I have had a blu ray drive on my computer but this is my first component blu ray drive. It was incredibly easy to setup. The menus were a little confusing at times, but with the manual I could find everything I wanted to tweak. I must say I was impressed until I started listening to music and watching blu rays. The Bass was great from the sub, and the surround speakers immersed you in the product. But the fronts were just too weak and tinny sounding. I decided I would experiment with my old speakers from my DVD HTIB. They are 6ohm 100watt speakers that are a little bigger and wooden. OMG! the difference was astounding! I wanted to post this review just to let everyone know to grab a pair of your old stereo speakers and watch this baby soar.

The Ipod connection was a little disappointing. I plugged my itouch and iphone in (works with airplane mode). The sound was fine, but nothing really translated onto the screen. It just let you advance, play and stop from the remote. In the end I still would control it from the ipod. The only difference from the line in jack is the few remote buttons and it charges while the system is on. Panasonic does a much better job with this. Maybe a firmware upgrade will change this. Also if your system is stuck in muting when you plug ipod in, a reboot fixes it. I found this online.

Finally, with Internet connectivity you would think they could integrate Netflix and Pandora. But not yet. I am hoping a firmware upgrade will add them.

All in all, as a Blu Ray home theater in a box it is superb. I set it up with HDMI and Optical connections all around and it paid off. But I would have given it a 4.5 or 5 if the front speakers hadn't been so weak out of the box. But not a deal breaker as cheap bigger speakers really added the oomph it was missing.

Friends Link : discount Sony BDV series : review and comparison 15ft hdmi cable Samsung PN series

I bought this to pair with my new LED LCD LG 55lh90. Awesome combo. Everything syncs great and is very easy to use. I ran HDMI cables from my cable DVR box and xbox 360 in to the processor and then HDMI out to the TV. The Built in Blu Ray means No other cables to connect. All you do is push play on the remote and it starts up (no need to change inputs or anything. Couldn't be easier)
As a heads up, with this set up I stated, you do not change the input setting on the Tv at all. To go from xbox to cable you use the input selector on the processor only. Blu Ray requires no specific selection. Just push Play!

I will share that after I hooked up the system and turned it on for the 1st time, I thought I made a huge mistake. It sounded weak and crappy. Then I realized that each individual speaker has its own volume control and there are several presets for sound that can be chosen. Within a few moments I had it sounding very good. One setting is called "Bypass" and this seems to work best most of the time. It plays sounds as it was recorded and gives the true surround sound (assuming the source supports this). For Sports events I use "Game." I find that it more fully creates a surround experience (it sounds like you are in the stands clapping with the fans around you). Note: there is a "Sport" setting but my ears say "Game" is the way to go...just my opinion.

If you really want to be impressed, pop in Blu Ray version of Avatar. Assuming you have a capable Tv, you will see how awesome this Blu Ray player is. I don't see how the pic could possibly get any better than what I'm seeing. 2 thumbs up here. As for sound, you truly get immersed in the experience. This system is powerful and performs very well. I was concerned at 1st because the sub does not have its own power cord. I wasn't sure it would be able to do the job...rumbling and deep tones that I like. Fear not, it performs well.

This system has many features as you will read, but other than what I have mentioned I only tried out the YouTube feature. Pretty cool. I plugged in ethernet cable to the processor and clicked on YouTube at the Main Menu. I showed my family some funny video clips just to see how it worked. Again, is really cool and it works, however I'll probably leave the computer stuff to my laptop.

Ok, now I will criticize a little bit. Sound quality is very very good, but of course it could always be better. Keep in mind this system is priced from 0 - 0. There are other systems costing thousands of dollars for a reason and you would assume (or hope anyway) that they could outperform a HTIB like this at this price. So with this said, this system does sound great...but it sounds great for the money! Actually to be fair, it sounds better than the money i paid...it could fall into a higher priced category and it would stand up. My one biggest criticism of which my dad agreed, is that the high's could stand some improvement. I like that pronounced ting you get from some good tweeters and this is missing. After closer inspection I realized that what looks like tweeters on these speakers is just decoration. They are Not Tweeters. If they put real tweeters here, of course the cost of the system would go up, but I bet the sound would be that much more amazing. Again, just my observation and opinion.

In summary, considering price, ease of set up and use, and pic and I'm the type of high-quality sound system will provide a recommendation for a wallet out of the die hard fans will be high. But not only the rest of your system. But when you meet the requirements of. I am happy to live.

I have been using this system for about a year now and have been very pleased. Every once in awhile I still find myself looking in the direction of the speakers thinking a sound was coming from the living and not the speakers.

Having AT&T U-Verse I was concerned that the wireless speakers would interfere with the U-Verse system but this was not the case. Worked perfectly on the default setting. It is very easy to setup for your cable system as well. This system does include a FM antenna wire that works great for me even stuffed behind the receiver. The system does include a microphone that helps automatically calibrate your system based on the size of the room and the seating position. When I moved from an apartment into a new home I forgot to re-calibrate for several months, but once I did there was a clear sound improvement.

Shopped around a lot before purchasing this and couldn't find another system comparable in price or quality with wireless rear I purchased this heukgisareul (+ BD is - the site), Ray [Blu speaker system is the first to recommend -), a surprising difference, even if your DVD has (like me first] is, it is a different movie.

I bought this baby last week for my new home. As usual, I have the problem of Air D Originally, I bought myself an HDMI Dynex by Best Buy for $ 30. I was with the association, we know that did not work.

Here are the questions to get to each.
1) I called tech support and they asked me, with the S-Video cable, they sent me to look. It worked, but not a great video sound good. This has not been happy

2) I then tried setting the pixels at 480p with HDMI. It worked well,but still a picture was not good. So I called technical support to get some new leadership.

3) Someone suggested to mean preserving unity in the vicinity of S-AIR main unit and press the button before piaring pair on the back. I knew with my Dynex HDMI cable. It did not work either.

4) I moved my Dynex HDMI cable coated aluminum, has not worked.


Final Solution:

I went to Best Buy in search of Triple shielded cable. I saw a monsterCable (59.99) and cable Fish Rocket (59.99).
Monster Cable looks awesome in the thickness bought and went home and connected ... Long live ..... my stay very long, I kept my 50 "Sony Bravia LCD on a corner and are able to sit in a corner another 15-20 meters. And keep the unit S-Air speakers corner at each end of my couch. This beautiful shielded HDMI cable takes care of them. And the picture quality is sooo amazing with these cables.

I bought one myselfAVATAR buy the best blue ray and oh my ... it rocks !!!!!!

I did not bother calling tech support signal amplifier. So for those of you who spent $ 1,000 to purchase the product and give $ 100 for cable and I do not mind ...

Bottom Line: If my friends went home, could not believe what I am capable of handling wireless rear speakers bin:) and were shocked to see the power of these tiny speakers ...
