - you should. 3D quality (updated below): For now, my experience on this TV with 3D content is limited to Motorsport 3D game for the PS3. But even in 720p and scaled down for 3D it looks excellent. Looking forward to seeing some of the 3D BD movies soon in higher 1080p. For 3D you WILL need the 3DA1 adapter for any 3D source that doesn't support checkerboard or side by side formats (see update #2 below!). Also, know that x102 DLP Link glasses are cheaper and will work well, but there is a known issue with them - they seem to lose the link to the TV if you are too far or the bulb is not bright enough. At 10 feet they start to flicker on and off, at 12 feet it's very hard to maintain the link. They also have a proprietary battery and rape you on shipping charges, so that may be an issue for some folks. Read up on HDTV and 3D before you buy!!! know all the options, formats and downsides!!! avsforums . com is an excellent source of info on the subject. As far as what other users report about 30-60 sec boot up times.... I guess it's true if the TV power is controlled by the cable box or if you turn the TV on for the first time after there was a (brief) power outage. If the TV is plugged into a wall jack (not into the cable box that controls the power supply to the TV set) meaning the TV still gets some power even when it's shut off, then it takes about 10-15 seconds to boot up. Remember this is a projection TV and a sophisticated one at that, just like a computer it takes time to boot up. After i plugged the TV into a wall outlet, in my experience the boot times have been very short. UPDATE #1 (Nov 2010): Well, after several months of ownership i am even more happy with this TV. Regular picture is still amazing, watching Great Migrations on NatGeo HD is simply incredible. The 3D is very sharp and there is no ghosting. The best glasses i was able to find were the viewsonics and optomas (they seem to be identical) right here on amazon. @ ~85 bucks a pair you can get several pairs for the friends and family. Some of the deepest and amazing 3D picture and effects i've were on IMAX: Deep Sea, Disney's A Christmas Carol and IMAX: Grand Canyon Adventure (even though this one was not pretty boring) UPDATE #2 (Dec 2010): Make sure you update the TV firmware (available on the Mitsubishi site)! Eliminates the need for the 3D adapter, adds support for all the 1.4a required 3D formats. 30 of 33 people found the following review helpful. Very good tv for the size By marco_mendoza I would first like to state that i own a Sony and Toshiba LED backlit LCD televisions. I have never seen the samsung LED DLP screens or the laservue DLP.

However, I have come to the conclusion that this is as close to perfect as I am going to find for my needs right now. I am using all 4 HDMI inputs (PS3, Oppo 980H, Directv HR20, and a Sony Vaio computer). The Denon has worked flawlessly with SACD, DVD-A, and lossless audio sources from my BluRay movies. For sound quality, it is important to get the speakers setup properly. Denon's auto setup with the included mic makes this a very simple setup. I have heard that it helps to take measurements from all over the room, so I setup 5 listening locations. The sound quality is fantastic. I do have an spl meter, but I have not had it out to fine tune the setup just yet. It already sounds fantastic. The Oppo has the ability to send out a DSD multi-channel signal for its SACD and these sound fantastic on the Denon. I am not really using the video upscaler very much since most of the signals I am inputting are already HD. In other words, the Denon mainly sends out the signals untouched, so it is hard to complain. The ability to update the firmware over the internet connection is what I believe sets this receiver apart from the competition. For me, this was the deciding factor. With all of the new tech in these receivers, I do not want to have to carry the thing into a service location every time it needs an update. I should mention that I played some music coming from my computer using the network interface and it worked okay. It did take a few seconds to retrieve license information for Yahoo Music DRM files, but I bet they improve on that in the future. The downsides are small, but should be mentioned. The remote is okay for setting up the system, but it is going into a drawer with my other remotes now that I have my Harmony 880 universal programmed for all of the general functions that I need. Also, the GUI takes some getting used to. I like the ability to rename the inputs and choose what video inputs go with the audio inputs. However, it was not something that I picked up and setup in a few minutes. It is better than my old Denon AVR-3300, so at least they are going in the right direction! 36 of 38 people found the following review helpful. Top performance for reasonable price. By Desert Rat Once set up the performance and operation is all that could be desired with two exceptions. 1-When using this with a DVD player and D-link to send SACD signals in DSD format to the AVR, the unit takes a while to recognize which signal format is being sent. It can take a couple of attempts to play the SACD before the two units talk to each other. Sometimes while this is going on the DSD signal is routed to analog resulting in loud while noise that could damage speakers. 2- There must be a less intuitive user friendly remote control unit somewhere but I don't know where it might be. I does perform all the functions it should --- once you figure it out. The user guide is of some help. Now the good stuff. There are an amazing number of devices that can connecr to this besides the usual phone and disk players (XM radio, iPod, USB drives (MPO3, WAV, WMF files), internet radio. There are even recorder outputs although the tape monitor of old is no more. The most impressive feature for me is the auto setup and room EQ. I've spent a lot of time and effort doing this manually with other products. I was dubious about the feature but the Denon gets better results than I ever could even with SPL meters, RTA etc. I've never heard a sub-woofer integrated with the main speakers this well. The software must get the distance and delays and phase difference just right as the imaging turned out better that I would have thought my motley collection of speaker capable. 28 of 29 people found the following review helpful.

