I wanted to get better sound on my TV without buying a complete TV speaker system so this unit seemed ideal. However, I needed to return it twice for malfunctions. There was a processor problem which created static sound during a broadcast. (Customer service was very good.) The unit is OK for spoken word TV broadcasts but DVDs with music are a real problem. The soundtrack is played back too loud relative to the dialogue which is very distracting. I was very excited about this product and overall it has not met my expectations. I dont use it much.

Absolutely amazing! I had no hiss at all, I dont know what the other reviewer is talking about!
This all in one surround sound system is just great, my wife loves it because theres no more cables all over the place and I love it because I get the surround sound Ive always wanted!
Amazing bass, I swear Ive had guests over asking me where the subwoofer was haha
Amazing treble as well
overall, a very good all around surround sound system thats unique, good and CHEAP for $300!!!

Despite reading reviews that warned of an audible hiss in all but optical modes, I ordered this anyway as I use an optical connection. The electronic whine, which Soundmatters FAQ describes as rarely an issue, is so loud (in all modes) that you can easily hear it across the room whenever the soundtrack goes quiet. Very annoying. I seriously doubt if all the units are this bad. Ill be returning this one tomorrow. Its too bad as the sound is otherwise quite good.

I am very pleased with the quality of this product. The stereo speakers on my television set have never worked perfectly, emitting an unpleasant, tinny sound at certain frequencies. The Mainstage system has completely corrected that problem. CDs now sound wonderful, especially as compared with how they formerly sounded. I couldnt be more pleased with this product than I am.
