Philips HTS6515D 2.1 DVD 1080p HDMI Dolby Home Theatre System Review from Ian Mendelsohn. Iz en ur housz, given youz teh bangz fur teh bucks!, Hemmed and hawed about this purchase for quite some time, going back and forth between this and the Panasonic SC-PT760. I wanted surround sound for my living room, but due to the position of my TV and couch and the placement of a certain sliding glass door, running the wires w/o messing with the walls was not an option. So, I had settled on either real surround sound, with its weird wireless feature, or ambisound w/ less parts and cleaner lines.
The deal breaker? Going to circuit city and finding the Philips for $160! Suck on that. Anywho, setting it up was quite easy. Took maybe thirty minutes and only due to rearranging my HDMI inputs etc etc.
Pros:
Looks Awesome!
Easy set up
HDMI 1080p
USB input
MP3 input
IPOD dock – which, incidentally, will read your iPod and give you and onscreen view of your music lists which you can control with the remote. Also, you can view video from the iPod on the TV.
Icky Bass Thump (that’s meant to be good, couldn’t resist the White Stripes ref.)
When in DVD mode – sound is amazing.
Cons:
When in TV mode, sound is good, but not nearly as amazing.
No Digital Optical inputs, only RCA… lame.
Remote controls… it. that’s it. No ability to control even the TV with the remote this comes with. Get yourself a universal (I have a Logitech Harmony brand remote and have a drawer full of useless remotes now)
hrrrmmm…..Yeah, I think that’s it.
Buy this. Do it.
