I spent quite a bit of time searching for a quality HTIB system that would provide not only excellent quality...but at a reasonable price point. I came across this system after hearing excellent reviews for Onkyo home theater components. I would say that I am absolutely thrilled with the way this system performs. I am very hard to please, especially when it comes to clarity of the speakers and the bass output of the sub. I would have to say this system performs well beyond my expectations! The treble is crystal clear and the bass rumbles. The system also has superb sound seperation between the speakers providing an engulfing surround sound experience.
I previosly owned a Pioneer HTIB and one of it's major flaws was that lack of adequate connectivity. This Onkyo system certainly shines in that department.
The system is also very attractive and works well with any decor. The subwoofer in particular looks gorgeous.

Excellent system especially on a tight budget like me. Also I read on other sites that it doesnt work on motorola set up boxes. Well I have FIOS that uses a motorola box and it works for me.Ensure that you have latest firmware. One drawback it uses only HDMI pass thru. Just run a coaxical or optical cable and you are fine. Also use hdmi as much as possible. It sounds and looks better

Wow.I have always been a Onkyo fan but never a HTIB fan.Until now.I spent a lot of time looking for a great system for under $500.00. This is the one I picked.I am so pleased.I have only used it with the ipod so far and not movies since I am waiting for my tv.So far I must say. You are crazy if you do not buy this system. I can not believe how this sounds from being in one box.I am speachless.I have read many reviews from other sites and anything negative is BS. The only thing I found negative was there was not any speaker wall mounts. NO big deal.If that is all I could find wrong oh well.Great sound and bass.If you want a complete home theater in a box then this is the one. Again I have looked at a bunch. I would buy another if I needed it. I hope this helps you. I seen a review saying that the sub did not kick in for a long time after the sound was on. That is not true.As soon as the sound kick in the sub went on.For $400.00 and what you get you can not go wrong

Purchased this recently due to an older JVC model's lack of HDMI switching. HDMI is passthru, so don't expect it to carry sound to your surround speakers (it does however carry sound to the TV). Just run a digital coax or optical and you are all set. Sound is great. I now have the DVD player, HD Sat box, WII, and Ipod all hooked up for surround . Set up was quite easy, but plan to have some longer cords if your run is more than 3 feet. Tiger had the best price by a long shot and got two AS-240 stands included (liked them so much I ordered two more today).
If you are satisfied with 5.1, don't have an fat wallet, and want good sound, buy now.
What Is
High Definition And How Is It Different From Standard Definition?
High Definition or "HD" is a
technological leap forward from standard definition, with up to 6x the
picture resolution, so that what you see is sharper and more realistic. Regular TVs and the TV channels you watch
at home are typically in standard definition (unless you watch HD channels).
DVD are also in standard definition. Standard definition (480i & 480p)
is lower quality than high definition. Many older TV sets are standard
def, and can only show standard def content (programming). Many new
TVs are called High Definition TVs (HDTV). They are capable of showing
high def content in: 720p, 1080i, and 1080p, all high definition
formats, but 1080p provides the highest picture quality of them all. Click

How To Protect Your HDTV And Make It All
Work!
You've bought your ideal television or home
theater, but have you considered how you will protect it, or make it all
work together? It's not as complex as it might seem, but it is
important to consider, since devices may work differently, and have
incompatible modes. Plus after investing in your hardware, bad things
can happen to damage them.
MOST IMPORTANT: SURGE
PROTECTION If you have a
computer, you know all about surge suppressors and battery back-up UPS
devices. But do you have a UPS for your HDTV and Home Theater
system? HDTVs and Home Theater systems are just as susceptible to
surge and power damage as computers, so it is critical you add a very good
surge suppressor or UPS to your setup at once! Plus if you have a UPS, you'll be able to watch TV or listen to music if the power goes off! (for as long as the battery lasts of course!)
CONTROLLING IT ALL: ADVANCED
REMOTE CONTROLS Almost
every device you have came with a remote control, some even are called
Universal Remote Controls. But every device, HDTV, or Home Theater
component has special features and functions, not supported by the generic
Universal Remotes, especially if you want "One Button" control of several
devices at once. For these you need Advanced Remote Controls, that
not only control everything, but reduce it all down to One Button tasks
that even a Cave Man could operate!
GOT HELP? GET AN
INSTALLATION & SETUP SERVICE With some of
today's HDTV and Home Theater systems, you may want to consider getting
expert help from certified technicians that can quickly install your HDTV
on your wall, hide the cables and wires, balance the display settings and
the 7.1 surround sound, for the maximum in sound and picture quality.
You can still tell your friends and family that you did it, it will just be our
secret!
GET A GUARANTEED
BUYBACK FOR YOUR HDTV Another way to
protect your investment, given the changing pace of technology, is to add a
Guaranteed Buyback to your HDTV purchase. This will guaranty the
trade-in value of your HDTV a year or two in the future, when you will be
ready to upgrade to the latest technology.
How Compatible Is HDMI?
HDMI is fully backward compatible with PCs, displays and consumer
electronics devices incorporating the Digital Visual Interface (DVI)
standard. Both HDMI and DVI were pioneered by Silicon Image and are based on
TMDS®, Silicon Image's powerful, high-speed, serial link technology. HDMI
supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel
digital audio on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and
supports 8-channel digital audio, and with 5 Gbps of bandwidth, HDMI can
accommodate future enhancements and requirements. Because HDMI was designed
specifically for consumer electronics applications, it offers an array of
additional consumer enhancements. As digital content can manifest itself in
a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, HDMI-enabled systems will
automatically configure to display content in the most effective format. In
addition, if implemented in a specific device, HDMI enables a single remote
point and click, allowing manufacturers to deliver home theater systems that
automatically configure from a single command from a remote control --
turning on or off the components necessary to view a DVD, listen to a CD, or
watch cable or satellite TV.
What is the difference between HDMI 1.3 and HDMI 1.3a, or 1.3b?
For consumers, there is no difference between HDMI version 1.3 and 1.3a or
1.3b. These minor revisions to the specification typically relate to
manufacturing or testing issues and do not impact features or functionality
in a specific product. In addition, HDMI Licensing, LLC is actively working
with manufacturers to reduce confusion for consumers by de-emphasizing
version numbers and focusing instead on product features and functionality.
How can I identify which HDMI products
support a specific feature, such as DVD Audio or Deep Color?
The key for consumers to remember is that HDMI has consistently enabled a
variety of the most innovative new technologies (whether they are DVD Audio,
SACD, 1080p/60, etc.). However, in many cases, it is up to each manufacturer
to choose which features to implement in any given product. The manufacturer
can choose the mix of features that makes sense for its customers and
products. So, customers must choose devices that have the features that they
want (instead of focusing on which version of HDMI is implemented by the
device.). Consumers interested in confirming whether a particular consumer
electronics product supports DVD-Audio or any other feature over HDMI are
urged to review users’ manuals and product reviews, or check with
manufacturers directly.
What Is Firmware Upgradeable?
Many of today's electronics product are designed for today's standards.
Yet like personal computers, they have advanced capabilities that will let
them be upgraded for use with new technologies and standards. The
ability to upgrade the firmware of an electronics product allows you to
extend the useful lifespan of the device you purchase, and be able to expect
support for many (if not all) of the emerging new standards.
What is the difference between Active HDMI and Passive HDMI?
There is no active or passive HDMI in the HDMI specification. These terms
apply to cables. Active cables have built-in electronics to enable long
cable runs, and typically these cables require a power supply. These cables
use active electronics to help push the signal farther than typical passive
cables.
