Philips LX3750W Progressive Scan DVD Home Theater in a Box Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was very excited to use this system.When I recieved it and opened the box I could not wait to install it.Once I installed it and tried it out I could not wait until i sent it back for a refund.
The Wireless system seemed OK except that I continued to get a sharp metallic spiking sound from the surround speakers.When anyone crossed the path of the transmitter the speakers would screech.It was horrible.To make sure that it wasn't just the speakers, I wired them to the receiver and the sound was better.
There is no treble setting either.Most TV shows will have a high treble level and I have no choice but to deal with it.The system is great for watching DVDs but not for watching TV which is probably 95% of the use it gets.I would not buy this.There are better systems out there for the same price.

Product Description:
The perfect theater for homes with standard or high-definition televisions, Philips' style-conscious LX3750W consists of a Dolby Digital/DTS-decoding surround sound receiver with an integrated single-disc progressive-scan DVD/CD player, five satellite speakers, and a powered subwoofer. The DVD drive reads DVD, DVD+RW, and VCD, as well as CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3 CDs, and JPEG/Kodak Picture CDs.
If you're using (or plan to use) a high-definition or HD-ready TV, you'll appreciate the system's progressive scanning, which is referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image. This feature creates a picture with twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD image, giving you sharper, higher resolution images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.
The system's 50-watts-per-channel receiver and 50-watt subwoofer deliver a total of 300 watts of home theater power, and the five speakers are acoustically designed to match the receiver's tonal characteristics. The front left, right, and center speakers are magnetically shielded to prevent interference with your TV's image. The tuner offers 40 FM/AM presets.
The receiver features two analog-audio inputs and one analog-audio output, along with two digital-audio inputs (one each coaxial and optical). Three video outputs--composite-, component-, and S-video--accommodate most TVs and monitors.
