?Get an extended warranty if available. ? Review: The Philips HTS3544/37 with its DVD player, HDMI output, aux-in and 6-speaker surround with subwoofer is a good value at less than $200. ?Sometimes found on sale for $100 or less, the power and features offered here are rare. from Shopping.com The problem I have, all of the speaker wires have a preset length. The length is inadequate to place the rear speakers to get true surround sound. I contacted Philips customer service and there is no solution to this problem. The length is what it is. from Walmart.com One of them kept forgetting my system settings, etc. VERY FRUSTRATING! I will never buy another Philips productagain. I own four other systems (of varying qualities) and have never had as much trouble as I have had with the HTS3544. from Circuitcity.com Excellent home theatre system, excellent sound, powerful yet accurate. Easy to use, cheap for the features. It's impossible to go wrong with Philips. Even the worst quality CD's of mine sound perfect.... from Walmart.com However, I connected satellite box into the home theater. This is optional, but I thought it best for sound. It is used with my 32 inch Philips LCD, and turning it any more than halfway up will blow you out of the room. Remote is already compatible with the TV, so I just use the one from theater. from Walmart.com I'm gonna order the digital audio cable ASAP because I've heard its a higher quality. Also this thing comes with a USB drive so you can get a USB flash drive and actually save movies and music from your computer and play it on the Home Theater! One thing I'll let you know now that even the Philips customer service couldnt help me out with is when you buy a USB Flash drive it might say "Device not Supported". Now I called Philips customer service and they tell me it only supports a 4 gig USB drive which is BS. from Amazon.com I think it has something to do with a very cheap power supply that can't be replaced. It sits in my living room right now looking pretty and wasting space (with my DVD still stuck inside!). I'm cursing Philips for making such a cheaply made product. What a headache this thing has turned out to be! from Newegg.com I'm shopping around and when I find a good deal on a replacement I plan to give this one away b/c I wouldn't feel right selling it to anyone else. I realize that most of the reviews on this product are very good, so maybe I just got a lemon...but either way I would have liked to have known it was possible I'd be getting such a terrible system beforehand. I will absolutely not buy Philips again. from Amazon.com No HDMI in. Remote feels very cheap.iPod dock feels very cheap. Other Thoughts: Always loved Philips, so I thought this would be a great buy. Unfortunately, Philips has ruined its reputation with me on this product. from Newegg.com The power would not even come on. Then it mysteriously powered on and worked for 3 to 4 more months. I called Philips and they sent me a FACTORY REFURBISHED replacement. This replacement did not work at all. from Amazon.com
