I needed a replacement sound system but did not want the hassle of 5 speakers and cords running in my living room or worse yet drilling holes and monuting speakers. This is the ideal product for that. It was very easy to set-up and adjust–two wires. It is not the same as having full surround sound, but as close as you can get with a single speaker. I checked out the Bose and Harmon Cardin and settled on this. I feel I got the best product for my needs.

I’m not a tech guy, but I am a guy who loves TV and wants the best…with in money’s reach. I did have the BOSE 1.2.3. or is it 3.2.1 . Any how I had the BOSE system with the two speakers. I seen this and have been wanting a sound bar for my home theater (which consist of a 73 diamond series DLP, a 360, a PS3, a wii, a comp level 12 down fire sub, and a hd-dvr). For a very brief time I had an onkyo 7.1 system but all the wires is want made me lean to the BOSE and then to this sound bar. So now you see a bit of a background of what I have and want I was wanting. When I first got this it only put out analog sound…which is strange because all my devices, except for the wii, is connected via HDMI (monster cable M series) to my TV and then from the TV to the soundbar via monster cable THX optical sound cable. Everything was connected with a digital source and this sound bar was throwing out fake Dolby sound…Dolby prologic I think is what its called. I did buy some more monster THX optical cables and a monster digital coaxial cable and use all of the digital inputs to connect everything. Finally it’s producing Dolby digital sound. The sound that this thing makes and throws out is a “must hear”. It makes BIG sound, by big I don’t mean loud…I mean BIG…it makes jets sound like they’re flying above the TV (yes roaring after burners and all) and it makes birds sound like life like birds…so much that my field champion lap goes nuts looking for birds. There are some down falls, I would like to see HDMI inputs and an output based on the cost of this…this would also help with an on screen display. I would like to see one of those mics you plug in and it auto calibrates itself…just based off the price…these features should be standard on this. Another down fall that is not the fault of the vender or Denon…I can’t find a DirecTv code to make this thing work…so yet another remote I can lose. If you’re still reading this, you must be wanted advice on helping you make a decision to buy this or not to buy it. If you find this NEW, not refurbished for under 700.00…BUY IT! Buying it used or refurbed is a personal judgment decision that only you can make.

In the box is an HDMI cable, 3…maybe 4 sets of different heights of legs, a remote (that had buttons on both front and back), a user manual that is bigger than my phone book.] and even hardware to wall mount it.

By the way the Sub is worthless if you’re looking for LOUD base that hits and knocks pictures off the wall.
