1. Bought used three days ago. Not used so far: the DVD functionality.
   
   Pluses:
   * Great design. Teens or adults would probably be happy. Touch (rather than button) controls take some getting used to but are responsive.
   * Great sound. Lots of volume at low setting and bass is strong.
   * Size of unit and speakers work well for a bookshelf (fits with an IKEA Billy bookshelf)
   
   Problems:
   * USB flash drive functionality is under developed. It says that you can play mp3s if you have 1,000 files or less of any kind on your flash drive. I tried this with one with mostly non-music files with about 500 files and it could read that the music files were there but refused to play them. After reformatting the flash drive and putting just one album's worth, it worked. I decided to give up on the flash drive idea and pair the device with a Squeezebox 3 so that I would have direct access to music from my computer.
   * Needs FM antenna for FM to work where I live (I got an antenna and the device-antenna connector called a "transformer" at RadioShack; plugging in the transformer even before attaching the antenna seemed to fix this)
   * Shiny black plastic piano finish can get scratched but is only apparent in a lot of light.
   
   Bottom line: Great design and sound make it a good value. Improved USB functionality (and maybe HD radio functionality) would make it a five-star.



2. Before Christmas, we purchased two LG Model LFD750 Micro Systems, one for our use and one to send to our daughter out west. I had seen one in a Best Buy store and had admired its design, but I went to Amazon because time was short for holiday delivery.
   It is trim, sleek, small (but heavy, indicating substantial magnets in the speaker components) and offers a wide variety of applications as a (Yes, I mean it!) a HOME THEATRE system. It fulfills that name, and then some. Most importantly, it sounds great, delivering clear, rich sound at all levels. It plays CDs and DVDs, so that you can hook it up to a TV or monitor and watch a movie on it with great, wide theatre-quality sound. It also provides excellent FM and AM reception and has interconnections for ipod and mp3 use. The EQ feature allows you to customize the sound mixes to your liking. In short, it is a major hit in every way! I am an opera singer and am very fussy about the quality of sound that gets to my ears. This is a reasonably-priced, five-star winner!



3. I have owned this product for approx 6 months.
   Every time I use it, I am annoyed that I spent $[...] for this.
   Anyway:
   
   Pros:
   *Good sound
   *Good video
   *Looks sexy
   *Ipods work with the provided cable.
   
   Cons:
   *Slow cd/dvd "read" to ready to "play" time
   *The on system control buttons sometimes need to be pressed multiple times for them to work.
   *USB-hahaha a joke. NOT even a feature I try to use anymore. I have tried basic 1 gb mp3 players (Creative Zen Nano)- some content is read, other content is somehow not found by the stereo. It wont pick up my new Creative Zen 8gb at all. My external hard drive (WD My Book) doesn't work on it either.
   *The unit has only 1 set of RCA cable plug ins and 1 component plug in; granted, this is only a bookshelf system.



4. Pluses
   1. Good Sound, helped by XTS Pro.
   2. Integrated subwoofer in speakers.
   3. Classy and attractive.
   4. Can replace speakers with your own if you like.
   5. Play DVD with component output.
   6. Play MP3 and Divx/Xvid files on CD/DVD and USB (flash and one external hard drive I tried).
   7. iPod integration with music and videos.
   8. Price.
   
   Minus
   1. Amplifier has weak bass, though the sound is compensated by integrated subwoofer in the stock speakers.
   2. iPod integration is achieved using a supplied iPod cable but no dock so you can't have the iPod sitting in an upright position. Even if you have an Apple dock, the cable seems to only work if it is connected to the iPod directly, not through a dock.
   3. iPod videos can only be played through composite output, not component.
   4. iPod videos not supported in latest iPods like iPod Classic and iPod Touch.
   5. No shuffle or random mode.
   6. If MP3 contains embedded album art, no ID3 information will be shown if the file is played from a CD/DVD but works fine if the same file is played from USB.
   
   Note: LFD750/FB162 is now replaced by LFD850/FB163.



