Great product, great sound, cheap

Pros: Sound, features/price

Cons: Lack of s-video and component

Review: This is really a great deal for an entry-level sound system. It was really easy to setup and the results were great! The speakers are small, but pack a relative punch compared to others. I would recommend this system to anyone looking for a cheap home-theatre system.
