But one by one. The set is visually and very well managed from a processing perspective, especially when one considers the low price The included remote control and a set of RCA cables to connect the speakers round out the package.
In terms of sound, the loudspeaker components are amazingly good. Punchy base of beautiful SideFire subwoofer meet aufspielende loud and very clear-sounding satellite speakers. All channels can be both together and also separately control the volume and are reproduced clearly and powerfully of the boxes. Please note the center speaker: This is 10 cm high and thus does not fit under any PC monitor. In this case - if possible - attach to the monitor. Speaking of attachment: Both the Center, as well as the front and rear speakers on the back have no possibilities for wall-mounting. If the attachment is desired to walls, you have to improvise or look for suitable speaker holders. Interesting additional feature: a Sleep Timer. So a quite useful feature have the fewest facilities.
Now we come to optimal use: For this one must first know that the inputs do not allow on the back of the subwoofer very many ways. Here are firstly a stereo aux input (RCA) and including direct channel inputs for each speaker (ie an input for the Centre, for the two front speakers, etc.). This means that you need a DVD player, which has a built-in Dolby or DTS decoder, on the back of the plane made an individual outputs. Not every DVD player has such outputs, Blu-ray player should give it even less. Of particular interest, this set is therefore primarily to connect to the computer via an internal or external 5.1 sound card. Although you still need to connect adapter plug or cable RCA to jack, but can be purchased for very little money. In short: If you have the appropriate player or would like to have the set for the computer that will find a great surround sound system for little money. But who wants to enjoy home cinema sound from Blu-ray player or TV, might be disappointed because of the few connections.
