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. Bought this item from the store for 60 bucks. 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. The remote worked.when it wanted to. Less than a month and it doesn't work anymore.
Spend the extra money and get some Creative, Klipsch, Logitech, or even Sony speakers. It is not worth the $60 or time to just send it back for over heating and not being usable. Right out of the box after an hour of normal use the sub woofer started to make some horrible sounds. You will be happy you spent that extra 10 or 20 bucks. 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. The speakers are so small the sound distorts at even low volume. Please do not waste your time or money with this system. Hopefully the store will take this back. 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.
It was nice to have surround sound before that, but the quality was not very good at all. Curtis is a name to forget.
The Bad: it didn't cost too much to manufacture this and thus it has limited features. Xbox recently had issue over-heating made by microsoft. You get what its worth and it wont over heat if you don't overdo it. The remote control has separate buttons for each set of speakers i.e. Good for PC, DVD player and a small audio or theater system. center, subwoofer and the surround effect plus has a master volume control. 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. previous review complained about over-heating. Can't expect great if you expect it to perform like Pioneer or Sony while the price is only over 30 bucks. 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. Good for its price range.
I have one for only a couple of month then it overheated and died on me. Not good for long use. This product is ok. Once it overheated, it is over.
