We bought this system on impluse as we'd been having problems with our old surround system having too many parts/pieces.  This one unit is a dream.

Terrific sound with easy controls make this system the best when paired with the TV, multi-CD player, and the cable box.

 The only complaint I have is that the buttons on the remote are too small and aren't laid out well. Also, with the complex operation of the different functions, finding a universal remote is impossible.  And I couldn't get the box to work with our TV remote for a one remote system.

Yes, the remote situation is a bit awkward, but...
