at first, I loved it. good quality sound, low price, easy hook up.
Weakness:
it stopped working just after the one-year warranty ran out! as another reviewer stated, it started going out after a static-like shorting noise; after a few minutes it would work. now it doesnt work at all and I'm stuck with it. don't buy this unless you get an extended warranty. |

Sounded Okay
Weakness:
Broke after 4 months. Rca service centers wont fix it. So I got the scematics and am trying to chase down the problem. Sounds good, but some units may be defective if so many other people are having the same problem. |

Strength:
Lots of Inputs for a good bedroom theater
Weakness:
Remote Sucks for other devices except for RCA Unit Not too shabby for a bedroom set. Got it to replace the Magnvox that after many years died. Using it in a 12 X 12 room with a 27" Sony results in GREAT sound. Similar Products Used: Magnavox 891 PRO |

Weakness:
haven't found any yet! To summarize is difficult for this system. Extremely good value at this price point. Has features that aren't found even at higher prices. One thing to note is that they're are two models that have similar numbers, there is an RT2250 and an RT2250R. The difference being that the RT2250R is just the receiver. The RT2250 is a complete system with six speakers. There also is a slight difference in the receiver. The RT2250R does not have the built in 100 watt amp for the sub and the output for the sub is via coax connector. The sound for DVD movies is excellent. Audio for music is acceptable but, if you "play it loud" then you may want to get larger more expensive speakers than the RCA's. For most people the sound is very good. As stated in other reviews it is feature rich in every way. A previous reviewer listed a weakness "lack of Dolby Digital and DTS" which is not true! |

Strength:
none
Weakness:
everything I had mine for 19 days then returned it. I hated it, the sound sucked and I found myself pulling out my hair at the lack of dts and Dolby digital. I hate this reciever and strongly dissuade people from buying it. Spend the extra $100 and go get a JVC for an eco. price, there is way more value there.
