I purchase this system about 4 month ago and have be very pleased with it . once I manage to haul the contents out of the very heavy and unwieldy box , I put it together fairly quickly . I be impress with the multiple inputs\/outputs that accomodate my satellite receiver and dvd player . the speaker be solid , make of wood , look good , and sound great . the receiver be easy to operate though I have to leave very specific direction for house guest so they could figure it out . I can not operate the subwoofer very loud to due my apartment neighbor but it seem to put out quite enough bass at the lowest level . the only problem I have have be finally figure out how to connect everything use component video from dvd to tv -lrb- since there be no component connection on the receiver -rrb- , s-video from satellite to receiver and a\/v connection to my VCR . the Onkyo website have good suggestion for configuration . the remote be a little disappointing -- I have to go buy a Sony universal remote in order to operate all my component but it be well worth the small ... investment to be able to do this . music sound good and movie sound great and even tv come through well use the tv logic setting . this be the best system available in this price range .
