Maybe my requirements and claims with the asking price may not werden- served perhaps mam can not ask for more in assets under 500. Everything was well packed and the structure did not cause any problems. The cable of the front speakers are clearly too short 2.5 m, especially since the default setting was preset in the system of the speaker settings with 3m. The material of the plant and the boxes looks cheap and susceptible to dust and fingerprints are difficult to remove. An instruction manual with explanatory content fehlt- only what is really needs no explanation graphically eg as you put the plug in the socket, etc. About the design I say nothing, but the subwoofer looks like from a teenage wall unit, flashing LED but chains are missing. The CD drive is operating, rattles and crashes - the CD's are output intact again, thank you for that. About the HDMI cable is of SAT-Res. only transmit the sound, have my TV ends up being connected via Scart and only used the audio channel. All other options for connections and use are working properly, but once the system just hangs out. But now I get to sound: Underground! Even after I have the sub set to + 6dB and the Center on -6 dB, there was no bass and the center sounds like a megaphone that it does in your ears hurt. Ever is not a kristallkrer tone in the treble to hear little bass (no carpet, no base), everything is middle-heavy and tinny. I previously owned a Sony sound system, 10-12 years old, with CD and VHS drive, even with passive SUB (ie 5.1), in which the sound was much better (always in compliance with the price-performance ratio 300-500 ). Probably the main focus is now on the computer technical gimmicks and the trappings, but certainly not the sound. Have all returned.
