Don't make my mistake...
If you're looking at this item, chances are you've got a cabinet-full of VHS movies, and you've decided to jump to DVDs. So with this you can enjoy your VHS movies in surround sound, and start collecting DVDs, right? NOT WITH THIS SYSTEM!

Turns out that, although you can hook up a high-fi VCR to this system, it does not have the ability to decode the surround-sound encoding on the tapes (Dolby Pro Logic, dts) and play it through all six speakers. ... I ended up sending this back and buying a component system which allows me to enjoy surround sound on all my media. (I also ended up spending [$$$], too, which was more than I wanted!)

This system is compact, simple, elegant, and it sounds pretty good. It just didn't do what I expected it to do. Because detailed specs on this system seem to be really hard to come by, I thought this comment might help those of you who were as confused as me!

Good luck!
