Phillips Blue Ray Home theater in a box system Theater System HTS3106/F7 is a flawless home theater setup.
Picture, sound and connectivity all have the right parts and perform their assigned tasks perfectly.
We would like to see more than one HDMI port in a more accessible part of the machine. Other than that, this home theater in a box system is the standard-bearer for all other systems in this category.
The Philips HTS3306/F7 has 1000 Watt Blu-ray Home Theater System brings cinema-quality video, 5.1-channel surround sound, and online media streaming to your living room.
This Blu-ray Home Theater features NetTV functionality, which gives you wireless access to online content-streaming services such as Netflix, Vudu, Internet radio, and more. The system comes with a six-piece speaker set.
Stunning Blu-ray Playback
High-grade circuitry and video technologies help the Blu-ray player make the most of your high-definition video content. The player wirelessly streams Blu-ray disc content in stunning 1080p resolution, creating a crisp, vivid image. The player also uses a 24 frames-per-second (fps) rate, which helps preserve the cinematic quality of the original film, allowing you to view the movie as the director intended.Access Wireless Online Content with NetTV and BD Live
This Blu-ray Home Theater gives you access to an array of different online content providers. The player connects to your home Wi-Fi network, letting you enjoy video streaming services such as Vudu, Netflix, FilmFresh, and Blockbuster on your TV. You'll also be able to wirelessly stream music, listen to Internet radio stations, and more. And thanks to its BD Live support, the player can download online Blu-ray content, so you can engage more closely with your favorite movies.Six-Speaker Set Creates Expansive Soundstage
The home theater system comes with five satellite speakers and a subwoofer, which combine to create an immersive soundstage that is reminiscent of what you'd hear at a cinema. With their 3-inch woofers and fine audio components, the satellite speakers reproduce both high and low frequencies with faithful, crisp detail. Meanwhile, the passive subwoofer produces resonant, thumping bass that fills every corner of your room with sound.Additionally, Dolby TrueHD ensures that your movie's audio track is reproduced flawlessly, while Dolby Digital Plus optimizes the balance between all eight audio channels.
Enhanced DVD Content with Video Upscaling
The player renders DVD media in high-definition detail. It upscales standard-definition images to 1080p resolution, which dramatically improves image detail and deepens color content. Progressive scan restores missing pixels, eliminates line artifacts, and sharpens blurred edges to enhance picture quality. In addition, the player's HDMI output transfers the DVD's audio content directly to your TV without compression--delivering sound that is completely free of noise.What's in the Box

Overall the system is great. It installed easily, the wireless connection connected the first time, and it sounds great and shows a great picture on the screen. This was a fantastic value for the money. The only faults I have are that there is only one HDMI connection and there is no optical audio in, only a coax or traditional R/L connection jacks. I would have liked to hook up my cable box and video game to the system as well as the TV with HDMI pass through. Another area for improvement would have been a lower frequency response on the subwoofer, but it was the same as others in this price range so that might not be a fair observation.
