Kenwood HTB 707DV - home theater system - radio / DVD (discontinued)

Kenwood HTB 707DV - home theater system - radio / DVD

Entered CNET Catalog: 07/31/2004

SKU: HTB-707DV

Manufacturer: Kenwood USA

Manufacturer description

The HTB-707DV is packed with the latest features and technonogies, delivering complete home theater performance and value in a package that's simple to set up and use. The single-disc DVD player's progressive scan video output delivers incredibly realistic video images on HD-ready TVs and monitors. Besides playing DVD-video discs and standard CDs, it also plays the WMA- and MP3-encoded CD-R/RW discs you make on your computer, and will even display JPEGs from photo CDs. The powerful receiver (100 Watts x 6 channels) is the system's command center, and features Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES 6.1-channel surround sound that uses a third surround channel and speaker (included) to make surround effects more realistic than ever. The HTB-707DV is also perfect for reproducing your music. Dolby Pro Logic IIx transforms your ordinary stereo music sources into 6.1-channel surround sound. Active EQ tailors the receiver's electronics to precisely match the system's speakers, so your music (as well as a movie's dialogue and sound effects) is faithfully reproduced. All six of the system's speakers are sonically matched to deliver a realistic surround soundfield that puts you right in the middle of the action. The powered subwoofer features a built-in 100-watt amplifier and 6-1/2" driver in a ported enclosure, pumping-out thunderous bass. The included remote controls the receiver and DVD player.

Very good HTIB

Pros: Good sound for the price, lots of features (Dolby Digital EX, Pro Logic IIx, DTS EX)

Cons: Receiver is big, instructions could be better

Review: For around $400, this is a very good system for the money. I like that it includes 6 speakers, along with many surround sound formats. Speakers are nice and small, and sound very good. DVD player is very good also.
