Remanufactured Philips HTS3400/37B DVD Home Theater System
DVD operation is very poor
While the price for this HTS is very nice, the performance is substandard.  There's a hissing sound when the unit is off.  The DVD player has trouble playing DVDs.  I have a large DVD collection & most of them don't play.  The surround quality is also very poor. It's a stretch to call it surround sound when half of the speakers don't put out much sound.  In order to get this serviced, I have to send it out for up to 3 months.  I bought a progressive DVD player, put the audio through the Phillips HTS 3400 and the video to the TV and suddenly the picture was better and the sound was better.
