Categories > Home Theater in a Box > Panasonic > Panasonic SC-BTT196 5.1 Channel Home Theater System with Blu-ray Player

Rating + 1Rating + 1Rating + 1Rating + 1Rating + 1 DO NOT BUY REFURBISHED FROM SOHNEN
Pros: No Pros
Cons: Sohnen has the worst customer service in history. Please do not buy from them, in my opinion they misrepresent the products and don't keep their word with replacing defective products. Use at your own peril.

Categories > Home Theater in a Box > Onkyo > ONKYO HT-S3500 5.1-Channel Home Theater System

Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5 Great complete surround sound
Pros: Extremely easy set up and comes with everything needed. I am still using the wire that came with, but might not be a bad idea to get some different speaker wire. Sounds good and has a good volume range.
Cons: This might be my remote, but there are times when the remote would turn the unit on/off or be able to switch between the different sound types. Not a huge deal for me, and might be an issue with just my remote.
Other Thoughts: I have it hooked up to a xbox and blu-ray player. Games and movies along with TV all sound great. Would recommend for sure.

Categories > Home Theater in a Box > Philips > PHILIPS HTS3306/F7 Blu-ray Home Theater System

Rating + 1Rating + 1Rating + 1Rating + 1Rating + 1 Get remote from Philips
Pros: None. Never had a chance to evaluate.
Cons: I was sent a unit without appropriate Philips remote twice. I was furious Newegg sent me the same thing the second time when I asked explicitly for Philips original remote and speakers and subwoofer. Without a Philips remote, the substitute remote does not work according to Philips people. Some people may consider making it work, but not a choice for me.
Other Thoughts: I want people there who are willing to make it work to know that you can get a Philips remote from Philips. Call Philips USA and demand it in their warranty period, you'll get one or exchange for a unit with one. Philips people explicitly told me that the "3 in 1" generic remote does not work with the system.

I initially blamed Newegg for posting fake product. I called Philips to verify the product and warranty. I think most of the blame should be Philips'. Philips offered me a new remote. But they did not answer my question about the extended warranty. They also told me that the insignia on the subwoofer may just came off, which is of course not true. Even though it's not important to have the insignia as long as the speakers work, I returned the unit to Newegg for a refund.

Newegg had promptly addressed my concerns the second time. They had apologized for their oversight and elevated the issue to higher levels. They had offered me a store credit. I switched to purchase a Sony system instead. Hope Sony will not disappoint me.

I'm OK with Newegg's service now but still value this system as poor. A new Philips remote for this model cost $40, thus reducing 40% value of the unit. Even though you can get one from Philips, it's simply too much hassle for a new purchase. The refurbished unit does not have that much a price break to justify the trouble.

When you call Philips, you immediately know why they substitute the parts with generic cheap one. I was told that they are short on the remote, "back ordered for weeks". Nonetheless, you should press for exchange or a new remote. I think it's fraud to sell worthless substitute parts as refurbished item. Everyone buying this deserves a Philips original working remote.

I did not have a chance to test the speakers. But I think they are relatively low tech and a substitute could easily work. The build of the substitute speakers is of better quality than the apparent fraudulent remote.

I'm satisfied with Newegg but not Philips. Selling cheap substitute parts as refurbished is fraud and unethical business model.

Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5 ONKYO HT-S9400THX 7.1-Channel THX Certified Network Home Theater System
Pros: I bought a Samsung System from HH Greg before I saw this item. I returned Samsung and bough this system. The package was delivered on time, no missing items, everything as described on the web site. It is easy to instal and configure. It gives my family the actual feeling of watching a movie in the theater! We have watched so many movies in the last couple of weeks! It is a great system
Cons: Nothing

Categories > Home Theater in a Box > LG ELECTRONICS > LG BH4120S 5.1 Blu-Ray Home Cinema System

Rating + 2Rating + 2Rating + 2Rating + 2Rating + 2 No digital output
Pros: Great blu-ray player, and surround sound works for blu-ray and fm.
Cons: Lousy home theater system, due to having only composite audio out, nothing digital. My flat screen has spdif output, which is useless with this LG system. Using headphone out, I can only use left and right speakers, no surround sound.
Other Thoughts: Wish I had researched this item more thoroughly.
