5 of 5 Good value Monday, January 28, 2008 A Customer from Chicago, IL
If your sound card only has analog surround sound output, this is not for you! It has 2 optical inputs, 1 coaxal digital input, 1 stero input, (and I think) has 1 input for DVD player which is the regular RCA style. I hooked this up to my optical output and it works like a champ. Good value for $. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 I wish I'd bought more than one! Friday, January 25, 2008 Corron from Dayton, Ohio
This system is the perfect bargain. Having used it now for a few weeks I gladly would have paid the $399 regular retail price. The system isn't perfect, but you cannot beat it for the price. I have a TV, X-Box 360, PS2, and a DVD player all hooked up. The TV is the only non-digital source! System sounds amazing, setup was quick and painless, and all my games and movies are much more enjoyable now. You just don't realize how much 5.1 surround sound impacts the experience until you have it.
I really wish I could find it for this price again, I'd by more! Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great Sound for a great price Wednesday, January 23, 2008 Paul from Staten Island, NY
This system cannot be beat for the money a great asset to any xbox user. Buy the whole sound system for the price of the xbox remote! Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Excellent Buy! Monday, January 21, 2008 A Customer from Spanish Fork UT
Great surround sound especially for the price, installation was super easy which is saying alot for me haha, anyway would recommend to anyone I use my 360 for movies/gaming and this is just the final touch I was looking for. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Poineer 5.1 Xbox Surrou nd system Monday, January 21, 2008 Jim W from Warren, RI
The system is great and what a powerful, crip, clear sound it provides. the amplified sounds with the X-box is DYNAMIC... Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Very satisfactory Saturday, January 19, 2008 A Customer from Seattle, WA
Works great out of the box - instructions & setup are easy. For $100 it works and sounds great! I'm sure more expensive systems would sound better, but this one is very good and cheap. Bonus - I didn't realize that the remote works for the XBox as well, so you don't have to buy a separate one! Great if you watch dvds on the xbox. Was this review helpful?
3 of 5 Buyers Remorse Wednesday, January 16, 2008 wayne from South Prairie, Wa.
I wanted to upgrade to digital audio, to replace my old Pioneer 600W. Pro-Logic 5.1 Surround Sound Home Theatre in a Box #VSX-305, that i purchased new over a decade ago for $399. I was somewhat disappointed about this unit in that;
1. Very limited amount of components can be hooked up without the use of "Switches".
2. There is no audio "Pre-Out", or "Pass-Through"
3. Sound quality is actually much better from my old analog Pioneer, than is the case with this unit (Both are 600W. Pioneer Home Theatre Systems). Go figure.
4. Odd, heavy-corded, Head Unit, that you must arrange into your set-up.
5. Poor arrangement of woofer just begs to be damaged.
Now i'll post any plusses i can think of over my old Pioneer system.
1. Satelites are smaller than my old satelites by a 3rd.
2. Subwoofer is slightly bigger, not to mention the head unit you still have to deal with, but there is no bulky reciever taking up space in order to get 5.1 audio.
3. Price.
I went ahead and boxed up my old unit, but i am going to keep it around for a while just in case i can't grow accustomed to the lesser sound quality that this system provides.
In summary, if you are strapped for cash, or space, and want ok 5.1 audio, it won't disappoint. If you have an Xbox 360, and you want it all to coordinate, it won't disappoint. If you are upgrading your audio components to digital from analog just to stay with the times and/or are thinking it's got to sound better because it's digital, then be cautious. When it comes to your Home Theatre, a little leg work goes a LONG way. Find a unit that sounds good to you in store, then go online and comparison shop for it. Everyones tastes are different, from audiophiles on down. Only you know what sounds good to you. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 are you kidding? Wednesday, January 16, 2008 A Customer from haggerstown, md.
I find this to be one of those rare occasions when more value is received than money paid. What a great little system for $99. It's an attractive, quality built and feature laden product. The only missing link is a head phone jack. Buy.com's service was excellent and it was nice to be able to follow the progression of the order all the way to my front door. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great value, Amazing sound Wednesday, January 16, 2008 Ron McLaine from Springfield, MO
For $95 this product should be in the top of the list for purchase.
I'm feel lucky I didn't miss this deal. Very happy with overall performance!. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 GREAT SYSTEM! Wednesday, January 16, 2008 A Customer from Wilmington, Ohio
I bought this system to hook up to my 360. Not only did I hook up the 360, but I was able to hook up my Wii and DVD player. (with some extra cables of my own) Sound is great and setup was easy. Great product for the price. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Best 95 bucks I ever spent Monday, January 14, 2008 A Customer from Portland, OR

5 of 5 Great Value !!! Monday, January 14, 2008 A Customer from Springfield , IL

5 of 5 Pioneer System at the Best Price Ever! Friday, January 11, 2008 C5Chris from Orange County, CA
I have my eye on this system since I saw it at a local electronics store. It is specifically made to compliment the XBOX360 - white case, no CD player/DVD player (which is supplied by the xbox) and less cords to mess with.
Straight from the box, wires are color coded for ease of use. Setup is easy too, with the automatic calibration feature. This system is made for small to medium rooms hence its compact speakers and subwoofer. I placed it in the game room with our 2 flat panels and 2 XBOXes. Sound is amazing!!! Call of Duty 4 got a lot more fun, and that's saying alot.
At this price, I wish I bought two. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Good Sound Quality and Good Price Friday, January 11, 2008 A Customer from NY
Although I don't have an Xbox 360, I'm still quite satisfied with the performance while enjoying music and movies through my VAIO laptop. It's really a surprise when I saw how big the package box is because it is much bigger than I expected it would be. I bought it for $94.99 and with a price like this, there isn't any drawback I can say about this product. Worth buying, go for it! Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Good value for money Thursday, January 10, 2008 A Customer from Tempe,AZ
System was very easy to setup, color coded wires helps the process. Automatic set took less than 2 minutes and it was happy listening after that. Once again very good value for money for an inexpensive Surround sound system. Works very well for resonable size rooms. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 great compliment to the 360! Thursday, January 10, 2008 Fred from Virginia
bought it for $94.99 and so far i'm really happy with it. I have no need for a receiver with video switching as my universal remote switches the inputs on the TV for me.
