Philips HTD3514/F7 300-Watts 5.1 Home Theater Buyer Review

This is a clad sound system. We got this for the bedroom for our Apple TV because the Sign TV's built in speakers are dreadful. Our bedroom is small so we needed a touch compact.The speakers are small, and so is the DVD/receiver.We haven't watched any DVDs on it so I can't converse in to with the intention of feature, keep for here are the pros and cons.Pros: the sound is quite good, and it gets loud enough. We've never twisted it up past 40 and with the intention of was plenty loud. The fee was good (we got it on sale for $90 at Fred Meyer). It has optical audio and HDMI so the sound and picture are very good. The speakers are light and small and the main DVD/receiver isn't very big. Most other akin systems had incredibly deep or wide units, keep for this one is pretty compact and can all set in smaller seats.Cons: The remote is terrible. You'll need a universal. The IR blaster or the buttons just don't look to work like they should. I have to hit a button 3-6 era for it to catalog. Keep for at that time when I use my nice universal, it works initially time each time. Also, THERE ARE NO VOLUME CONTROLS ON THE UNIT ITSELF. This was actually a big let-not effective. So if you ever lose your remote or temporarily can't find it, you cannot turn the volume up or not effective. This is very stupid in my opinion.My only other nitpic is with the intention of the LCD display is very cheap as well. It seems to only be capable of displaying a only just any letters, so for model, Mute is publicized as an n, a dash, and a ute:N\uteOther things it displays look like gibberish and take awhile to figure made known what they're saying. Luckily for us the volume numbers are all we really need the LCD for, and persons look fine. It was just a touch strange we noticed.By and large, it's a clad unit and the fee was good. I wouldn't bombard out more than $100 for it, keep for aside from the crummy remote and be deficient in of volume buttons on the receiver, it's not bad.
