Lightweight & Simple
5 out of 5 stars.
I was looking at Bose and found this system to be better. It's well designed with the heavy Amp components incorporated into the Subwoofer, which sets on the floor. The Control Panel is low-profile and sets on-top of my Cable-Box. The 2 speakers set on the same shelf below my 52" TV with no install issues. Simple to install and use, VERY satisfied.

A great little DVD/Home theater system
4 out of 5 stars.
This is a great system for those who don't want or can't fit 5 speakers in their room and need a smaller system. Luckily there is little sacrificed for its small and sleek style, the sound quality is excellent (just check its specs) and it is quite powerful (I need to keep the volume low so as not to annoy my neighbors). Plus it has a very good DVD player that upconverts to 1080p, they even provide an HDMI cable and as an added bonus for those who have foreign DVDs is that it is very easy to remove the region coding, Philips kindly uses the same unlock code on all its HTS systems (just google videohelp region code and then search for one of its cousins such as the HTS6100).

The reason that I did not give it 5 stars is first it only has digital coaxial input and not Toslink input. Unfortunately both my TV and HD cable box only has optical Toslink audio output. I easily fixed this problem by getting a Toslink to coaxial converter like this one Cables To Go - 40019 - Optical To Coaxial Digital Audio Converter (make sure you get both coaxial and toslink cables). The other thing that I do not like is the placement of the built in ipod dock, which ruins the aesthetics when you dock the ipod, which just sticks out. The dock however works quite well, after a minute or so it configures itself to the ipod and you can listen to music and watch videos on your TV.
