be a former studio engineer , I become so disenchanted listen to the audio through my tv that I finally `` break down '' and decide to purchase a home theater system . after read the review , I decide on the Koss c220 .  initially , I be very impressed with the ease of setup , especially with the `` Quick Start '' manual -lrb- how many guy like to read direction anyway ?!?! -rrb- . within about 30 minute I have the system ready to go with the film `` Gettysburg '' in the tray . and I must say that the sound be superb ! however , the picture quality be not that great . so after diagnose the problem with a few friend , it turn out that I need a rf modulator ... use this , I be able to use the s-video out which produce a more crisp picture and separate some of the interference I be see on my tv .  one more thing : you 'll need to tweak the volume setting on the speaker . you can do this through a cool menu system you view on the tv . I find that I have to set the volume to around 10db on the surround speaker , 6 on the left\/right , 8 on the center and 6 on the sub . but you will need to configure for you room .  all in all , a great starter system at a great price ! Cheers !