5. I bought for stereo only, the speakes are not that good, no low frequencis, like on the specs!

2 comments about Yamaha NS-SP7800PN 5.1-Channel Home Theater Speaker Package (Piano Black).

1. Speakers look beautiful and sound great with the exception of the sub. The sub sounds ok but it just doesnt deliver deep enough bass when watching movies and playing music...at least for my tastes. Not really surprising though considering its only sporting a 6.5 inch woofer/ 75 watt amp. If your looking for a great sounding compact surround package with style in mind then I would recommend it. I on the other hand will be searching for a sub with more power in mind.



2. I purposely bought this system because of the Piano Black finish and it's compact size. I live in a 400 foot studio so I did not need a super powerful system. It's true the subwoofer is onlyl 6.5 inches instead of the standard 10", however, for the size of my room it is more than adequate. The slim styling of the speakers, especially the freestanding ones, fit nicely into the room without being intrusive. And the black piano finish matches my HDTV perfectly.

1. This is a great buy. Most small speakers like this are missing a lot of midrange sound, but these suprised me. When you pick one of them up, you'll know you're dealing with quality because they're heavy as hell. They mount easily to the walls or sit great on shelves too. The sub is plenty to fill even a large living room. It sounds better than any Bose system I've heard (I've always thought Bose is overrated anyway) and is much cheaper. I paired it with the SR-605 Onkyo receiver. Great receiver by they way. HDMI 1.3 compatible, 7.1 output, 90W per ch, a plethora of inputs all go to one HDMI out. Great buy!

4 comments about Curtis HTIB1000 Home Theater Surround Sound Speaker System.

1. This product is ok... I have one for only a couple of month then it overheated and died on me... Not good for long use... Once it overheated, it is over...



2. previous review complained about over-heating. Xbox recently had issue over-heating made by microsoft. Electronics do generate heat and if you over use it it will over heat no matter how much and what brand it is. In case of this Curtis HT1B1000 Theater Surrond Sound System, the sound is commensurate to its price. Can't expect great if you expect it to perform like Pioneer or Sony while the price is only over 30 bucks. Good for PC, DVD player and a small audio or theater system. You get what its worth and it wont over heat if you don't overdo it. The Bad: it didn't cost too much to manufacture this and thus it has limited features. The Good: It does create a cinematic and theater like sound (5.1 dolby-effect). Ok for a small room like a dorm or a master's bedroom. The remote control has separate buttons for each set of speakers i.e. center, subwoofer and the surround effect plus has a master volume control. Good for its price range.



3. Please do not waste your time or money with this system. Right out of the box after an hour of normal use the sub woofer started to make some horrible sounds. It was nice to have surround sound before that, but the quality was not very good at all. The speakers are so small the sound distorts at even low volume. Hopefully the store will take this back. It is not worth the $60 or time to just send it back for over heating and not being usable. There are 2 stereo inputs on the back and one input for 5.1 channels, sub woofer, center, FR, RL, RR, RL. Comes with 3 stereo cables. Spend the extra money and get some Creative, Klipsch, Logitech, or even Sony speakers. You will be happy you spent that extra 10 or 20 bucks. I couldn't remember the brand name of these speakers so I just did a google search for "over heated home theater 5.1 " Found it right away... Curtis is a name to forget.



4. Bought this item from the store for 60 bucks. The remote worked...when it wanted to. There was nothing in the manual about how to program the presets on the remote either. The buzzing started in one speaker, then to another, thenm would stop.
   
   Over time, it started to buzz and humm loudly and I would have to unplug it.
   
   I never used it much so I don't know why it would have over heated. The only "real" off switch is on the rear of the sub so it gets to be a pain, plus you have to reset the levels after you turn it back on.
   
   This thing is junk. Less than a month and it doesn't work anymore.

1. works well, sound good, very easy to install and include a safety chain if the bracket should ever fail. It is nice to be able to listen to music on while we are outside working or swimming. Would recomend!
