I buy this home theater system around 2 week back . after lot of research I narrow down to Panasonic and Onkyo . but due to my recent good experience with Panasonic product I go for this one . I do not want to spend more than 500 $ . this one cost I around 425 \/ - . the sound quality be very good and the speaker be very stylish . I hook the whole system in about 2 hr . the speaker wire that come with the system be 33 foot each for the surround sound speaker and should be good enough . I unecessarily buy the extra speaker cord and run short of the 50 foot wire that I buy and then only do I open the speaker wire which come default , should have open they first . the remote take some time to understand , but if you be savvy with electronic gadget it should not be a problem . you can hook up the digital cable and VCR player pretty easily -lrb- for this you may have to buy the cord -rrb- . I be pretty impressed with the sound quality from the digital cable I have , it sound better than my friend bose 3.2.1 system . the dvd player could play my home dvd 's which I burn on a dvd+r disc although the official manual say it play dvd - r disc . overall a good system for the price . I would recommend it if you be look for a sub 500 $ home theater system .
