Almost Perfect By Scott All in all I am very happy with this system, but I wanted it a 4.5 rating. - Sound quality is very good, but the correct sound mode for a source is necessary. - Bass is incredible, I can feel the vibrations throughout the house, rich bass when playing music. - Many input options, I could connect any AV equipment I've ever owned. - Many different sound settings for a particular source will sound as you want - Audyssey was easy to use to configure the sound settings for my room and speaker setup I only have three disappointments with this system, but they are quite low. - It is not to convert non-HDMI inputs for HDMI, which I had not thought of this when they buy, and I wish I had. - The subwoofer is a quiet electric hum, as power lines or old fluorescent tubes. - OSD only works with HDTV resolution signals 480, 720, 1080 Just annoying, because my projector is 1280 x 800 11 of 11 people found this helpful great buy for the drift that I do not really expect what happened to the S5400. I did not have a surround sound setup time, and my last home theater in a box was disappointing, but I had heard good things about the S5300, and when I went to buy one, j ', I saw a newer version was released. From what I understand, the S5400 is almost the same as the S5300 has the added advantage of Audyssey microphone calibrator. For someone who knows nothing about audio calibration, can not really difficult. Simply connect the microphone and let Audyssey good enough to take care of the rest. Sonically, no complaints. Sounds good to very good for movies and music. I forgot how much I missed in the movies, no surround-sound is, and friends and family love. I was not able to do a 7.1 setup because of lack of space, so for a while, I had the system in a 5.1 The configuration that was before I realized I could configure the Dolby Pro Logic IIz What this means is that it allows you to take back and walk over them the front speakers as front-discharge. By establishing PLIIz settings (which actually can be done by Audyssey) adds a sense of time allows an audio sound like more airy, and the transfer of certain channels of audio over your head, so if you're watching a movie with helicopters or rain or whatever, I do know that on your head as you naturally instead of in front or behind you at ear level. Its great, and I saw a couple of movies that really shone. As others have mentioned, installation is easy. Colored cables that you know what goes where, and assembly was a piece of cake. Find cheap speaker stands for my surroundings were a bit complicated, but I ended up going with about $ 15 Walmart brand and using an adhesive that comes with the speakers for them to sit on stand It sounds risky, but are more stable than you might think. All in all I am very happy. Good price. Great sound. Easy installation. I could not ask for much more, I think not. 6 of 6 people found this review helpful. Great sound and easy to install with Mike On 5/29/11 (After using the system for 2 weeks) Let me start by saying that the Onkyo home theater system is the first surround system I have ever had. I'm not what you would be a "audiophile" to call. So if you're looking for a more in-depth, technical review, I can not help you. I was surprised when the giant HT-S5400 package arrived at my house. The speakers, subwoofers, and receivers were all much bigger than I thought they would be. After briefly overwhelmed, I started working on the system configuration and finished faster than expected, although I am a beginner, I found this system very easy to configure. The cables are color and installation of surround speakers is very simple. No need for media o.
