this be my first venture into home theater and I be very pleased . have purchase a Rio portable music player a few year ago , and be impress with the quality of that unit , I be hopeful that this system would reflect the same quality of design and construction . so far I have find this to be absolutely true !  i buy this system to replace my own system I have cobble together over the year . so I be able to replace my stereo receiver , cd player , vh player , dvd player , and two set of speaker , all in one suprisingly compact unit .  setup be easy and fast . I appreciate the l-o-n-g cable provide by the manufacturer . some unit I have see only come with 10 foot cable . the manual be very well write and easy to follow . within a hour I have make all of the connection , place the speaker , and program all of my cable station -lrb- auto - search -rrb- and fm radio station .  so far the unit have perform without a hitch . I like the variety of sound setup , include prologic , which be something not find on many lower-priced -lrb- and some high-priced -rrb- unit . it even have a feature to program delay on the speaker to customize it to you exact room configuration -lrb- incredible ! -rrb- .  the remote control be not overly cluttered , and be well lay out . it do not however , control the power on\/off for my tv set . so I have to keep that remote handy . it do not light up either , which would be useful at night . I replace a apex dvd player which have horrible search and control feature . this dvd player control be much more intuitive and straightforward .  the only shortcoming for some might be the passive subwoofer . it be fine for I , but if you want really booming bass , better to get a power subwoofer .  overall , this be a quality unit that be well think out by the mfgr . it have the most feature and power I have see on a unit in this price range .
