The product came in a damaged box (probably the fault of the ups guys) but the company gave me a substantial discount due to this. They also gave me the option of receiving another new product but I chose the discount! I am very pleased with the product a
We are not audiophiles and bought this system because Consumer Reports rated it as tops by a wide margin in it's group. Instructions were clear and concise. It plays wonderfully and we are very pleased with the performance. It was shipped UPS by a su
I bought this for my 50 inch Plasma. It was my first ever surround sound system. I live in a two story town home with vaulted ceilings. I wound up having to also purchase the Rocketfish wireless for the rear speakers. It works great. I actually didn&#
This product is much more than I expected and the set-up was so easy using the setup mic. It is just an HDMI passthrough but so what. I knew that going in. I paid 388 for this and it was a steal. The sound is spectacular. I thought the sub wouldn't b
Love these new speakers! Very easy set up and great quality, especially for the money. The speakers look very nice...a little bigger than I anticipated, but they still look great. System adjusts levels for all seven speakers automatically based on diff
ALL GOT TO SAY (OR WRITE IN THIS CASE)IS THE SYSTEM IS OFF THE HOOK,IF YOU KNOW HOW TO INSTALL IT, WOULD BE AN ORGASMIC EXPERIENCE WHEN YOU PLAY A VIDEOGAME OR WATCH A MOVIE!AND THE DOCK FOR IPOD JUST PERRRRFECT,IT CHARGE WHEN IT PLAYS!GREAT 7.1 SYSTEM.
Very good quality product. only con is the pass through HD. only way to solve this problem is to buy the HD receivers that start at $400 plus. quick alternate is to buy Toslink (fiber optic) cable which is what i chose or an RCA sound cable. sound fills m
I was looking for an inexpensive home theater system. I am very impressed; the sound is awesome for the money. Highly recommend.
Man, this system exceeded all my expectations. I just replaced my kenwood system, and talk about a dramatic improvement. With the right movies and games, the sound is phenomenal. It's hard to believe this system costs less than 400 bucks.
I love this system. Very loud, very nice. I did my research from consumer report. This was recommended by them. I read the reviews on this product from previews buyers on Amazon.com. I did spend extra money to upgrade the wires, get HDMI cable, and the su
Very happy i found this system. I spent a few months trying to find something i would like and am really glad i found this on amazon! The price was right, and it was shipped quickly and in perfect working order. I'm not great with these things, but h
I was looking to overhaul my surround setup and my original intention was to replace my older receiver and upgrade each piece as I could afford it. When I started doing research I found that a good starting point for any surround system is a Home Theater
My budget was limited, so after doing the research I went with this boxed system. Amazon was right on with the delivery, and soon after was up and running. I agree with other reviews that the speaker wires are lame and replaced with better quality. Also t
The components of this system are much better than you can get in other bundles in this price range. These are separate components, not an integrated system. The receiver accepts 4 digital inputs and 2 additional RCA inputs and is a switch for 4 video c
When I bought this I wasn't too worried about the price because amazon.com is usually very competitive. I figured if the price went down in 30 days I would just call them and have them credit my card. THEY WON'T DO THAT! So don't plan on an
I was extremely pleased with this system. I recently purchased a cheaper pioneer system for $100 less than this for a friend. I SERIOUSLY regret not spending the extra $100 dollars as I almost want to just throw the pioneer away after hearing this. Thi
The Onkyo HT-S5100 7.1 is an exceptional system. One big advantage is that you don't have a built-in DVD system since these change so often. An earlier system by Samsung that we purchased does not work nearly as well. The system is easy to install an
Excellent product. Great sound for price. Unpacked and completely setup within 1 hour. Quality equipment at a great price. Only disappointment is that it wasn't purchased sooner.
I have been through all comments.I have no complain about HDMI. It is great with HD Cable,DVD and music. For bluray,make sure you choose bit stream option not PCM . dolby Ex and DPLIIx distribute 5.1 equally to 7.1.I strongly recommend this product if you
This has to be the greatest buy. This was easy to setup and has a great sound. Would like to have the upscaling capability but for the price, you can not beat this product.
I set up this Onkyo system a few days ago, and I have been nothing short of impressed thus far. I understand that the fact the receiver in this setup only has 'Pass-Through HDMI' upsets and frustrates some users, but honestly as long as you did
Pros: Overwhelming thunderous bass when speakers and subwoofer are set at their highest levels. This thing really BOOMS during sports games or when I have a movie on. Though it still has solid mids and lo's as well which is surprising for a system in
This system sounds great and is easy to set up......for the price I think its about the best you can get....
This system beats our Bose system it replaced! Best sound ever! Makes you feel like you are in the movies rather than just watching!
