good system with a great sound quality . the cd\/dvd be flexible with regard to us\/european dvd format . altogether lot of feature , but along with that lot and lot of wire . Speaker wire be not long enough for a reasonably size room . to be able to properly use the system , read the manual . even obvious functionality be not necessarily easy to figure out without it . anyone figure out why you need 2 remote control for this combination ? consolidation would be nice , since other electronic gadget each have they own .
