Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $200.00 from Future Shop

Summary:
Firstly this is my second Home Theatre system and was free with a 51inch TV. It would be inadequate to use in a home theatre room with this 51inch TV however I use it as a second system in my living room with an older 27inch CRT TV. It performs OK with that setup for DVD viewing but I am used to much higher end equipment for audio and theatre viewing.

Strengths:
Inexpensive all in one unit with a dvd player and component out. DTS and pro logic support as well as Dolby 5.1. Has played most any disk I have thrown at it including DVD+-R and RW, with only few problems, like the odd stutter and the menu messing up occasionally. Speaker voulme adjustable. For the price it performs as expected with good playback of most disk types. Broke down after 15 months with a protection error. Was under extended warranty and was repaired with a new capacitor. Extended warranry was a good move this time.

Weaknesses:
Low audio quality for music listening. Sub not powered, boomy when set loud eneough. Of course no SACD or DVD audio (high res) playback.

Similar Products Used:
RCA and KOSS units used at work. Koss was much poorer that Toshiba. RCA was better at audio as it had better/larger speakers

Best Floorstanding Speakers Under $1000

So many to choose from! Lets us boil it down. How to Choose a Floorstanding Speaker that fits you:

Give someone the gift of hi-fi. Or make the step yourself. Let us point the way...

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
