Overview
A home theater buyer gets an AV receiver, one center channel speaker, two front speakers, two surround speakers and a subwoofer in one package. Speaker wire and a subwoofer cable are included, and the receiver adds Bluetooth, Ethernet and several digital inputs.
Buy it for a ready-made surround setup with a receiver that handles current video standards. The limitation is power data: one wattage figure is listed and not broken down, and the software update history is unknown.
Who it's for
Movie and gaming households ready to run speaker wire to a center, fronts and surrounds will get a complete package. Apartment renters or anyone wanting a cable-free setup should look at a soundbar-based system.

Performance notes
The receiver passes ultra high definition video and HDR formats to the TV, while the five speakers and subwoofer handle the audio. Placement of the center, fronts and surrounds decides how well dialogue and effects separate. Bluetooth, Pandora and AM/FM provide audio sources beyond the TV.