Brown I recently purchased a Sony Bravia HDTV and a Panasonic Blu-Ray player. Both came with Ethernet ports but not wireless ones. I have a wireless-N network, so I found that I needed a wireless Ethernet bridge for these two new devices. They sell two bridges at Best Buy (D-link, Linksys), but they get poor reviews, cost $100, and only have a single Ethernet port each (requiring that I buy two bridges or one bridge and a hub). Many of the bridges on Amazon also have sketchy reviews. However, I saw some Buffalo devices that looked potentially interesting, with multiple ports and positive reviews on some models. So, I gave this one a shot since it comes directly from Amazon (instead of a 3rd party seller) and looks similar to other Buffalo devices that are reviewed positively. These reviews of other models warned of possible difficulties (e.g., poor documentation, issues with Windows Vista, issues connecting to non-Buffalo wireless routers that are using encryption) but claimed these difficulties could be surmounted. I got the bridge this evening and it was simple and easy to install on my network. I simply connected it directly to my PC via its Ethernet port, ran the setup disk, fed the setup program the information about my network and its encryption, and that's it. I put the bridge in my den, connected it to my TV, and I was immediately able to watch Internet-only HDTV content on my Sony Bravia (e.g., Amazon video). The whole thing took about 15 minutes from opening the box, configuring it via my PC, and popping it on my TV. Hard to see how this could be better, so I'm giving this 5 stars for now to alert folks to the utility of this product, but if I run into problems later I'll update this review. 16 of 19 people found the following review helpful. Setting up with Mac under Tiger 10.4.11 By Craig T. Morita This unit works well for streaming Netflix Instant on videos to my Sony BDP-N460 Blu-ray Disc Player for playback on my Sony Bravia8 XBR TV. It is the only bridge that I found that has four plugs in the back allowing both the TV, DVD to plug in (with space to plug in an Apple TV or Apple MiniMac in the future). There is no documentation about how to use this unit with Macs. Here is a guide to my setup: To setup with Mac Tiger Os 10.4.11 or Leopard 10.5.x and a first generation Time Capsule unit broadcasting a 802.11n signal. Note that none of the supplied software will work on a Mac so web based setup is necessary for Macs. However, you can access the manual on the CD. Also the AOSS setup method will not work with Mac Airport Base stations. The Mac documentation is essentially non-existent. A major problem for WEP password users: The WEP password option used with Apple Time Capsule Airport stations and newer Airport units is a special form called WEP (Transitional Security Network) when you select the 802.11n option for network setup in the Airport Utility program. What is this? Here is the Apple description: A Transitional Security Network (TSN) is a network that uses the Transitional Security Network Protocol that allows clients to authenticate with networks in the most secure way possible, based on the capabilities of their hardware and software. Computers capable of connecting using the WPA standard will be able to authenticate using a WPA password. Computers that do not meet the requirements to authenticate using WPA will use WEP instead. The same password is used on all clients of the Transitional Security Network, regardless of the specific authentication method they use. I was unable to get WEP (Transitional Security Network) passwords to work with the Buffalo unit. Neither the 13 character ASCII passwords or the hexadecimal password (from the pass phrase - this is found by selecting the base station you will use in the Apple Utility program, select "Base Station" in the

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.

