the below poster obviously never read the manual or be just naturally ignorant . all you need to do be ... hook audio plug from the back of the receiver to you television . then hook you ps2 into the television . now set the unit on the aux . function and set surround sound mode to party -lrb- even sound on all speaker -rrb- . Ta da surround sound with ps2 and xbox or whatever else . anyway , I have find this to be a great system . I do alot of research before buy this unit . for I , I do not want to spend much over $ 200 for a home audio system without a dvd player or $ 300 for one with a dvd player . since I do not have a dvd player -lrb- minus my xbox -rrb- I decide on this unit . the picture and sound quality for dvd be great . it really get you into the movie . as with any television or home audio system ... take the time to read the manual . the stand be weighted nicely and will not fall over unless force . also the radio feature be something I be highly interested in , for listen to college game when they be not on tv . another nice feature be the universal remote include . basically eliminate the need for have 3 different remote just to watch a movie . one remote control the tv , dvd , and surround sound ... not a decision make factor , but still nice to have . I can not say I have find a downside to the system as of yet . for the price range I think this system be top of the line . good luck !
