Consumer Reports rate this a best buy . I pick up my system today . take more time to unpack the system and pull out the old equipment than to setup the new system . total cake walk . if people only new how easy it be to setup a system like this , everyone would have a 5.1 system in they house . not sure what everyone be talk about complicate . it be very remote drive , but it have dvd , VCR , FM\/AM , so what I expect .
