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. from Buy.com Its simply amazing product. The sound quality, the surround effect and the volume level is amazing for such low price. Hats off to pioneer for making this wonderful product. I would defenitely recommend this product to everybody. from Buy.com I think this sounds great, love the performance for the price, however I want to use this unit with my home theater system. I can't find any codes for my universal remote to use with the system. All I need are volume control and I can't find any pioneer codes to work. A search of the internet hasn't revealed any either. from Buy.com Big props for the multiple optical inputs, and I love the control unit. I am using this on a Mac Pro, so it's not on an Xbox, but the sound is very crisp in the mids and high end areas. The sub is a bit too "thumpy" and "rumbly," as opposed to giving me a nice, pure low-end sound (like the 12" Klipsch sub I have on my other system.) I also wish that Pioneer had put a headphone jack on the control unit. That's a feature that was on my $50 Logitech System that I loved. from Buy.com Ease of use: I bought this system for just basic setup for my computer. I just wanted some 5.1 system to work with my 5.1 sound card using SPDIFF interface. Pioneer 600W HTS-GS1 offers very simple way to go 5.1 at very low cost. I like the fact that subwoofer is integrated with the receiver and you don't have to carry around too many boxes. from Buy.com Fairly easy to set up with color-coded wires. The sub woofer is WAY bigger than I expected and the head unit is WAY smaller than expected. The satellite speakers are fairly small but heavy, especially when they land on your head (my fault, not Pioneer's). Overall sound is good, but not overwhelming. from Buy.com But I think I don't need a bose till long time from now. Don't think twice if you are getting between $100-125. Set up is quite simple and Pioneer has provided everything inside to get you going within an hour max. It has multiple interfaces so you can connect your mp3,tv,dvd etc all together and switch between them. from Buy.com I'll make it quick and concise. If you like sound, quality, ease of use and money in your pocket, the Pioneer 5.1 system is for you. For games, this thing rules. from Buy.com I bought this Pioneer Surround Sound unit to connect to my HP Z556 Media Center computer via the Optical Digital Audio Cable. The only problem I'm having is with the lack of sound to the outermost speakers. from Buy.com Sound is good, hooking it up is easy, basic configuration is easy, and it doesn't look too bad! Remote is overwhelming at first till you get used to it (tons of buttons!). The only complaint I have is the stupid glowing blue light on the control panel when the system is turned on (located below 'Pioneer'), but a piece of electrical tape solved that. from Buy.com
