I'm saying three bills because of the following:
You'll need speaker stands/mounts, HDMI/ optical/ coaxial cables, and possibly a converter box.
For the optimum experience the speakers need to be set up right or you end up missing some of the sound. The stands and mounts take care of that.
HDMI cables are pretty much a no brainer and because there is only one you will need either a coaxial cable or a converter like another reviewer stated. I think my set up is the same. HDMI to TV with optical audio out from cable box to converter which becomes coaxial digital in back to receiver. Having this information beforehand made the installation pretty straightforward and painless.
This Philips HTIB is powerful and although it is lacking a manual EQ it has a handful of preset sound modes that push out a nice spectrum of tunes. The one add on that is not permanent is my PS3. The inconvenience with the PS3 setup is it uses the same optical line as the cable box (optical to digital)to the receiver.
Yes the speaker wires are thin but I don't believe it would make a discernible difference if they were any thicker. By the way, these wires are thin enough to slip behind baseboards without making it too difficult. The lengths of the speaker wires may be questionable but for my set up in a 12 X 15 room the length of wire feels about right. I think the disk tray as others have mentioned is weird. When it is opened at the receiver it seems to take quite awhile. But when I open the tray via the remote it seems to open a lot quicker.
I have used the receiver for music and it does well to pick up stations. The remote whether using it for a disc or radio surfing, has been very easy to use.
In reading other reviews I was concerned with the rats nest of cables associated with a system like this and thus looked into sound bars. I'm glad that I stuck with this because the little amount of wire/cables running on the sidelines is a small sacrifice instead of having to give up 5.1 channels for something like 3.1 that cost more.
This system also has an amazing upconversion. Cars, Matrix reloaded, Nemo, 300 (as with many other systems a little grainy), Shrek(s), Happy Feet, all look incredibly detailed. This is definitely a theater system the whole family can enjoy.
Best purchase this year. July 31, 2008

I have been looking for a good solution for my sound system. I don't want to go all out just yet with a 1500 system, but I don't want a crappy Insignia system. This is without a doubt a better than expected solution. I use this for Satellite and watching movies on my computer and my iPod. It brought a whole new life to my living room.
1000 watts is more than enough juice for a medium size living room, the bass is flawless and very powerful, I eventually had to turn it down. I does very good Dolby 5.1. The center speaker is loud enough, I do not have a problem not hearing diaglogue with music or action is going on in a movie.
The remote is very handy and easy to use. Yeah yeah, it's one more remote for the house but the ease of switching the surround mode and device is simple.
I highly reccommend these speakers, you will not be disappointed.
