Product Description
The HT-S3100 covers today's key entertainment options. The HT-S3100 has a trademark amplification design that puts power and precision before all else. Onkyo's High Current Power Supply (H.C.P.S.) concept ensures that you will always have the power to respond to the wide dynamics of surround sound. When the sound is attenuated in a conventional amplifier, the audio signal drops close to the noise floor at low volumes, thereby tainting the signal. Onkyo's Optimum Gain Volume Circuitry adjusts the gain so that less than half the standard amount of attenuation is necessary. The gloss finish of the speakers accentuates the minimalist styling of today's displays. An equivalent technology from Dolby Digital, Pro Logic II, also brings you multichannel sound from regular stereo, for a more expansive home cinema experience. CinemaFILTER restores the correct tonal balance for playing a movie soundtrack in the smaller confines of your home theater. CinemaFILTER can be used with DTS and Dolby listening modes, and is easily activated from your remote control. If you use the OR-EQ equalizer button, you'll get a more powerful, direct sound from movie sources. Color-Coded Speaker Terminals Easy-Set Speaker Configuration Crossover Adjustment (40/50/60/80/100/120/150/200 Hz) Compatible with RI (Remote Interactive) Dock for the iPod A/V Sync Control Function (Fixed at 0/20/40 ms) Full-Function RI (Remote Interactive) Remote Control HTP-360 5.1-Channel Home Theater Speaker System Tuning Frequency Range - FM 87.5 MHz-107.9 MHz and AM 530 kHz-1710 kHz Front Speaker - 4 x 10-3/4 x 4-3/4 (101x273x121mm), 2.2 pounds (1.0 kg) Center Speaker - 10-3/4 x 4 x 4-3/16 (273x101x106mm), 2.2 pounds (1.0 kg) Surround Speaker - 4 x 10-3/4 x 4-3/4 (101x273x121mm), 1.5 pounds (0.8 kg) Subwoofer Speaker - 9-5/8 x 16-1/8 x 14-5/8 (245x410x372mm), 14.6 pounds (6.6 kg)

5 out of 5 stars Very happy with this home stereo   October 31, 2008
C. Lung (Texas, USA)
I bought this with hopes it was going to be able to fill my living room with full sound. Since I have a very open floor plan, my ceiling in the living room is about 20 feet high and flows into the second floor of the house over a large balcony. This stereo definitely has the power to fill the room with sound. I can easy fill the entire house with sound.

I haven't yet used this for music, only movies and T.V. I tested it out using a few DVDs like Star Wars Episode II, III and to me it sounds just like the theater. Overall I'm very happy with this stereo and the price was just right.

I can't really think of any complaints.



4 out of 5 stars Good entry level 5.1.   September 10, 2008
Russell Staheli
For the price and simplicity of setup, you can't get any better. The sub leaves much to be desired, if I was to do it over again I wouldn't have gone with passively powered. Speaker build and sound quality are better than any other <$300 dollar system I have ever heard.


5 out of 5 stars Great value   September 9, 2008
Hua Hui (NJ)
I bought this set for my parents who're not sophisticated users, but want good sound quality for music and movies. After comparing more than 10 different sets, the HT S3100 was probably the best I could get in the price range. The installation is fairly easy. Overall sound quality is great, although I wish the bass could be a little for stronger. It doesn't have HDMI port, but that's probably why the price is highly competitive on Amazon.


4 out of 5 stars Pretty good system   June 24, 2008

This is a pretty good system. I love electronic "toys", but I am not super high tech savvy. I needed a new surround system because my old one (total 150 watts!!!) crashed. I also wanted one that I could plug my PS2 into, because God Of War kicks quite a lot of butt in surround sound. Got it fairly inexpensively (with shipping, I think it came to $[...]. Set up was NOT easy, contrary to what I've read elsewhere -- it took me forever to get it to surround sound mode -- was having trouble with the back speakers being mute until I clicked it over to "multi CH SP" or something like that. Sounds simple, but it really wasn't. There is a slight hiss for the speakers that major tech guys will probably find annoying, but I don't really notice it except when there is a moment of silence, like between commercials or whatever. The instruction manual was not very helpful, but I finally got everything hooked into it, and I'm very happy. DVD's/CD's sound AWESOME on it, but you may need to adjust so that the bass is a little louder than the factory settings. The funny thing is, I haven't played my PS2 on it yet, but it should be just as good as DVD's. So overall, very happy with the system!
