Strengths: Very easy setup. Good looking unit. DVD player is great. Good quality sound.
Weaknesses: The remote control is kind of a kludge.
Summary: For $449.00 this system can't be beat. It has a great sound and the DVD drive plays awesomely no flutter or pausing at all on any of the discs I've put it in so far.
The subwoofer has 4 presets and it's easy to cycle through them. The highs are a little bit difficult to calibrate correctly because you can't select the treble or midrange individually you can only use the presets. Otherwise the sound is really good once you figure out which effect/setting to use.
The remote control on the other hand is a little difficult to use. You have to use the shift key to get to some of the features on the receiver which is annoying in the dark watching a movie. Also, I have a Panasonic LCD TV and when I select the receiver/DVD player on the remote and try to cycle through the inputs on the reciever, it cycles my TV through the input selections as well. It's a bit annoying actually and I have to shut off my TV when switching between TV and DVD player on the receiver or use my TV remote to get my TV back to where it needs to be. Could be that I have the wrong code selected on the remote for my TV, but still annonying.
The rear channel Omnicast speakers are nice and sound great, but I think I would have preferred 4 tallboy speakers like the SC-HT900 so as not to have to setup the rear speakers either on the wall or on a table.
Overall a good buy for the money though.