I bought this system after much research and I have been very pleased with my purchase. I knew about the pass thru only and that audio signals would need to go through other connections and everything else that some technophobes have been upset over. I
I have had this system for about 5 months and it sounds great. If you buy this make sure you either use the calibration mic or calibrate it yourself using an spl meter. The one thing that I did not like was the amount of heat this think produced. I would
I recently added this to my home theater set up. It offers the widest range of hook ups possible for both audio and video sources. Exactly what I needed.
It didn't take long for me to become satisfied with this purchase. The price was remarkable when I purchased it (under $400) in October '08. Come the first week in January I see the same model for $700 + in my Sunday sales papers. On account of
I had to turn down the bass cuz it was so cool! The system scared me a few times cuz it was so realalistic...hahahah
I recieved the Onkyo for Christmas. Setup was easier than I thought and the sound is great. The ipod dock is great since you can control the ipod from the remote.
Excellent quality of sound and easy set up. Originally purchased for my theater project but enjoy listening to music just as much.
I purchased the Onkyo 5100 in mid Dec. and it arrived just when it was suggested that it would. After set-up the sound was amazing. I have only used 5 of the 7 speakers because I am going to put the other 2 in the exercise room. It offers multiple sound p
Amazing sound and fantastic price. You can not find a 7.1 ch with HDMI ports for cheaper. It puts you right in the action for gaming. The base is super powerful makes you feel the explosions and low rumbles in games and movies. The only down side that
Let me say I think the HT-S5100 Onkyo Surround Sound System is a great product with great sound at a great price, but it is critically important that a person know what its capabilities and limitations are in order to avoid disappointment later. I would
The sound quality of this system is amazing! You will save yourself tons of money on this unit but have the sound quality of systems that cost 10 times the price!! Don't pass this deal by!!
The home theater system is every thing it was advertized to be. Fast shipping and good people to do businees with.
Setup was astoundingly easy thanks to the enclosed instructions. At this point I couldn't be happier.
It's an awesome system at an affordable price! I highly recommend it to those looking for a good surround sound system on a budget. I bought it based on lots of research on tech specs else where; and for under $350, it's hard to beat. 5 STARS
After getting all the cabling i needed to wire everything up to this it works amazingly well. Absolutely love the power this thing puts out, some music sounds as if you were front row at concert when youve got the 290w sub cranked all the way up. For this
I did all my research with HTIB's and this one is a great one. Even Consumer Reports had this as the highest rated. Great Sound with a lot of inputs and outputs. IPod Dock is also a plus. Definitely Recommend.
I ordered this product because of its price and name. I am extremely satisfied with the product. The speakers are good quality, and the sub is very powerful. My only qualm it that the hdmi is just run through, so no real 7.1, but as there are few if any 7
I purchased this item as a gift to my boyfriend (I know, a little risky buying a tech item for a tech man), but it turned out to be a success! I read a lot of reviews before purchasing and also checked Consumer Reports. This system was rated #1 in it�
Great product for the price! I knew what I was getting so I'm giving this 5 stars. However, I wish the look/size of the speakers was better - smaller. I'm really picky and love the utilitarian simplicity of designs like apple and bose products.
Great unit. It was a bit intimidating, because of the size of the box. All the parts were there with easy instructions. I can now hear what I've been missing with excellent quality. I would recommend this unit wholeheartedly. Thanks Amazon. Mark G.
i knew that its only hdmi pass through and only true 7.1 if you have the right player. but this system does a great job of turning 5.1 into 7.1. when i was playing a video game i was hearing sounds right behind me when i never heard them before. it took a
I highly recommend this item. I was searching for a home theatre system for Christmas. I saw that Consumer Reports had ranked it #1. It was a little more than I wanted to pay, but with Amazon's discount, it made it a worthy price to pay. What I recei
The onkyo HT-S5100 is a great system. Sounds fantastic. I bought this system for my boyfriend for Christmas and he loves it. I have an older Onkyo system and I love mine. After doing reviews on what's on the market now, I went with this system bec
This system was worth every cent. Great sound for the money I payed. I had a Bose system for 15yrs and I needed a new one. I have a Family now and I couldn't afford a new Bose. I was not disapointed. If your looking for a HTS in a box this is it.
I replaced an older less expensive system with the Onkyo 5100. Very well satisfied with the quality of 5100. As a novice on most things electronic I did have some qualms on setting it up to a cable signal, DVR/VCR, connecting to non HD TV and setting th
Fortunately for me, my brother-in-law rocks. Set it up perfectly. Sounds almost too good. Movies just come alive better than our old system and although the speakers are small they are dynamic. Enjoy it!
