Doug, Worthing , “Sony Bravia User”

+ Great sound, good base without being "boomy". Easy to connect and set up. USB port works well even with a memory stick or external hard drive

- Lack of auxilliary audio input is a shame, ipod does not work with on screen menu via USB, bought the DM PORT dock and that works well but only via ipod screen. Great sound makes up for it though.

+ I found it to be a really high quality speaker system and i would reccomend it anyone :)
There are many good points such as that you can play music off almost anything, i was supprised that i could plug in my usb flash drive and it would play music happily of that.
Really good quality speakers, very good music wise if your into drum and bass but they will make any genre of music sound amazing!
Also there really quick and easy to set up you cant go wrong with the setting up.

- There aren't really any bad points seeing as i haven't had it for that long but the only thing i can critisize is that it didnt come with a scart lead but then again it never said it would come with one ^_^

Michael, Didcot

+ Excellent sound quality for both DVD and CD. Options for surround are great. The automatic calibration feature allows for more flexible positioning of the speakers to fit in with the rest of the room decor - chintz meets technology!

- None so far - been using this system for about a month now and have had no problems. Only down side is trying to find the time to watch all our DVDs again!
