its not digital surround, only pro logic, which means no 5.1 surround for you dvd fans

I did a little search and found this for 159-199 at other sites + shipping (I didn't bother to calculate it but one site had 19.00 listed for ups ground). So with free shipping, I'm in.

There's a $10/100 floating around for returning customers. Is this a decent setup for music only?

hmm...ENERGY STAR COMPLIANT.

I never once gave a second thought to energy compliance when considering audio equipment. The more wattage, the better.

As commOdog pointed out, this is only Dolby Pro Logic; it's not Dolby Digital, so forget about DTS. The sound is not sharp (no pun intended) at high level on this unit; you get what you pay for, even at this price - my 2 cents

I'd just get one of these to hook it up to the computer and replace my cheap computer speakers. You can pay over $129 for a good pair of computer speakers, so why not get a whole surround sound system for the same price. *IF* I were in the US, I'd order this, but I'm not, so I won't. Boohoo.

I ordered this and if you add about 21 bucks more. I ordered a Cell phone headphone for $20.88 your purchase is now worth 150.88. Using the $30 off $150 brings the price down to $126. (5 bucks shipping now). Still cheaper than the $129 and you get a free head phone. The coupon is from American Express (But you don't have to use an AE card). I can't post the coupon here, but found a great coupon site from the Alien board in their hot section.

Here's a link to Sharp's product info:HERE , not too much more info than the buy.com stuff, but some. Right now it says there are 89 left, I don't care too much about 5.1 so it seems like a good deal to me.


EDIT: be sure to click the detailed spec link on the right..still not as detailed as I would like.

If you like to watch movies than you must be into DVD. If you are into DVD you know that you at least need Dolby Digital 5.1, if you've ever heard it.
As for listening to music with this, the SHARP site doesn't even list the THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) so I bet it's REALLY HIGH.

I have a feeling this unit really IS SUCK.

Don't let them take your money for this antique.

I would recommend saving up for a GOOD sounding system, quality speakers cost $$$ too.

They don't list the THD or any other measurements besides the demensions and weight. It seems like the description is more focused on features than specs. That doesn't mean they must suck, I have an older sharp component system and it's actually prety good. Of course, it is mass market stuff. I'll let you know how it sounds when I get it. I'm sure it will be better than the cheap speakers I have on my computer now.

I like Sharp electronics. when I was taking math in highschool you could buy a sharp calculator for $15 that had three times the functions of a TI calc that cost twice the price. Of course now I have a TI-85 which I haven't used to do more then simple addition for three years....though it did help me pass a class in college. Anyway....
