Junk January 18, 2008
Erik V. Jacobson
Bought this item from the store for 60 bucks. The remote worked...when it wanted to. There was nothing in the manual about how to program the presets on the remote either. The buzzing started in one speaker, then to another, thenm would stop.
Over time, it started to buzz and humm loudly and I would have to unplug it.
I never used it much so I don't know why it would have over heated. The only "real" off switch is on the rear of the sub so it gets to be a pain, plus you have to reset the levels after you turn it back on.
This thing is junk. Less than a month and it doesn't work anymore.
 Waste of money - ZERO Stars. December 31, 2007

Please do not waste your time or money with this system. Right out of the box after an hour of normal use the sub woofer started to make some horrible sounds. It was nice to have surround sound before that, but the quality was not very good at all. The speakers are so small the sound distorts at even low volume. Hopefully the store will take this back. It is not worth the $60 or time to just send it back for over heating and not being usable. There are 2 stereo inputs on the back and one input for 5.1 channels, sub woofer, center, FR, RL, RR, RL. Comes with 3 stereo cables. Spend the extra money and get some Creative, Klipsch, Logitech, or even Sony speakers. You will be happy you spent that extra 10 or 20 bucks. I couldn't remember the brand name of these speakers so I just did a google search for "over heated home theater 5.1 " Found it right away... Curtis is a name to forget.
 Everything overheats if used improperly December 22, 2007

previous review complained about over-heating. Xbox recently had issue over-heating made by microsoft. Electronics do generate heat and if you over use it it will over heat no matter how much and what brand it is. In case of this Curtis HT1B1000 Theater Surrond Sound System, the sound is commensurate to its price. Can't expect great if you expect it to perform like Pioneer or Sony while the price is only over 30 bucks. Good for PC, DVD player and a small audio or theater system. You get what its worth and it wont over heat if you don't overdo it. The Bad: it didn't cost too much to manufacture this and thus it has limited features. The Good: It does create a cinematic and theater like sound (5.1 dolby-effect). Ok for a small room like a dorm or a master's bedroom. The remote control has separate buttons for each set of speakers i.e. center, subwoofer and the surround effect plus has a master volume control. Good for its price range.
IT's a waste of money October 10, 2007

This product is ok... I have one for only a couple of month then it overheated and died on me... Not good for long use... Once it overheated, it is over...
