the shipping for this system be very fast . the surround sound system itself work great . although not truly 5.1 surround sound , each speaker synthesize sound independently to mimic -lrb- very well -rrb- true surround sound . when I first get the system I think I would not be able to connect it to my tv since it only permit optical audio and line-in audio jack -lrb- for ipod and computer -rrb- . however I use a regular audio cable -lrb- for ipod -rrb- to connect my tv to the speaker and they be still able to synthesize the audio separately . Great for video game and movie , I could not be happier for the price I pay .
