The only reason this system doesn’t get Five stars is because it doesn’t decode DTS no biggy now but next year the next generation consoles will come out and ps2 and the next Nintendo console will be DTS exclusive, most likely pro logic two as well. As well, when a dvd player is connected via RCA cables, the max volume gets deafening enough, but you can not push it for more. I haven’t tried to hook up the dvd player via coaxial digital input, that may help with the volume level. As well, I have heard that by purchasing better speaker wire like 16 gauge may help you pump up the volume. I wouldnt recommend this for a living room. You have to use up at least 300 to get something deafening enough for a bigger room buy a Yamaha, theyre awesome. But, for a bedroom or apartment or dorm room, this is pretty good. A nice feature with this unit is the capability to replace speaker wires and speakers. Many cheaper systems under 200 have wires built into the speakers like the Sony 420 watt HDDw660’s subwoofer. I should also note that on the most pwerful bass setting, this system thumps nearly also as my yamaha but not quite. For a test dvd I usually use the following 3: 1the beach sequence of Saving Private Ryan every time an artillery shell drops on the beach, my subwoofer producers a nice deafening boom, and the camera shakes.Now to me, it is timed so perfectly it is nearly as if my subwoofer booming is what is making the camera shake, nice touch here, the costly Sharp sdat1000 500 list price can not produce bass like this, 2 Black Hawk Down rangers and delta entering ‘the Mog’. It is awesome to hear “RPG!” being yelled then FEELING the bass from my sub. The end of this movie is good for testing bass, go to the part where the Little Birds are doing their straffing runs all night long, its great, 3 The Eye a little recognized Japanese horror movie that has the creepiest audio in any movie ever, forget the Ring, forget the Grudge. I use the part at the beginning with the old lady in the hallway saying ‘im freezing’, its pretty awesome on this surround system and its comparable to my yamaha sorta. Bottom line, if you may be able to live without DTS decoding, this is a good system for only around 150 or so.
I should note that this system just feels and looks well made, particularly when in comparison to other cheaper systems. The speakers seem as if they’re built well and have a nice weight to them, they dont feel cheap and plasticy. The receiver looks quality. It has oodles of inputs and outputs. All cheaper surround systems have to skimp someplace. This RCA system only skimps on DTS decoding and max volume level which should be rectified with bigger wires. Most cheaper systems skimp on inputs/outputs and the quality of the speaker package Sony, Sharp, etc.. I’d much rather have a system that lacks DTS and doesnt go to “blow my speakers” volume level.

Great Buy,

I had read all the reviews before putting my order for this RCA Surround Sound system. In spite of the not many negative remarks that are there, the nice price and product image compelled me to give it a attempt. I’m happy to say that I have now set up the unit in my home and the performance surely exceeds my expectations. My opinion is as follows:
As I had suspected, it does get a bit complicated to properly connect many parts that have different capacities requiring different kinds of cables optical and part video, DTS, digital coaxial, versus analog audio, etc.To this and Truthfully any other Surround system, so the negative reviewers may just have had bad setups. You can not generally easily tell because this RCA will work, to many extent, if it isn’t properly set up and the user manual is rather indistinct on many complex issues.
Additionally, there are two minor drawbacks:
1. The receiver doesn’t have any part Video jacks so I had to get S Video cables, unless you own costly HDTv or Plasma, etc, from which you could want top performance, S Video technology works just good and still offers a much better picture than the standard coaxial cables.
2. There’s only one headset jack and it is in the front of the receiver. Since I use a wireless sound cancelling headset all the time, I had to get an adapter to make the Audio L & R fit into the one micro jack. For people who have to connect more than one headset, they had adaptors splitters for that also. Though the adaptor only cost about $4 at Radio Shack, I could have favored to see more than one headset jack, and at least one on the rear of the unit as wireless headsets have their own wireless receivers that must be connected and I do not find front panel jacks particluarly attractive/decorative on anything.
The only other issue was that the video cable that has been supposed to be included in the box missed and I hate repackaging and returning this kind of item because it could be a big hassle. To my pleaseant surprise, now resolved the problemthat’s the great service we shop here forand I just went and bought a cable at Sears.
Overall, considering the $145 price that will include speakers and cables, the working features, and the quality sound of this unit in comparison to other units that are two or three times as costly and up I give this product four stars. One star was subtracted for the inadequacies of the user manual and the missing cable.
In closing, the missing features portrayed above may really be blessings for those who live in apartments or who have peripheral equipment/components that are more than some months old, because, unless you live in a football field, you most probably don’t need a 1000 watt system, and if your TV and DVD player don’t come with optical video, etc., having those features on your surround receiver will most probably only make everything malfunction or fail to function completely.

Endless problems.,

By ,John Reiser See all my reviews
I bought one of these and had to return it because the unit could freeze while playing or could refuse to turn on. I found through an internet search that many people have had this problem. I afterward bought the RCA RT2390 and it’s nearly the same unit, with a better subwoofer and no receiver problems.
