Summary: What a deal.
Review: Do not expect too much[]. Plays DVD/CD and comes with a Sub. For the money, it's a great gift, an excellent unit to put in an office or just about anywhere.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Small Entertainment System
Review: For the price, it is definitely worth buying. The Speakers sound great. The only problem is not all speakers work for various medium. For instance, all speakers work when youplay DVD, but not for CD nor VCD. The sound quality is still high. I would recommed not to put anything on top of the DVD Player, because it heats up pretty quickly. Overall, a good purchase.

Summary: Great price for a good system as long as it works
Review: For the unbelievable low price and the many features this unit promised, we couldn't resist and we just had to buy this system. And true, setup was quick and easy, and overall the sound was also very good for these relatively small satellite speakers. Just the speaker pair for the special effects was a little weak, but it was O.K. considering the low price. The best results came with playing music CDs over the system--I thought I was in a dance club and it was pretty powerful. After we watched about 10 DVDs over a couple of weeks or so, the DVD player started to have its problems as the picture became smudged. Then on the next viewing the screen had lines running in every direction and the picture was gone. After we checked all connections, we had to call the Norcent "Help"-Line which was answered immediately and the gentleman was friendly and helpful. After trying all possible fixes which were suggested by the Norcent Help-guy, nothing worked and the picture was not restored, and sadly we had to return the unit. It's a good deal and the product seems to be of acceptable sturdy quality, and as long as it works it can be enjoyed. But once a problem with the picture arises you may have to return the system unless you want to use it as a great sound system for your CDs--that might be worth it.

Summary: Bang for the BUCK !!
Review: Good One .. U cannot expect to get more when U get it for Cheap ... Throw any disc and it plays so far I have tried with the following formats DVD, CD, CDR, MP3,Kodak picture CD, VCD2-0, D VCD.
The Surround sound effects on Dolby Digitial DTS - DVD's was pretty hood.. however the catch is it plays all other disc's audio on just 3 speakers.
The SetUp and configuration was easy and they have a good Menu System. The instruction Manual is short - few pages only and I had to speak to there tech suppport who where very user freindly.
OverALL a GOOD BUY !!!

Summary: This is HOT
Review: I bought a different unit at Wal-Mart and looked at CC and Best buy. But I returned the Wal-Mart unit and could not find a unit this good for the money anywhere else. The Norcent has inputs for TV audio the other low priced pieces did not. This is great for the bedroom. it handles everything I need it to. Great deal!! Thank you. The picture is fantastic.

Summary: A [deal] for [not too much]
Review: I bought the DP-1600 system with a lot of skepticism to replace my 2 1/2 year old JVC DVD player that doesn't play mp3s. However I am pleasantly surprised by DP-600's value. I listened to my mp3 song collection for 6 hours last night and it was awesome (I have had it for less than 1 day now). It delivers good sound and the DVD picture is good as well. However, you have to use the S-Video output to get higher picture quality. The regular 3 pin input does not make you enjoy the movies.

Pros: Price, plays almost all formats(DVD, CD, VCD, CD-R, MP3, JPEG), provision for NTSC/ PAL output, slim design, easy to use remote.

Cons: Heavy (weighs a lot probably because of the built-in amplifier), "click" sound from the speakers when you move to the next song.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: You get what you pay for
Review: I bought this system after reading the many favorable reviews on Amazon.com. The setup instructions left a little to be desired, but it was fairly easy. Everything seemed fine and then, after about 3 weeks, the Front Right speaker went out. I tested the speaker and the wire which were both fine. With the exception of opening the case, there was no way for me to fix it. So, back in the box (which, of course, I didn't keep) and back to Amazon. Ordinarily, I try to stick with high-end stuff and I bought this for my kids. I learned my lesson with this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bang For Your Buck
Review: I bought this system because it was cheap and I really did not expect much. After opening the box and using it I was very satisfied. It is easy to assemble, easy to use, and has a lot of bang for your buck. I highly sugest this for anyone wanting a good entertainment center for a small room. Oh, it does not play VCD's and while watching regular TV you can only hear it from the 2 front & subwoofer speakers.
