Great system for the price!:
I recently upgraded from a sony 500w 5.1 system which was pretty nice. But, i was recently talking to friend of mine who had bought an onyko system and had me wanting a 7.1 system. So i came across this 1200w 7.1 system for under $350 shipped. I read the reviews and knew that hdmi's only passed through video signals which is fine. I have a 360 and ps3, and both have optical outputs from my previous setup anyways. I must say setup and installation was very easy, however i did not use the calibration mic yet,... more info
Great system, one minor quirk:
Excellent sounding system, easy setup and auto cal, more than enough volume. I have really enjoyed it. The only thing I didn't like is that this system is just an HDMI pass through. The actual signal has to be decoded by your TV first, and then sound must go out of the TV to the unit.

Awesome & SIMPLE Sysytem:
Using this system in for our Church Rec. Center (30'x30') and it FLOODS the room with sound. The woofer is great!! Setup was a BREEZE, and we have a DVD, Computer, iPod, and more plugged into it.
The only issue we had was getting the DVD sound to run through the system. Using the HDMI cable, we were able to get audio, but no sound. So we simply ran phono(audio) cables. 7.1 and beautiful!!! GREAT system!!!
