I bought this system to replace my old 5.1 speaker setup since I am living in an apartment. I was told that the speakers were shielded. They are not. I put one speaker on each side of the TV (very close to the tv) and the speaker created terrible distortion on my television. The colors became seriously distorted. I returned the product for a refund. Don’t buy this product if you want the speakers anywhere near your television.

The unit will stop recognizing DVDs in a few months. There is no fix for this. Do not buy this unit if you want to use it as a DVD player.

I probably had this system about 6 months when it quit recognizing DVD’s as others have reported. Just about the time to lose track of receipts and packing material. I had another DVD player so I just wrote it off to experience. It just occurred to me to return here and post this review for other potential buyers.

Nice looking unit–though gloss black housing is prone to fingerprints. I had this unit about a week and then it ate one of my NetFlix DVD’s. I called Philips support who could not help me and recommended I take the unit to a local electronics store to remove the DVD. Called netflix instead and they said they wouldn’t charge me. Returned unit for refund. Aside from faulty slot design, there was a minor hiss in speakers and subwoofer seemed to put out almost no sound at all. Overall sound quality was pretty good, but nothing great. Never experienced any evidence of simulated surround sound.

You must try this for yourself. great Sound, and enough bass from Subwoofer
500 watts, and you hear the sound from the side of your ears. Because of the shape of the speakers. Sound bounces off walls. Who cares about speakers behind you in a 5.1 system. In a movie theater there are only side speakers, two on each side.
