overall , a nice unit . not as powerful as the wattage would imply . some caveat : - the dvd player itself be quite loud ; during quiet passage of music or movie , it be a bit intrusive - the VCR and dvd unit be slow to respond to the keypress of the base unit or the remote , which be somewhat annoying . - the amplifier smell quite `` hot '' during the first few week , which make I worry about reliability . but I have have this unit for almost 6 month now and have be generally please with the performance and feature , especially for the price .
