RCA RT2360 300-Watt Home Theater System Review

I've had my system for about a year now. It's a good system for the price I bought it at, but there are definate down falls to it. Any movie I watch I pray for it to come in DTS. That's because when watching movies in Dobly Digital, speach from the center channel can't be heard clearly. I have to almost max the volume and turn all other channels down to hear. The only other fall back is the non-powered sub, but you can buy an inexpensive powered sub and plug into the powered sub port on the receiver. All in all I'd recogmend this system to someone just starting out in their Home Theater ventures.

Enhance your DVD-watching experience with the RCA RT2360 5.1-channel surround system, which turns your living room into a comprehensive home theater for movies, sporting events, and concert films while also making traditional stereo formats come alive. The receiver is outfitted with built-in Dolby Digital and DTS surround decoding, which ensures a remarkably natural sense of ambiance and realism when watching the latest DVD films. Listeners can also simulate their favorite acoustic environments, such as a concert hall, stadium, church, or jazz club, using the Digital Signal Processing technology. Each DSP setting takes into account the natural echoes and acoustics of the live venue, and then translates the sound through the surround speakers.
Adding to the receiver's value is a digital AM/FM tuner with 40 station presets and auto channel scanning. Plus, listeners can connect as many as seven A/V devices--such as a DVD player, CD player, TV, satellite receiver, or game console--to the receiver through the variety of rear jacks, including six analog audio inputs, three composite video inputs, and two S-video inputs. The unit also boasts two digital audio inputs (one optical and one coaxial) that help ensure topnotch sound from similarly equipped components.
Of course, a good surround system is nothing without the speakers, and RCA's delivered here, too. The four satellite speakers and center channel speaker split the receiver's 300 watts of output power--giving music and movies crisp, richsound--while the subwoofer boosts the low-end frequencies to make special effects and soundtracks sound deep and explosive. The front and center speakers are also magnetically shielded to protect against video interference, letting you place them within 2 feet of the TV feet without suffering through static or distortion.
Additional features include a test signal generator that helps you balance the surround channels, a night mode that muffles the audio just enough to keep your kids from waking up, several preset equalizer modes (flat, rock, pop, jazz, classical, and vocal), and a full-function remote control. The receiver measures 17 by 5.1 by 16.5 inches (W x H x D), the satellites are 4.6 by 6.9 by 4.5 inches, and the subwoofer checks in at 6.3 by 14 by 14 inches. The system is also backed by a one-year warranty.

Look at the pictures of the product. What quality audio receivers have no optical inputs or video component inputs.
search acoustimax.
Really? $239 for something that is suppose to be worth $4999?

RCA RT151 Home Theater System Review

I live in a one bedroom apartment and this system is as powerful as I'll ever need. I gambled on it because of the price, figuring it would probably suck, but hoping it would at least be a little better than my TV sound. I was wrong. It doesn't suck at all. It's actually pretty awesome. In fact it sounds almost as good as my ex-roommate's surround system which cost a couple hundred dollars more.
I was a little worried when I opened the box and saw how tiny all the speakers were, but they produce very big sound for their size. Anyone who wants thundering bass that will rattle the walls should definitely look elsewhere but if you are living in an apartment, this unit should be more than sufficient for your needs. It sounds absolutely great for what it is - a budget priced surround system.
I don't understand the people who have mentioned needing to augment these speakers with their TV sound. I think that they must have the speakers hooked up wrong or have the individual channels (front, center, sub-woofer and rear) turned down, so the master volume isn't giving them what they need. I can only turn the volume up about half-way before I start to worry about my neighbors, so I'm clearly getting something different out of my set-up. I don't think I'm just being overly courteous either - at full volume, with the doors closed, the system can be heard fairly easily from the courtyard/hallway outside of my apartment. With the standard settings, the rear channel is a little quiet for my taste, but since there is individual control for the different channels, it is very easy to adjust.
The biggest problem with the system is that there are only two composite inputs and one front facing "line-in" portable audio input. That means no HDMI, component or IR inputs and if you want to hook up more than two devices, you're going to need a separate switcher. The higher end inputs are not a big deal for me. I have already stated that I live in an apartment and must be courteous with my volume. HDMI, component, or IR would allow for much better fidelity with a system that really cranks, but with my personal needs in mind, the two composite inputs are just fine. Besides, how much do you expect for $56?
In summary; This system is amazing for the price. Perfect for apartments, dens, etc. There are some limitations and it may not be the right system for you if you are living in a big house, but it definitely exceeded what I expected to get from it.

+ Price. Can't be beat.
+ Compact size - perfect for an apartment
+ Good sound and pretty loud for such a compact system - again, perfect for small to mid-sized apartments.
+ Remote with individual channel controls. This is very handy and not available in the other units I saw in this price range.
+ Audio device port is a nice bonus
- Bass is less than thunderous
- Limited inputs
- Probably not appropriate for large rooms in large houses
