"Excellent Quality for the Money"
Pros: Great Sound
Cons: On Screen Display
Summary: I have been researching this product for quite sometime now, but haven't really been able to find too many user opinions and/or reviews on this product. After a lot of deliberation - I just decided to go with it!
I've now had the system up in running my living room for nearly three weeks... and I have nothing but good things to say. The upconverting dvd player works great and the sound is amazing! Buying the entire system as a whole saved me a lot of money and this system blows other HTIBs away. It is also very comparable to many component systems that I have heard in the past!!
The setup was fairly easy, though if you're not used to all of the wires that go along with a 7.1 system - you could be a bit overwhelmed. I cannot however, comment on the quality of wires that came with the system because I opted to use my own.
The only two drawbacks to this system that I have come across are:
One, for some reason I am having trouble with the on screen menu. I have read though, that when using hdmi - the on screen menu will not appear (a little annoying in my book, but not a major problem by any means).
And second - the speakers are fairly large (6-5/16"W x 13-3/8"H x 3-11/16"D). My wife isn't a huge fan of the right/left surround speakers due to their size and placement - however, I did get the onkyo speaker stands and it definitely added a nicer look to the overall appearance. The front speakers, however, look excellent next to my 46" lcd.
Also - it is possible to get a good deal on this system with stands included (I payed $800 for both the system and one pair of onkyo stands off amazon - and most places want $150 just for the stands!).
Overall, if you want to spend less than a thousand dollars for a system with quality - I would strongly suggest looking at the Onkyo HT-S907!!

For the OSD menu to appear you have to plug the s-video cable (the one provided) from the receiver (monitor out) to the tv.
