Pros: I live in an apartment so I can't use super loud volume levels. This fills my 12 x 24 living room nicely and at normal listening volumes I can still hear music fine in my bedroom or kitchen. Music also sounds nice at very low background levels. Movies sound better then they did on my now defunct H-K 320R. Setup was surprisingly easy, though you do need to look at the manual as some things are not all that intuitive. For example, setting HDMI to pass through to the TV when the receiver is turned off. The remote is nice. I can't imagine anyone missing the on screen display of the higher end models, you really don't need it at all. Look at the price of it right now - with $100 gift certificate I can't imagine a better bargain. I never see these on sale anywhere else, they always seem to go for $329.

Cons: I had a difficult time trying to find a con, but here's one. The first time I switched from DVD to FM tuner the sound was so loud it almost blew me out of my chair! After adjusting some settings that doesn't happen any longer, but I still lower the volume before I switch now. And if you turn the receiver off, it takes a second or two for it to start passing audio and video to the tv. No big deals, though, and I would guess it's typical of source switching on anything.

Overall Review: I bought one of these for my sister a few weeks ago and was so impressed with it that I bought one for myself to replace my dead H-K 320R. I'm running it to a Samsung 4051D TV and a pair of Infinity Entra One fronts and an Entra One center and 2 cheap rear surrounds and augmenting with a Yamaha subwoofer. I couldn't be happier with it and my sister is loving hers, too!

Pros: These move a LOT of air. I could likely use one of them as a window fan is the summer and feel the airflo on the other side of the room. The LEDs are nice and bright if that matters to you. They come with a molex adapter - another plus! They are incredibly cheap! I was surprised to get someting that spins for this price! currently have 2 of them in the front of my Antec 300 case.

Cons: They sound like a freaking Piper Cub flying through my living room! The screws are, as stated previously, horrendous to screw in. If my case didn't have removable fan bays I think I would have just chucked them outright and gone with something else. I still might - the noise level is like something I've never experienced with case fans before

Pros: Fabulous sound for apartment dwellers! I've had a pair of these as my front speakers with a matching center for around a year and I've enjoyed them enough that I bought another pair to use as surrounds. Can't beat the price, especially with Newegg periodically blowing them out for 199.99 a pair!. Using the new pair as rear surround really fills out the sound in my living room. :o)

Cons: Look at them carefully when setting them up! I thought I had one bad speaker, but it wasn't bad at all. What had happened is that the backplate behind the speaker wire rotated away from the caps you attach tyhe wires to, ans as a result only a little static came out of that speaker. I loosened the cap and pushed the backplate under the terminal where it belonged and then wonderful sound came out. And I wouldn't take a star off for that, it was no big deal at all, and the fix was less then a minute.

Pros: Wrong feature set for me - I wouldn't be able to use it since it has no digital tuner. I can't give it a star because it has no use for me at all, but I wanted to provide some info that might resolve some of the problems people who this product fills a niche for them that might make their problems go away.

Cons: This should work fine for people that have cable or dish or whatever source other than FREE over the air broadcasts. Useless for me, because I refuse to pay 30 bucks a month for stuff I can watch on over the air broadcasts for free. WTH do manufacturers make stuff like this and ignore including a digital tuner? Are they so greedy that they not only want to make themselves wealthy but also cable providers? Are they partners or something?

Overall Review: If you're having trouble with the correct aspect ratio, you should set it to record in 480i or, if you have to, 480p. Anything higher will be screwy to get it to work right. If that resolution sounds low to you, that's what just about all standard definition DVDs that you buy in the store are, unless you buy Blu-Ray. Higher resolution is likely screwing up being able to finalize your dvd as well. If you can, record your stuff at 480i one time and see how crisp it is anyway. Most of my blue-ray discs are only slightly crisper than their standard def equivalents. I know this because sometime I rent both from netflis to see if there is a difference.

Pros: I've had a pair of Monitor60s in the front for about a month. After they were nicely broken in, my old center channel (an Infinity Entra One) sounded kind of muddy. Said center channel sounded great with the Entra One bookshelf speakers I had, but were a tonal mismatch for the brighter sounding Polks. The new CS1 goes fabulously with the Monitor60s!

Cons: None, really. It's big, but smaller ones don't sound as good/

Overall Review: I have tiny, cheap rear surround but the front & center Polks fill the room enough that I don't know if I'll bother replacing them.

Pros: No need to install D-Link programs - all you need is the driver. After installing the card and turning the computer on, go to device manager and find it as an unknown device. Put the CD that came with the adapter in the cd drive and cancel autorun. Open the properties for the unknown device in device manager and click to update the driver. Select that you want to search manually and Browse to the Win 7 directory on the cd. It'll find a driver in a few seconds and will be ready to set up. I expect it's as easy to set up in 95/98/Vista as well.

Cons: None so far, except I bought this locally instead of through newegg because I needed it the same day for my sister's new build and it cost me 10 bucks more.

Overall Review: After the device is properly installed, you still might not be able to connect. For example, I had to change the properties of the network connection to WPA-2 with AES encrytion to match my router settings. My sister is thrilled with it, it's scads faster then her old 54G adapter.
