Just like described, but not that great

It's a pretty decent system, but it does have a few flaws. The surround sound only works if you're playing a DVD, and it has to have been recorded in digital 5.1 sound. If you are watching cable TV or a DVD that was not recorded in 5.1, only 2 speakers will work, plus the sub. It also doesn't have enough component input jacks.
It is a very clean looking system and looks good once set up. The sound quality is ok, but it IS only a 400W system, so if you're expecting a wall of sound, don't buy this system.

Good for the price - speakers are undersized, however; limits ability of system to faithfully reproduce sound picture. Adequate for building system from scratch. Recommend upgrading speakers to at least 5" mid-range with 1" tweeter to provide best results...good system

Bought this for a second system so was looking for an inexpensive one. Out of the box it looks good and goes together easily except for the fact that the wires are hardwired into the backs of the speakers. This posed a problem for me as the room is larger than the wires are long. That aside the sound quality was ok. What I expected for the money. My other systen is a Bose 321 so this obviously does not compare to that. The picture is decent on DVD. The sound cannot produce enough bass to be really good, but again we are talking 100 bucks here.
Now the problems. IT DOES NOT WORK. After 1 week the sound was cutting in and out on the radio and tv modes. Only the DVD had sound then that went too. About to start the process of returning so we'll see how that goes
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Worth more than what it costs!

I was pleasantly surprised with this product. I am a bit of a name-brand freak, so, I was leery about buying a product that was Memorex. I have heard it was a low-end/generic brand. However, this is a great product that really delivers. And you cant beat the cost. Perfect for someone with a small space. While it is only a 400 watt system, it delivers excellent sound. Auxilary hookups on the back so you can hook up your cable box and get the stereo on it as well. The radio tuner works great as well. However, my favorite thing about this product is the iPod docking station. I always knew these stations would play the music in surround sound and charge your iPod, but I had no idea you could watch movies and shows from your iPod with them! And you can control the iPod with remote just as you would a DVD or a CD!
There is also a function, which is of no use to me, but parents may find this to be important, that allows you to block any profanity! I'm not sure exactly how it does this, but it can! Right when you turn it on the first time, a screen pops up with which you can opt to set this function up.
In addition to its functionality, it looks great. It has a compact design that allows it to fit anywhere without being intrusive. Its very stylish and once it is set up, it looks so cool. Also, if you dont have a place to put the front side speakers, the system comes with two connectors that you can use to mount them to the main center speaker and create a sound bar.
A great product that I would recommend to anyone! Even if you have the money to buy a more expensive name brand product, why waste the extra money? This product is less expensive and it is wonderful!!!

wasn't expecting much because of the price but we did expect it to work. Hooked everything up and couldn't even get the DVD door to open and shut like it should. Would not recommend this product.
