iLuv i1277 Slim Desktop Video 5.1 Channel Home Theatre System and DVD Player with iPod Dock (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Fool me once...fool me twice...fool me three times...Iluv does it again. Looks good...feels good...doesn't work. I have 3 of the 4 ipods that this thing is suppose to work with, and none work properly.
A couple just freeze up when you skim the menu....The Ipod classic works best, but the menu only shows music playlists...video has to be browsed with no submenus....Worst of all...the speakers don't work, except for the very front left and right....I put in several surround sound DVDs in...switched to 5.1...and nothing except the front speakers...the front speaker port works with all speakers...but the other ports only have a faint sound emanating from them....Until Iluv gets bought by Apple...I'd stay away from their stuff....

RCA RTD317W DVD Home Theater System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this item from another retailer for even a higher price than it is on sale here. I just wanted to have it right away.
The features are great, 1080 upconverting DVD player, two Aux in, USB stick compatible, AM/FM Radio, half way decent sound for a small room for the price.

Unfortunately my joy about getting a halfway decent looking small home theater system for a good price was very short lived. To be exact it lasted about three to four hours. This was right after I set it up and was first listening to radio, then CD and watched a movie at the end of the day.
The next morning I started listening to the radio while having breakfast and after that I inserted a CD and got the message "no disc". Same happened to all other CDs and DVDs I tried, even the ones that were working just fine the day before. Customer Service never responded to me.
If you only need a radio you can get cheaper ones. But this is all it is good for after less than 24 hours. It goes right back to the store and I will wait until I'm able to save up for a better, brand name home theater system. Up until then it will be back to normal stereo TV for me.
Do not buy!

Sony DAV-FX900W 5-Disc DVD Dream System (5.1 Channel) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had just purchased the Samsung HL-S4666W 46" DLP HDTV and I felt I needed a surround sound system to go with it. However, I didn' have thousands to spend, and I needed to get a progressive scan DVD player too. This system answered all my problems at once.
The set-up took about 1-2 hours (mostly just putting the speaker stands together, which are made of metal not cheap plastic). It was probably just as long to actually figure out how everything works. The manual has everything in it; however, it isn't in any logical order.
PROS:
-over 1000W of power
-"wireless" rear speakers w/separate amp (If you step in the way the connection is broken, but it goes back on within a second of walking out of the way)
-HDMI output & optical audio input (plus component, RCA, etc, etc)
-Auto-Calibration mic (I thought it worked pretty accurately, it tells you the distances that it thinks the speakers are from the mic, and they were dead-on in my case)
CONS:
-DVD turntable EXTREMELY slow (I was aware of this before I bought it, and I think most people can deal with it)
-DVD insertion is sort of sketchy (It doesn't tell you when to push the DVD into the slot, you just have to hold it there and hope it sucks it in. I find the easiest way is to "eject" the empty slot and then push the disc in right after the word "eject" comes off the lcd, I've looked all over the manual and haven't found a clear explanation of what I'm doing wrong)
-DVD FF/RW only has 2 speeds (really stupid)
Overall I love this system. I hooked up my PS2 with RCA audio to the receiver and started playing "Guitar Hero", and the sound was great. I've also thoroughly enjoyed watching concerts I have on DVD (Audioslave, Offspring, The Police, Depeche Mode, etc.). They all sound excellent. I have a DirecTV receiver, with the optical connection. It's great watching sporting events and such with this system.
I'm not a professional speaker guy by any means, but for what I use this system for, it sounds great. The DVD player is excellent barring its minor setbacks. On my TV the movies look great through the HDMI cable.
All in all, great starter system with everything included.
EDIT: Now that I've had this thing for a few months, I have a bit more to add. I think there should have been more inputs included with this item. I have a DirecTV box, a PS2, and a record player, and I can't hook up all 3 at the same time. There are a plethora of input types on the back, which is really nice so you can practically hook anything up, but only two things at the same time. Other than that its a great system. It has plenty of power, and I love cranking it up and listening whether it is NFL football or music CDs.
