my parent recently buy this for I and it rock !!! it only take my dad a hour or so to set it all up and hook my exist tv , VCR , and satellite receiver to the system . the remote control be easy to use , the sound be awesome and the speaker be great ! I especially like the speaker stand , cuz I didnt have to spend additional money on stand , plus the basis be heavy so the speaker will not fall over and they look really cool . the dvd player play all my dvd , cd and cd-r too . I be very satisfied with this product .
