Pros: I really like the HT-S3200 Home Theater, it is my first home theater system and it really does everything that I needed. It has 3 HDMI In, Composite, Component, and S-Video. It can take any Video input that you have! It also has 3 Digital Audio Inputs that can be assigned to any of the many video inputs. Speakers sound crisp and clear and the max volume is more that I will ever use, even though the power of 660 Watts is a lower number than many others. I gave this 5 eggs because it can handle any input format (including HDMI) and it sounded better than anything that I listened to in an all-in-one receiver/speaker home theater in a box.

Cons: The receiver is a little bit larger than I had hoped. It has no fans (pro because it is quite) but it did get warm inside my TV stand (con). Had to drill lots of air holes in the back of the stand to let the hot air out and keep it cool. Also when you turn it on or off it makes a really loud clicking noise of a relay closing or opening. For some reason, the Center Speaker is rounded on the bottom side, and does not have a flat surface. With the volume all of the way up, and the floor shaking, and the speaker began to rock forward and back. Rubber stickers for feet are included, and once I put them on the speaker did not move.

Overall Review: All of the video inputs are pass through, so if you connect HDMI in, you will only get HDMI out, if you connect Component in, you will get component out, there is no format conversion. You cannot connect only 1 Video Out from the receiver to the TV, you must connect wires in and out for each format that you use. My DVD player is HDMI, and my cable tuner is component, so I need 2 HDMI cables (in and out) and 2 component cable sets (in and out). To switch to DVD I have to change the HT-S3200 from Cable to DVD AND I have to change the TV from Component to HDMI. This is not a Con because I did not find any other high end receivers that do Format Switching, most will not.

Pros: It does everything it's supposed to do, has everything it's supposed to have - and looks good while doing it. A lot of little tweaks you can do to make the sound adjust to your taste. Sound is clear and speakers are small, yet powerful.

Cons: Like everyone has been saying, HDMI pass-through. This means that if you have an XBOX 360, and you connect it to the receiver with an HDMI cable, then connect the receiver to the TV with another HDMI cable, you WILL NOT GET SOUND, JUST VIDEO. I knew this before buying, so I worked around this by running an HDMI cable from my 360 to the TV, then an optical cable from the TV to the receiver. All sound from the TV goes to the receiver now. (All cables from the Wii go to the TV, so I just need the one optical audio cable from the TV to the receiver. Saves cables and space!) Don't look for thumping bass - subwoofer is passive, not powered by an external AC adapter. It delivers a decent amount, but don't expect to shake the walls.

Overall Review: Overall - GREAT for the price, a great entry level system, would buy again.

Pros: -Useful sound enhancement modes -Great sub woofer -Loud and clear -Tons of options to tweak and get the sound dialed in to the environment -Very well packed from the factory (will reach you safely)

Cons: -Front channel speaker cables way too short (7-8') -Didn't sound that great at factory settings (after tweaking the difference was like night and day) - may be my odd room configuration -Must press "receiver" button before "X" to get into most options. Gets annoying after a while during setup.

Overall Review: Don't be duped by the other home theater in a box systems. I've had 2 of these prior to this Onkyo (RCA and Pioneer) both were rated at 1000 watts and neither reached the volume and clarity of this system. The Pioneer has a sub rated at 230 watts while the Onkyo's is rated at 130. The Onkyo sub blows the others out of the water! Be sure to set this system up properly before judging it. I was almost bummed out after first firing it up. I recommend calibrating the distance of the speakers from the listening position, set the front channel crossover to the small speaker setting (factory is set to large), and most importantly turn on the Audyssey EQ. Crank the DB level to the sub to +5 for music Leave it at 0 for movies, but crank the center channel up a bit for voice clarity in 5.1 DVDs I'm very happy with this system. I caught myself listening to a ton of music I don't even like just to hear how great it sounds on this system. Newegg Got it here the day after I ordered it.

Pros: Good sound at a great price. 3 HDMI inputs. Quiet running.

Cons: Does not pull sound from HDMI (pass thru only)

Overall Review: I have had the system for a couple of months and it has worked out great. It would be better if is would pull the audio out from the HDMI pass thru, but not a huge deal you just need to have some optical sound cables too. The center channel speaker is kind of rounded, but by using the supplied foam stickers it is easily leveled, just not the best engineering. Overall I would definitely recommend this system if you are looking for a very good system at a great price.

Pros: - Inexpensive - Attractive glossy black finished speakers - High quality and trusted brand name - Front, surround, and center speakers are matched very well - Receiver does HDMI Passthrough (3-1) - Nice remote - Well packaged - Zone B capability - EXCELLENT SOUND QUALITY FOR THE PRICE!!!

Cons: - Passive subwoofer, not powered (No AC adapter needed) so the bass is very weak compared to my other room with a powered Infiniti sub / Onkyo SR706 (apples and oranges?) - Only 2 optical inputs. 1 digital coax - No signal upconvert or HDMI audio decode, just pass-through - 5 channel and not 7 - No room calibration mic included

Overall Review: Great home theater in a box for the price. No this system can't compete with a high end system with a better receiver, but for someone looking to get a nice sounding system for a low price, this is a great buy. I got this for an apartment living room with a mid-range Samsung LCD and the combo is great for the size of the room. Be sure to do your research before you buy. This system does not decode audio from HDMI. No PCM decoding. It also doesn't upconvert signals. If you connect a component signal to the receiver, you'll need to connect the output component on the receiver to the TV. Same for HDMI. My only real complaint is that the receiver only has 2 optical inputs. To make it worse, one is labeled for CD and the other for CBL/SAT. So I want to use the optical out from my component cable for a 360, but I also use optical for my cable tv audio. So when I switch my 360 on, the receiver displays "CD". I'd rather see "Video1" "Video2" "HDMI1" etc. Good buy overall. Recomm

Pros: Lots of and variety of Inputs, Very good sound. Fairly priced.

Cons: Little bulky, doesn't pass sound over hdmi.

Overall Review: This is mt first HT. Was bit worried because of the new model and no reviews. But onkyo brand pushed me to buy it. I would have liked Front set of speakers in a bit smaller size! Does a fine job. Audio passthrough over hdmi is not really a big deal for me because those extra cable stay within the AV cabinet. Haven't played a lot with sound options a lot but out of the box works great! Subwoofer does an excellent job.

Pros: Full function receiver, reasonably priced, good sound but need to replace small front speakers with a set of high quality speakers to get decent quality sound.

Cons: Sound is a bit tinny with the small front speakers

Pros: Great sound. Not just for the money, but great sound, period. I am amazed at how good they sound considering their size and price. If you need big sound on a small budget, this is it.

Cons: Wires for surround speakers are too short.

Overall Review: Everything blends together well. Speakers are clear. Sub is not overpowering. The 5.1 really surrounds you with sound. System is balanced.
