Comments about Onkyo Onkyo HT-S907 Black 7.1-Channel Home Theater System:
This is the first time I am installing a home theater. I did it okay with color-coded wires. I have calibrated using auto calibration suggested in the manual. I listened to audio. It was excellent. While watching movies I found that auto calibration's center speakers is set on higher side and sub woofer setting to lower side than to my liking. I have called Onkyo support and asked them for suggestion, they told me that I can change setting to my liking and still it will not affect the room acoustics point of view. Therefore, I did it and watched Lion King with my family. We all liked it. My kids enjoyed sound effects saying the it matched the movie theater level.
Some have pointed out that wires provided are too thin. To my basic physics knowledge thin wires still transmit only thing is that they have more resistance. One may opt for monster cable 14 gauge. I am going to change speaker wires shortly with that. I do not have HDTV. Therefore, I cannot say much about DVDs up conversion feature. I already have Ipod dock. It gave me good picture to news podcasts and un heard sound quality to my mp3 music.
Over all I am very satisfied.

I'm not huge audio freak but the sound is excellent from this system. The only two negatives are: the DVD player is deeper than your average player and the speaker cable is pathetically thin. The DVD player's depth caused me to have to return the stand I purchased and find another one locally that was a bit deeper. [...]
