Onkyo HT-S7100 Theater System

$715.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
to me this is the perfect htib (home theater in a box) that comes with a 'real' receiver, the sr606.
from www.amazon.com
it's the cable not your receiver!
from www.amazon.com
the sub is huge, receiver is big, and the box weighs over 100 lbs...had to unbox it to fit in my car.
from www.amazon.com
the system comes with the sr-606 and i know realize that the sr-706 receiver would be a better choice -- 1080p video upscale as opposed to 1080i.
from www.amazon.com
it comes with the onkyo tx-sr606 receiver which is one the best receivers out there under $1,000.

from www.bestbuy.com
running 3 hdmi (satellite receiver,blu-ray and standard dv player) through the system makes it easy for her.
from www.bestbuy.com
items about it:1) it's small, it's black, and it looks great mounted on the wall underneath a lcd or plazma.2) the remote receiver is located inside the speaker, not the control unit / subwoofer.
from Rocco from Saginaw, MI, www.circuitcity.com
i am only in the need for a receiver and that will be another sony in the very near future.
from www.bestbuy.com
great not having to use separate receiver for running audio to multiple components.
from www.amazon.com
i don't have a receiver and didn't want to run wires everywhere in the room so i found this speaker system with it's self powered subwoofer and sound bar.

Sony HT-SS2300 Blu-ray Disc Matching Component

$325.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
a quick note, is that the receiver itself looks great and classy, it's a little big when it comes to length, but the thin nature of the product is worth it.
from www.amazon.com
for the price it was a good swap for my existing system as opposed to the 00's of dollars more for an onkyo receiver and the necessary 8 ohm speakers.
from www.amazon.com
i have been looking for a value based surround sound system to allow me the time to save up for the high end av receiver that i want.
from www.amazon.com
amazing, it goes loooooowww!, the receiver is nice and heavy, and easy to set up.
from www.amazon.com
the small size for the reciever is a big bonus for me because i didn't have a lot of room for it.

Onkyo HT-SP908 Theater System

$749.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
when i researched this product i found that they include their top notch (low-mid range) onkyo 605 reciever.
from www.amazon.com
setup was easy with exception of hooking on the speaker wires without banana plugs as due to the number of speakers, it was very cramped to insert the wire into the connectors on the receiver.
from www.amazon.com
the one draw back i can see is the receiver does get hot after using it for a long period of time.amazon.com did a great job and shipped this package on time.
from www.amazon.com
the a/v receiver has a faroujda dcdi chip in it.
from www.amazon.com
as it turns out, once you plug the included dvd player and tv into the receiver via the included hdmi cable, insert a dvd, change the input to dvd on the receiver, and press play...nothing happens.

as a previous owner of a yamaha 700 watt receiver with 7.1 bose speakers, i think this system is superior in many ways.
from www.amazon.com
anyway, i synched the av receiver to my samsung tv & use my dish network remote to control everything which makes life simple.

the a/v receiver does 1080i upscaling, but i set everything to pass through native format.

from Louis from Arlingt, www.circuitcity.com
i purchased this to be my receiver and wound up returning it because it only switches the audio signals.
from Wily from Calabash, NC, www.circuitcity.com
the separate s-air receiver extends the range to our bedroom and it does sound better than the old boom-box we were using.
from John B. from Wils, www.circuitcity.com
after reading the manual, it clearly said do not put the reciever or s-air unit near other wireless products as this may resulf in loss of sound.
from A Customer from Waterproof La., clickfrom.buy.com
system was easy to set up although i did struggle a bit with the remote s-air receiver.
from Arvin from Charlotte - NC, www.circuitcity.com
the rear speakersare wireless, but it is not purely wireless the rear speakers needs to be connected to a wireless receiver - less cluttering.

Onkyo HT-S4100 Theater System

$250.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.crutchfield.com
i'm really pleased with this system...having said that, there's no hdmi in on the reciever, which was a bit of a hassle (and disappointment) but there's ways to work around that...
from www.amazon.com
the receiver doesn't do anything with it and you will need a seperate digital connection from the source to the receiver for the sound.
from www.amazon.com
this is my first 5.1 reciever and so far i am happy with my purchase.
from www.amazon.com
the receiver will detect and use dolby digital 5.1 or dts 5.1 and if a station doesn't have 5.1 sound you can have the receiver automatically use neo 6 to split the signal to 5.1.
from www.amazon.com
when playing wii games, the receiver's dolby prologic 2 decoder works very well in creating discrete directional surround sound from each of the 5 speakers.

from the cool-running av receiver to the wooden speakers and subwoofer this is an amazing system that will make your friends green with envy.
from www.amazon.com
remote is not all that intuitive with having to press an inconspicuous amp button before selecting other options for the receiver but not too steep of a learning curve.
from www.amazon.com
yamaha did a nice job with the featues on the receiver.
from www.amazon.com
and that one of each is necessary since there is just one port for each type on the yamaha receiver.

additional thoughtsthis system is great for having only the tv hooked up to the receiver.

the remote has a lot of tiny buttons densely packed onto it, yet some common features are buried deep in complex menus that can only be accessed by putting the receiver into dvd mode and accessing
from www.amazon.com
also, i do recommend this system's hardwire speakers over the s-air speaker/receiver system, which is highly susceptible to rfi/radio interference (think low-quality walkie-talkie).

if i want to have my cable television be in surround sound, i just unplug the digital audio cable from my ps3 and plug it into my cable reciever.

i installed the five speakers and sub woofer, routed and connected the wires to the receiver and put on a cd.

that the two rear speakers are "wireless." the subwoofer is truly wireless (other than the electrical cord), but the two rear speakers must be connected with speaker cables to the wireless receiver.
from D from Hampt, www.circuitcity.com
the rear speakers are wireless to the main system however, you still have to connect the rear speakers to the wireless receiver.
from Cs72 from Northern New Jersey, www.circuitcity.com
this system has crystl clear sound, the integrated 5 disc reciever unit saves space and the wireless system works like a charm.
from Storkel from Savannah, GA, www.circuitcity.com
i've seen systems with wireless surround speakers, but my room configuration prevented the subwoofer from being placed close to the receiver.
from JaneD from Orlando, FL, www.circuitcity.com
i was disappointed that the rear speakers have to be hooked up to a receiver and are not truly wireless.

note that the "wireless" surround speakers are not truly wireless: the system comes with a wireless receiver, to which the two surround speakers must be wired.

the only negative comment i have about this receiver is that the dvd audio input is for a coaxial cable and not an optical cable.
from www.amazon.com
sources to the receiver via toslink optical (2 avail), or digital coax cable (1 avail).
from www.amazon.com
so you'd better connect hdmi directly to your tv, and only use the receiver to decode audio.

of $$$ on a system because this one is fantastic.i recommend upgrading to digital audio cables for your dvd and or cable box, when the little blue light comes on your receiver it is pure heaven.
from www.bestbuy.com
i must say i am baffled by the known limitation of the product that there is no audio carried through the hdmi cables when you use them with this receiver.
from SPH from Atlanta, GA, www.circuitcity.com
the hdmi in/outputs seem pretty useless to me since it is unable to pull the sound off the input...you still have to run a separate audio input to the receiver.
from www.bestbuy.com
only issues i have with this home theater was having to spend big money on cables (3 hdmi, 1 optical) and that the cable connectors in the back of the receiver are low quality and break easily.
from KyleC from Visalia, CA, www.circuitcity.com
i like the fact that the receiver has 2 hdmi inputs.
