this be a nice little home theater system and it serve the purpose for which it be intend . it be small , easy to put together , have detail instruction and produce a nice quality sound for watchinig movie without be too overwhelming . this be definitely for home use , so anyone who be look for a booming , thunderous effect in a larger area will not get it from this unit . I be unable to hook it up to my 20 year + stereo system , but that be no surprise . I also could not get that itsy bitsy remote to work . but these be not deal breaker and overall , it do quite well in my family room .
