Onkyo ht-s3500 Reviews /by wc

System was easy to set up and performs very well for the price. Sounds great in our small living room. Lots of features for the price too. It's a good system for anyone that is new to surround sound and doesn't want to break the bank. It may sound trivial but I do wish they could have included a clock on the display face. If it has one I haven't been able to find it. Also, there is no real instruction manual in the packaging, but it does have a pdf formated cd-rom for pc. You might not even need to use it though because it has a very nice setup screen that overlays your tv picture that is fairly easy to use. I only set it all up about a week ago but so far I'm very happy with it.

Sony htss380 Reviews/ by Thomas

As someone else has already pointed out, the speaker cables have proprietary ends. The cables cannot be lengthened without splicing. Fortunately for me, my new theater room is small so the cables from the rear speakers are just long enough to snake around door jams etc.
The HDMI cable connects from the Blueray player to the Theater and another one from the Theater to the TV. It all integrates well as they are all Sony Bravia.
The sound is fantastic! I needed to turn the bass response way down as it is overpowering in my small room. What a differance from the TV speakers.
