I buy this system for a fairly large room -lrb- 10x20 -rrb- . as it turn out the set-up be not too bad but I now wonder if the transition\/wires run through the system cause the picture to be diminish . if so , I do not think it be too noticeable . regard the sound - it do have pretty good sound . generally , I be happy with the system so I do not return it . I buy it for around $ 200 . for some reason the sound on the system need to be turn up fairly high on many movie . when this happen I do notice a bit of a buzz noise from the subwoofer . the sub be pretty large so keep in mind where you plan on place it . I think in a small room the buzz would be even more noticeable . we do play game on this tv -lrb- via PS3 -rrb- so we have hook up we wius -lrb- need a hdmus converter , which you can find here on amazon -rrb- and we cable . it be a real shame that this system do not hook up directly to the tv and then play everything that be hook up to the tv through the speaker . instead the component must go through the subwoofer for the speaker to work . this be not too much of a problem since it do have 3 hdmus hookup - but a pain if you have more than that . -lrb- we do still use we ps2 but can not use it on this sound system since it be not hdmus and even if we could there be not enough input so we have to connect the ps2 directly to the tv . -rrb- the two small forward speaker be small and work very well . actually they work much better than I expect especially for such small speaker . we be use this sound system on a new panasonic plasma tv that have aquo . this allow the system to `` talk '' to each other . unfortunately , this do not work as well as it should . I would really like it if the tv 's speaker would work with the sound system as another front speaker but the system will not allow that . I do not think I would recommend this system for anything over $ 180 . con : again , keep in mind the input be hdmus -lrb- there be 3 -rrb- , the sub buzz a bit too loudly , and when play movie it seem the sound must be turn up fairly high to hear well , and the system do not allow you tv speaker to work at the same time . pro : fairly easy setup , good overall sound -lrb- especially from the 2 small speaker -rrb- , and 3 hdmus hookup -lrb- this can be a plus if all you need be 3 or less hdmus input -rrb- .
