This is an awesome machine. It has the potential for anything. With 1000 watts, it will blow your mind. I played a dvd movie, The Fast and the Furious Toyko Drift, with the hdmi upconversion, the sound effects were unbelievable. It looks nice and elegant. This is something I would recommend to anybody who hasnt gotten a home theater system yet.

Item this good should be sold for more!

Really great sound for watching movies on it. I purchased a 32" HDTV from radioshack for a cheap price and it works great with it. It's easy to set up since it's color coded in the back. I LOVE IT. This is my first home theater system and it completes my life.

Bottom Line:

I set this up in the living room (17’ x 17’) of our home. The sound could easily fill a larger room than ours. This Home Theater In A Box (HTIB) is a great value.
*It has a built in radio tuner to listen to over-the-air radio channels (not satellite stations).
*It has an iPod dock.
*It sounds great listening to regular TV channels.
*Last night, the pre-season NFL game sounded great (ESPN, Bengals v Packers).
*It is phenomenal watching a DVD (The Bank Job).
*Very easy to set up.
*Each speaker has a color-coded connection that fits in a matching color-coded port on the back of the unit.
I could not be happier with this HTIB, especially for the price. For the average user, this HTIB is a BEST BET. You can spend a whole lot more, but could you tell the difference? We have this HTIB connected to 2 TVs. Via HDMI cable to an HD TV and via S-cable and audio cable to an older analog TV. The sound is really, really great. I’ve told all my friends about this HTIB. I believe this HTIB could be priced higher and would still be a good deal. I have another HTIB by JVC that I paid more money for, and the less expensive Philips HTIB is far superior in quality. I strongly recommend the Philips HTS3565D.
*NOTE: If you are in a room larger than 17’ x 17’, have some additional speaker wire on hand to splice in, as the included wire may not be long enough for a larger room. If you have an HD TV, use an HDMI cable (not included).
Again, I strongly recommend the Philips HTS3565D.
