If you have to pay full price, I'd buy another one. Very easy to set up, uses regular speaker wire, sets up easily, seems to be user friendly.
DVD has a whirl sound to it. When it has full power, it isn't very loud in room 15' X 17'. Definetly doesn't shake any windows or anything else. My old 100W receiver is louder than this 1000W.
What's great about it: easy to set up, uses regular speaker wire
What's not so great: noisy DVD player; not very loud at full volume

I am very pleased with this HTiaB.. the powerful sounds REALLY surprised me.
DVD is good, 5 disk changer has proved to be more of a hassle than a perk, but nothing deal breaking.
I have my HD Cable box running throw the reciever and it sounds great as well.
LG has won my buisness through this product. Only thing that would have made it better would be improved speaker wire, an iPod cradle instead of a cable, and on the fly menu changes (as it is now, if you want to make a change in the settings.. the DVD will stops. When your done, you have to restart the DVD).
What's great about it: Great Price,Powerful Sound (great bass, mids, and highs) Upconvert DVD, IPod control, looks good
What's not so great: went kind of cheap on the speaker wire.. I replaced with monster cable

i purchased this home theater with an lg plasma television and i must say that the "simplink" technology is very cool. it automatically switches the tv input over to dvd anytime you put a dvd or cd into the player. however, the upconvert dvd player seems to have difficulty reading many dvd's. i dont know if this is a problem with the upconvert technology or what. but it is frustrating to have the dvd black out on me in the middle of a movie. sometimes it plays only the sound. other times it exits out of the dvd player all together. i have been able to get all of the dvds to play eventually, but i dont think this should ever be a problem. especially not with brand new dvds. at this point i think i would be better off going with a conventional dvd player or upgrading to blu-ray.
What's great about it: pretty good surround sound
What's not so great: subwoofer is intermittant. upconvert dvd player cuts out with many dvd's.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Other than not having brackets to mount the speakers to the wall, this is an excellent item. Not only is the LG product one of the best brands on the market right now, it also has an awesome sound to it. I've researched LG and when I decide the size of my plasma, thats what I'm going to buy. The sound of the sur-round sound system can be equalized better when watching a DVD, but is still has an excellent sound on the reciever,CD and other options.
What's great about it: Easy to use!
What's not so great: No brackets to mount speakers to the wall!

I had purchased the Sony HT-DDW790 but returned it because I just was not happy with sound quality. The LG unit cost $100 more, but when you figure the Sony does not have a DVD player built in, it was a wash. It did not take too long to get the unit set up. Video is connected with an HDMI cable and sound from my cable is connected with the Digital Audio jack. Once I turned it on I was very happy with the sound quality right out of the box. Just like the Sony, there are lots of adjustments that can be made to tweak the sound, the difference is that I do not have to do any of them to be happy with the sound quality. Picture quality from the DVD player was also excellant. I have owned other theater systems before and the way I judge them is by playing a DVD with the THX opening where the sound slowly builds. If it rocks my house I know it is good, and this one did! I also liked the way the DVD changer is stacked instead of a turntable style. My TV cabinet is not very deep and the systems that have a turntable are too deep. The fact that the wire is not attached to the speakers is a big plus also. You can not remove the wires from the speakers on most lower end systems, including the Sony that I returned. Overall a great system. Only reason I did not give it 5 stars is I have not had it long enough to judge lasting quality.
What's great about it: Easy to set up and get running. Stacked DVD's instead of turntable
What's not so great: Takes a while to learn all of the settings to maximize sound quality

I have had this home theatre for a month, I use it almost daily. No problems or issues at all so far. I have it hooked up to a Playstation 3 via digital optical cable and I couldnt be any happier with it. I have it set up in my apartment, aprox. a 20ftX20ft living room and the sound has no problem with filling the whole apartment, even at 3/4 volume. Max volume pretty much turns the place into a theatre with no sound garble. I believe this is the best home theate in a box available on the market for under $300. The next step up is a custom set up.
What's great about it: Awesome sound, Digital optical input, Great Price
What's not so great: Just one, non powered Subwoofer, but bass is still great

These speakers were a great upgrade over the TV speakers. The sound is great, and the speakers don't dominate the room. Plus, to play an iPod you just plug it into the cord and go, there's hardly any buttons to push!
What's great about it: Slim, classy speakers
What's not so great: Haven't found any yet

