this be a good product for the price , however the first one that we receive do not work properly . the music\/sound effect come through really loud and the dialogue come through soft . it be impossible to get a balance that would allow we to watch a dvd . the sound and picture also do not match up while use the dvd player . we be able to return it , and the second one work much better . it be not a $ 500 system , but then again , we do not pay for a $ 500 system . it also look nicer than the picture show here .
