my wife and I just move into we first house and after year of live in a cramped apartment , I be finally able to splurge on entertainment product for we living room . while I have do a ton of research for nearly everything else in my set-up , I take a chance on this system and be reasonably happy so far . for whatever reason , I have buy nothing but Samsung product for we living room . 52 '' lcd tv and Blu-Ray player . I figure I would stick to the same name brand for the htib system . on the plus side , the sound quality be pretty solid , especially during sport event . it be really , really nice . music sound fine on it , too . the set-up be fairly painless , as long as you follow the instruction closely . I love that it have 4 hdmus input , which be great since I have a cable box , xbox 360 and Blu-Ray player . it make it far easier to change input , compare to have to navigate HDMI input with the television 's own controller . I be absolutely blow away by the sound of the system when play call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 . fantastic stuff . my living room be a very odd shape and design , and for that reason I be glad this system have the ASC device to balance the sound . Picture if you will a rectangle on its side . my tv be in the upper right corner . a bay window take up nearly the entire right wall . the top\/north wall have a fireplace that jut out . the bottom\/south wall be where one couch be , but the staircase to go up stair be behind it , so there be actually only 1\/2 a wall there . the left\/west wall have a love seat , and the south-left corner lead directly into the kitchen area . that make it incredibly difficult to figure out where exactly to place the speaker . the ASC mic do a pretty good job get the volume level from each speaker balanced . I just wish there be a way to figure out the best speaker position without spend money to have some Geek Squad guy come out to the house . on the downside , the rear speaker be not wireless , although the cable be certainly long enough . when hang on the wall , the speaker also do not have a indentation to run the wire through , so the speaker hang on the wall weirdly . the system can not expand to 7.1 channel , but I know that when I purchase it . the system be fairly new , so my Harmony one remote have to be manually program . this have lead to a few occasion where the avr do not change input , despite repeatedly hit button on the remote . occasionally during commercial on tv , the sound will momentarily drop out for a second or so . I can not explain that one . I be also amaze by the amount of dust the speaker and avr attract . my wife and I keep we house spotless , but dust still find its way to the system and it be hard not to notice it on the shiny surface . despite my best effort , it seem like everything be cover in dust by the end of the day . I also have a Nintendo Wii , which have a composite output , and I still can not figure out how to connect it to the avr . the video input be there for a composite connection , but I be unclear where the audio get plug in . I be not a fan of the ipod connection , either . once you connect a ipod or iPhone , there be no way to select a song or playlist or anything ... the device just play . I have to set the avr to `` Video iPod '' in order to navigate the ipod and play the music\/playlist I want to . a minor annoyance , but a annoyance nonetheless . as this be my first htib , I really enjoy the hw-c560 and I hope to get quite a few good year out of it . that say , my next home theater purchase will be a larger , better set-up that work better with the living room .
