Thomson SA RT2770 Home Theater System

receiver roars when I turn it on

Pros: Great for a novice like me

Cons: Receiver roars when I turn it on for 30 seconds

Please could someone tell me why the receiver is starting to roar when I turn it on? The tv is on, it is sometimes in mono but roars if in stereo program. I just want to know if it is going bad. I have had it three weeks or so. I leaveit on external speakers and just watch tv with it, is that ok???

The sound was amazing!

Pros: I like how the speakers were small but they were still loud, liked how it looked, and liked the way it sounded.

Cons: ---none---

When I first looked at in in walmart, i was amazed at the price, $150.00! And I also liked that it was an RCA, so i bought it and took it home. When I took it out of the box I was amazed at the receiver, you would expect it to be cheap for $150.00 but it was big and heavy duty like one that would cost over $300.00
Then when I set all the speakers around my room I pulged it in, turned it on and pulged in my ipod to it the sound was amazing. You could feel the bass at your feet when I cranked the subwoffer on hig and cranked up the volume.
So all in all this RCA home theater system is highly recomened for anybody who wants to buy a great home theater system.

Great Deal!

Pros: EASY setup, pre-configured surround modes, enough power

Cons: spkr wires are built in, and too short, only 1 digital input, no HDMI or video selection

Wow! If you want great sound. This is simple to setup and maybe the most bang-for-the-buck! Don't worry about setting up rear spkrs, they can be joined to the front "like Bose cubes." I really like that because I don't have to get spkr stands or worry about running wires... I wish it had more digital input and video selection... hahah but that would add 100-200 more to the price! Have not had to deal with support.
