I be really please with this system . I buy this for a office in my house so I be look for something small , cheap and high quality . there be a combination that you do not find often . you certainly do here though . the receiver itself be quite small as be the speaker . setup be very easy . each speaker cable have a color code connector so it be pretty hard to get wrong . the length of cable for the front 3 speaker be fine though I have to add some extra for the rear speaker . the main selling point for I be the fact that this unit have 3 hdmus in . it allow I to connect my cable box , Mac Mini and match Sony Blu Ray player and switch between they very easily . I find no other system in this price range that have the diverse in and out that this have . one thing that concern I be whether or not the remote code would work with my Verizon Fios box . none of the build in Sony code work , but the auto scan feature find a matching code pretty quickly and it work great . it so nice to only have to use one remote 95 % of the time . I be pleasantly surprise by the sound of this system . I be not say it be go to please the serious audiophile out there , but for its give purpose , it be excellent . I would actually say that the surround decoding be supperior to the far more expensive system I have attach to my primary tv setup . the only knock I can give this thing be that it have very few physical button or knob . almost everything have to be do with the remote . this , in and of itself , be fine . it make setup a bit of a headache though . there be lot of drill through menu to find what you be look for . you should only need to do this once though and the menu be logically organize - just time consume to sift through . overall , for $ 199 ship , I really could not be happier . I would recommend this system to anyone . it would even work fine as a primary system as long as you understand that its not that $ 1000 system you have have you eye on .
