A good and Solid Home Cinema System
Having ordered via Amazon (9 days for an express delivery!!!!)… I recommend the Philips Home Cinema System.. Very easy to set-up, although I was expecting it to connect via HDMI.. The HDMI connector is an additional accessory so initially mine connected via SCART to the TV. I note one of the other reviews stating the wireless rear speakers wiped out his home wireless, the same happened to me. However a quick look in the manual and you can choose between four wireless channels for the system and it quickly resolved my issue. I agree with the changing “source” option, a bit slow but definately not a major problem. The sound quality is good, as mentioned most people have 5:1 Digital sound DVD’s so 6:1 a nice rarity and excellent experience. Well any system will have cables and yes they need hiding, I also hid the woofer into a corner and hid as many cables as I could behind it. The system plays all the formats of CD’s MP3’s DVD’s I have and very well. Although I was going to hold out for an HD based DVD system I (perhaps like many) have an XBOX which can take HD DVD for £100 or PS3 for the BlueRay. Very pleased with the system, I recommend it.
state of the art looks and sound
Over the years I have had numerous home theatre systems but as technology improves ,I try and keep up.The Cineos system was easy to set up with all speakers being colour coded. The looks completely compliment any new lcd/plasma tv. The actual dvd player looks awesome with its touch sensitive buttons and display,It plays virtually all disc formats including picture slideshow discs. The surround sound really immerses you in the film, especially with its central rear speaker, I felt I was on the deck of the ships in Pirates of the Caribbean .The volume on each speaker can be individually controlled to suit the shape of your room. The rear speakers are connected to a wireless reciever, which saves you having to get wires from the amp/subwoofer to the other side of the room………Read more
