Best Uses
"This is a good solution for someone looking for a quick and easy home theater fix. The Onecall price is what sold me. If I had the money, I would have gotten a receiver separate from the speakers. That way, I could have a receiver with true 7.1 surround sound. The way this receiver works is the audio is connected from your source (ie dvd player) via component or optical cable. These connections can only handle 5.1 surround. Since this receiver only has hdmi pass though, none of the audio is transferred to the system speakers via hdmi(only to your television speakers).
Pros: In all, the value of this system is what sold me. The speakers are very good and I liked that it came with an iPod dock and a setup microphone (for calibrating the speakers--saves a lot of time at setup).
Cons: I wish the hdmi wasn't pass-though so that true 7.1 surround could be played. The speakers have an antiquated wall mount and there is no mount option for a ceiling. Also, Onkyo needs to do something about the receiver's energy consumption. I connected the receiver to an energy test and it uses about $3.50 of energy per month when the unit is OFF. That's using my utility rates in MA. There's no need for this to use ANY energy when it is off! Yes, that isn't much money, but it is senseless power consumption. So, if you don't want it to use energy when off, unplug it or plug into a switched outlet so you can disconnect if from the power when not in use."
