"GET ME OUT OF THIS UNIT!!!!!"
Pros: Size vs sound Quality, Very sleek on my shelf as an All-in-One device
Cons: DEPENDABILITY!
Summary: When I first purchased this system I was amazed and thrilled. I knew it wasn't a 5.1, but due to my location of the unit I had very little alternatives. The sound quality was good for what I expected for the cost. Base seemed a little low in comparison to the mid and high output. However, soon after purchase I had to exchange the unit for a new one. The first unit would not play sound with my DVR without unplugging the system and rebooting several times. The next unit developed the same problem. Bose quickly sent me a software upgrade that fixed this problem. Several months later the DVD drive began acting up. NO DISC messages and eternal READING DISC messages became my fight to play any DVD. Bose once again reparied/replaced the unit quickly. I have no problems with Bose or the past Bose equipment I have owned. I like the concept, I like the sound received for the money, I am not happy with multiple problems in under 1 year. Additionally, for a manufacturer to be able to sell this unit as refurb's in a wholeseller such as Sam's Club, buyers must beware of potential problems.

If the unit being commented on here is a refurbished unit, that should be made abundantly clear. I'm inferring from the comment on availability of refurbished units at Sam's Club that this is where this unit was obtained. I believe reviews here should be for new, not refurbushed units.