It is a good system. You can definitely spend more. However, for the $299.99 price tag, it is definitely a nice system. I have tried 'Tron', 'The Matrix', 'Heavy Metal' and listened to Super Bowl XLII (go, Giants!) through this system. Very nice. I purchased a cheaper Philips system that wouldn't play DVD or CD discs. I took it back and got this system. I am so glad I did. Yes, it will cost you a bit more. However, it is definitely a case of "you get what you pay for".
What's great about it: Nice sound for the money, easy to set up
What's not so great: None in the 8 hours I have owned it

A few months ago I purchased the excellent 46" 1080i Samsung LCD along with a P3 and it was time to add a decent home audio system. I didn't want to spend much more than $400. I looked at the Samsung HT-X50 but the out of the box iPod sealed the deal.
I have all the HDMI components (tivo, P3, LG) plugged directly into the LCD. I have fiber connecting the LCD optical output to the LG optical input. I have my Airport Express plugged into the AUX ports. Additionally I'm using the excellent Rocketfish wireless with the rear speakers.
Great value!

What's great about it: Complete, iPod integration, 5 disk changer, enough inputs
What's not so great: compared to dedicated DVD player with upscaling, the upscaling could be better

I am actually calling this 4.5 stars. Except for all the bare speaker wire (a connector would have been nicer, cables even more so), I am very pleased.
I looked at a few of the lower end offerings and you seemed to get what you paid for. I kept coming back to this one. It works well with the LG 42" plasma I have. Rich sound, nice subwoofer. Looks nice as well. Bonus on the 5 disk changer. Very happy.
What's great about it: Sound, value
What's not so great: Speaker wire....lots of speaker wire and bare at that.

Just picked this up yesterday and like it alot. Set up was easy, love the color coded wires! I don't know what the "pro" reviewers are talking about, the sound on this is great! I like to use one remote when possible, the included remote is not laid out very well for changing the TV channels, the buttons are at the bottom. I'm using this with my old 32" RCA tv, I can't wait for my LG 50" to get here to fully utilize this unit! I'll recommend the LTH764 to anyone looking for a Home Theater in a Box!
What's great about it: Sound, setup
What's not so great: The remote.

I LOVE this product. It was my fist surround system but I am very impressed. I set it up in about an hour. Popped in Star Wars last night and the living room shook for a good portion of the move. Incredible Sound!!!! Can plug my MP3 player into which I didnt realize when I bought it. 5 disk changer is a plus also!!

Love It! We bought after Christmas to go with the new plasma that we got and we love the sound quality! I was like others and thought for the price that it might not meet up to the quality, but you will not be disapponted if you make the purchase. The first movie that we tryed was The Polar Express, because I had read someone elses review about the train scene at the beginning of the movie and the floors shaking and she was right. I have two dogs and they did not know what to think.

Purchased this system after Xmas with gift cards. I was nervous that based on the price of this package the speakers would sound like ****. Not the case very happy with the sound quality. I have to turn down the sound during some movies because it feels like the floor/walls are shaking. DVD player alone is almost worth the price of the complete package. Run the set up wizard to make sure all connections are working properly.

After I purchased the system, I rushed home to connect it and test it before actually mounting the speakers. Unfortunately when testing the DVD player, the movies and the sound were skipping. I tested multiple DVDs as well as all of the 5 possible disc locations and was experiencing the skipping in all 5 locations. A rating of 2 is fairly harsh, but one of the major purposes of this system is to watch movies and if that function isn't working then I'm not satisfied enough for an average ranking. I am planning on returning to BB tomorrow and hopefully the second one that I will get will work! More to come...

I purchased this item before xmas, since my Yamaha system went out. I have to admit that this was not a bad system based on the input from others about this system. The sound is incredible and the appearance is sheek.
What's great about it: The sound is good compared to the other systems out there.
What's not so great: The subwoofer had to be ran with monster cable.

Great price for the features and the wattage. Very clear sounds. I hear sounds in my dvds that I had not previously been able to hear on my old system. Very powerful. I do however recommend that you replace the provided subwoofer speaker wire with a higher gauge for better bass.
Set up was a little more difficult as the wires for the rear speakers have to be around 30 feet long and they get tangled very easy. Very pleased, would buy again.