You can read a lot of positive reviews about the EX500-32 on Amazon that will give you sufficient detail about the Sony Bravia EX's. Start with those reviews and note the differences between the 500 and 700 are: - Video Processing : BRAVIA Engine 3(tm) Technology: Many of the LCD tv companies share the production of various parts, including the screen. One of the major differences between the brands is the software that drives it. The EX 700 has the Bravia Engine 3 driving it. The EX500 and lower have the Bravia Engine 2. The Sony rep told me that Sony makes 90+% of the digital cameras and equipment so they have the software advantage when it comes to interpreting those inputs to get the output (the tv). Take this for what it's worth coming from a rep, but it's something to consider when comparing TV brands. With the Bravia 3 engine you know you have the latest available. - The EX700 has a motion sensor (Presence Sensor) that turns off the TV when nobody is in the room. I think this is important because heat can damage your tv. If you accidentally leave it on your risk of damage is lessened by the auto-off. Also, this will save some $ in energy bills. - The EX700 has Motionflow 120Hz Technology for Smooth Motion, the EX 500 does also. The EX400 does not. 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Great picture! By Mick Great picture, just as advertised. Sound adequate, easy to hook up a sound system for great sound. Only thing I don't like is that when you turn it on it has a "Sony chime" announcing it turning on. I would like to defeat it but don't know how. A little pricey for a 32 inch-but I looked at Samsung's top non 3D 32 alongside it and the Sony had better shades of dark. A dark men's suit in the Samsung looked just black while the Sony had shades of black/grey. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. DEEP blacks By seTclock As an owner of a 50" Pioneer Kuro, you can say that I am an HDTV snob when it comes to black levels and contrast. I truly missed the details seen in dark scenes on old CRT televisions when I first made the switch to HD with a 50" Sony Grand Wega. Though this EX700 does not attain the Kuro's degree of black level, it comes close, and as I have purposed it to be my bedroom TV, I am more than satisfied. The black levels are not the only strength of this set. The overall picture quality is superb... with a good HDTV signal. This is it's Achilles heel. This Sony is awful with standard def programming. I did not remove a single star for this fault, as I don't watch standard def TV. I purchased an HDTV to use it to watch sports, news/history/science and film, all in HD. Look at the (televisioninfo period com) review for this set and see not only the recorded black levels, but the overall review of picture quality and uniformity. That was the review that sold the set for me and I am glad I trusted it. In my research I did not find a 32" set with better black levels, but if you're fine when scenes of a night sky are shown as a field of gray with white dots interspersed then this review means nothing to you and you've wasted your time reading it!

I choose Philips only because it can play DVD from all region. The sound quality is not so great. Every time I switch off and switch on the system I have to pair up my rear speakers. Initially I had difficulty in pairing up my rear speakers. I contacted Philips customer service and it was horrible. The person has no clue on the features of the system or about the wireless receiver for the rear speakers. The Philips customer service representative concluded in 5 minutes after collecting all my personal information that the system is defective and they can send me a new system :-) Eventually after 24 hrs of playing with it I decided to return it to Buy.com. They provided me with a prepaid return label. Now awaiting for the refund. I will not recommend Philips to anyone who want to buy a home theater system. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Decent Compact Home Theater System By Adam E. Dart This home theater system is actually pretty decent for what you're paying. I'll go through a quick summary of what it comes with just in case anyone has any questions about it. Out of box, you get: 1 blue-ray/dvd/mp3/central module 1 front-left speaker 1 front-right speaker 1 front-center speaker 2 rear tower speakers 1 remote control 1 iPod dock 1 HDMI cable 1 wireless tranceiver/transmitter for rear speakers Wires to set up the entire thing. What I really liked was that the player/central module has space for two (2) additional front/side speakers. Of course, the entire system is set up so that you would have to get Phillips speakers that are compatible with the system, but that's really not such a big problem. The module also has a USB port on it, for smaller mp3 players and the such; Very convenient. The sub-woofer is actually quite nice. It throws out some great bass Overall, the system is more geared for general music playing than it is for watching movies. While watching movies, the rear speakers tend to only play "surround" sounds. It's possible that I had some strange setting on while testing it, but don't expect it to sound like a premium BOSE system; It simply won't. It's almost there, but not quite. Still a great system, with easy-to-use functions, and sleek styling. I would recommend this to anyone who has a smaller area that they want to put a theater system into. A bedroom (that's where mine is) or smaller finished basement would be perfect with this. If you want extra sound, I would recommend getting the extra front-side speakers. You won't be blasting out your eardrums either way, but still; A very good system for the price. 0 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
