I have be to alot of football and Basketball Party 's and have surround sound be a ver big requirment to add on to the fun . i ` be a minor -lrb- 17 -rrb- , but i enjoy go to my friend house to see what Home Theater system -lrb- h.t.s. -rrb- they or they parent have and most of they be Sony or Panasonic . interest in purchase a H.T.S. for my room , i choose this item for video game , dvd movie and music purpose . be that i be on a short budget ... i want something not cheap but in my range , so i can still have enough money to get the New Jordans , i believe this item have a good range of feature as the Dolby Digital , DTS , and Dolby pro Logic surround decoding , a 5-piece speaker system , and a subwoofer for deep bass . all these feature blow my mind as a first time buyer , so if any of you first time buyer who be low on budget and want or need a home theater for any purpose , i would recommend this to any and everyone -lrb- then later on when you think you have grow out of this item i would recommend Sony 's `` dream machine '' -rrb- .
