Strength:

DTS Decoding. Decent, but cheap, speakers. Decent power. Great for low-budget, small Home Theater room.

Weakness:

Remote is way too small and only controls other Kenwood products. With included passive sub, at higher volumes the sudden bas hits would send amp into protect mode.

Good system for the money. The speakers: Decent for a start, but you will want to replace them eventually, at least the sub, center, and fronts. So far I have replaced the centr and added a powered sub, and the system really sounds great. Of course, there are better sounding systems, but not for this money. One probelm: With included passive sub, at higher volumes the sudden bas hits would send amp into protect mode. Replaced sub with a powered sub, and problem went away. I chose this system becuse we were on a tight budget, and this one provided DTS decoding. I would reccomend this (or the current model like it) to anyone who wants a second system, or a decent system on a budget.

Strength:

cheap

Weakness:

no bass, hums

This unit stinks; just after warranty ran out it began to hum like a champ. The hum is audible even at low volume. Didn't have bass from day one...cheap mini system from walmart has far superior sound.

Strength:

Excelent value!

Weakness:

None really.

This is a solid performing home theatre, especially for the price.

I bought this system on a tight budget and I am wowed by the sound, this is an excelent sounding system for music and the DTS and Dolby Digital are great for your DVDs.

I use it in conjunction with the Kenwood DV-505 DVD changer.

I would highly reccomend this product.

Strength:

Value, receivers

Weakness:

Satellite speakers

I bought it for a friend.
Pretty good price for the money. The receiver alone
costs that much. The subwoofer is reasonable. The surround
speakers are OK for movie.
Substitute with 2 inexpensive/good front main speakers
such as the Sears' Jensen JP1200 and one gets a excellent
system for $249 + $80 = $329.
