Weapon X

I don't have the model # handy, but it runs $579(Circuit City) and includes a Kenwood DVD player, DTS reciever, some tiny speakers, and a powered Sub-Woofer.

Is this a good HT system for a bedroom?

I have to take back a crappy JVC receiver and a KLH Sub which I have just read is due to die...

And I needed an under $200 DVD player, so this makes sense.

From most reports, the only issue with the Kenwoods is a questionable center speaker, and the rest of the Speakers are not Audio-Phile quality.

Any info would be cool.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if this is the package you're talking about or not but in the latest Circuit City sales paper they have a Kenwood DD system that includes the receiver, all five speakers and a subwoofer on sale for $279.99 (after a $20 rebate). The model number is HTB203A.

I don't think it comes with a DVD player just the Home theater system.

Weapon X

It does come with a none-too impressive looking single tray DVD player...but it seems the Kenwood DVD player lines have gotten adequate to good reviews.

I believe it is at the website for Circuit City.

I'm grabbing one tonight, so I guess I get to answer my own Q.

the flyer i have from sundays paper says "2 day special sunday & monday only" and inside the front cover is the kenwood HTB203A. It just says reciever, remote, 5 surround speakers and subwoofer for 279.99 $20 off the regular 299 price. Nothing about a DVD player in the reciever or with it.

Weapon X

Yes..that model wasn't the DTS model, and no DVD player.

I ALMOST got one, but the sound settings(Using backwards decibels)just didn't "sit" right with a non-audio type like myself...

I also toyed with it and found the volume lacking, and the face intimidating and hard to use. I was very bummed.

So, I might keep my crappy RCA rear surrounds and get a new Center, the Sony Sub, and a decent reciever.

I can upgrade later on the rear speakers.

I think the model you are referring to is the HTB-503DV. It is the same as the HTB-503, but comes with a separate DVD player. The HTB-503 is widely considered as the best HTIAB that money can buy. So although the reciever and speakers are good for the money, I can't comment on the DVD player that it comes with.
