Onkyo has introduced an easy-to-use and attractive home theater system that can add DVD video and multichannel surround sound to any TV in minutes. The LS-V955 system comprises a one-piece integrated 40-watt-per-channel surround receiver and progressive-scan DVD player, 150-watt powered subwoofer, and five stylish aluminum speakers designed to complement any video display.
The Onkyo LS-V955's one-piece DVD receiver features progressive-scan component video as well as composite and S-video, and standard A/V outputs for optimum compatibility with existing TVs. Built-in Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS decoders deliver 5.1-channel audio to the included speaker/subwoofer package for clear, dynamic sound effects and a multichannel soundstage that immerses viewers in the movie. The player is also compatible with CDs, CD-R/RWs, and even MP3-encoded discs, making the LS-V955 versatile and impressive as both an audio and home theater system.
The included six-speaker surround system includes slim extruded aluminum two-way front and surround satellites, a two-way horizontal center channel, and a 150-watt powered subwoofer for deep bass reproduction. The front left, front right, and center channel speakers each have a pair of 3.15" cone woofers flanking a 1" balanced dome tweeter, whereas the rear surround speakers use a single woofer and tweeter. All the speakers are magnetically shielded to prevent interference with video displays.
Color-coded terminals and intuitive design make setup and operation of the LS-V955 simple and fast. The receiver includes enough connections for as many as four additional components such as VCR, cable or satellite, and tape loop, making it work as a centerpiece for a home entertainment system. The unit also features a built-in FM/AM tuner with 30 presets. The LS-V955 includes a full-function preprogrammed/learning remote control that you can use to operate all the components in your home entertainment system, eliminating the "remote clutter" that plagues most entertainment systems.
The Onkyo LS-V955 integrated home theater system is now available for $1000.
