Rating:  - Look elsewhere - this thing sucks
As other reviewers have noted, the DVD drive fails commonly, as mine did. However, that really didn't bother me since the upscaled DVD picture quality was so lousy. I went back to using my Xbox 360 for DVD.
Also, there are very few options to adjust the sound output. Think the virtual center channel isn't loud enough? Think the virtual satellite channels are too loud? Too bad. This was particularly noticeable on games and movies with a rich 5.1 track. Sounds that were supposed ... Read More
Rating:  - Low Price, Low Quality
While "you get what you pay for" isn't always true...it is in this case. This system worked well (though I did have trouble with the HDMI in the beginning--could have been the interface on my television) for about a year. After that, it really started scratching my DVD's like crazy. Half the time, it won't release them upon pressing the eject button....I've had to pull them out by a tiny corner....hence, more scratching.
Also, this system was NEVER loud enough for me. I guess I ... Read More
Rating: - Don't waste your $$
I have bought this system and for the first couple of months it was GREAT!
The sound although not the best was very good for the $$.
BUT Now I am having problems with DVD player. It seems to have issues finding DVD root menue and chapters. The disk is just spinning with a very loud "seaking" sound and goes nowhere!!!
Rating: - You are ordering a 6500 not a 6600 - BEWARE!
I went on to Amazon and saw the HTS6600 for the great price of $249.99 so purchased it. It normally sells for $500+. I however received the older HTS6500 model. I had to return it and get a refund. BEWARE: You are really ordering the old model. The picture and details on the page are incorrect.
On closer look of the HTS6600 page, the specs and reviews are all for the HTS6500. It is some Amazon error where they have attached the wrong item and picture to the page.
Rating: - Won't recognize DVD's
I bought this system a little over a year ago. After about 8 months, it won't recognize a DVD at all. The first time it did it, my wife and I didn't think anything about it. We went back to watching regular TV. Now 4 months later, we are still having the same problem and because the year warranty is up, Technical Support will not offer any advice. There only solution is for us to buy a refurbished system. From reading on-line, other buyers are having the same problem. If you want to listen to CD's ... Read More
