Philips 1000-watt 5.1 DVD Home Theater System (Refurb)

Not bad for the money. The high sounds are pristine. But I like a little more base during bombs in games and explosions in movies. Adjusting the sounds is cumbersome.

The box was beat up a bit when it got here. Factory refurbished might be a bit of a stretch. It was packed in bubble wrap, and not styrofoam. Most of the iPod adapters were missing. Luckily I had mine that came with the iPod Touch. The case of the receiver was abit scratched, and the fabric on the sub woofer was a little worn. Otherwise, it sounds great. and has been performing just fine. Knock on wood.

I bought this well over a year ago. Did not look any different than new. Everything was there. I set it up according to the directions and I am not a handy person. I bought it strictly for my dance room use (iPod and records) and it has worked great. Since then, my son, blast him, has used it when he can get away with it. It is currently be used as TV surround and sounds great. However, the iPod dock no longer works and really can't figure out why.

Bought this about less than a month ago. Hard to set up initially especially if you have an older TV. Surround sound works fine but the DVD player worked only once! Now I have to go through all the hassle of returning it. It was a good deal and it would have done a great job for its purpose if it only worked. Very disappointed!
