My Onkyo system arrived from Amazon the day after i ordered it thanks to the Prime delivery offer which was free seeing how the first month of using this service is free ! this was a huge bonus .
The set up was relatively easy as previous people have mentioned , colour coded wires make it a breeze,and the fact that the Onkyo system detected the TV ( Sony 42" Bravia lcd ) made it straight forward too- no hassles at all
UNTIL i tried to get the speaker wires to the other side of the livingroom ...this was a terrible job made harder by the fact that the wires are not long enough , WHY do they insist on making the wires too short ? another meter of wire wouldve been great TWO meteres wouldve been brilliant ! not much to ask for when i spent £314 on this sytem .
Also the woofer wire was short too and allthough i managed to get it to the corner of the room i did struggle and it isnt exactly where id like it as the wire is tight .
Also -the sub woofer is quite big and chunky , it also needs its own power supply which can be a bonus but can be a pain too if your already putting plugs into every extension going .
We also needed extra HDMI cables so buy one extra , i needed two for the set up i have...maybe including HDMI cables is too much to ask for .
SO for those reasons im giving this system 4 stars cos simple things like a meter extra on the wire length could make life so much simpler for the user.
The sound is superb tho .., ive yet to get the settings to the way i like them , but anyone buying this sytem will love its more than capable sound levels and clarity .
