HTS-3405
By Frank
This review is actually for the HTS-3405 5.1 system.Supplied through Richer Sounds with an excellent delivery service - they even call you to let you know within the hour when delivery will be made!System was very easy to set up, although speaker wire is (very) thin, sound quality is good through normal sd broadcasts, but really comes alive with hd and bluray. You do get quite a lot for the money, and the speakers, although quite small, are fully up to the job. I really liked the integrated RIHD system that automatically turns the Onkyo on when powering up my Panasonic tv or bluray player. There are also lots of different sound settings to play with.The RDS radio is a bit of an add-on, although I'm sure some will use it. Sound quality isn't great, but acceptable.Well worth the money and the service from Richers was excellent!

Brought the HTS3405 DESPITE some reviews slating the quality of the passive bass system; I can only conclude said reviewers did not set the system up correctly!Sound is very, very good, with enough bass to seriously upset the neighbours.The amp and speakers look good and have the feel of quality of a much more expensive system.Playing music or just listening to the radio is a pleasure watching a movie demands popcorn and a large Coca-cola.It you wish to buy a surround system on a budget, you could do a lot worse than buying this

By Alex
Nowadays anyone who impulse buys just because the marketing gurus have pushed a button, deserves what they get. My disposable income has been squeezed just like most of us and for every penny I spend I expect value. I went through dozens of reviews and several months deliberating before deciding to buy this Onkyo HTS3405 package as my Christmas present to myself.And I am THRILLED with the outcome.To qualify this it is necessary that potential buyers understand that this Onkyo rates with Yamaha and Pioneer base lines in terms of quality of product and capability, but at a price which the more budget minded of us can live with.I guess it's also important to define what is expected from the unit. Straight off I love music and films, and so the input hardware units (DVR, B-Ray, Satellite) and the destination TV have to be part of the compatibility and cost factors. (Gamers will have to apply their own credentials - sorry!).Let's take the (most important) requirements for the TV. When you opt for this Onkyo you get a sound system at this price which has no equal. You don't have to pay for a TV which is rated and priced for its sound performance. Primary focus is PICTURE. It's wise though to get a telly with SPIDF optical sound connection for flexibility and at least 2 HDMI connections. Most of the modern units have this but its worth the check. I won't go into the merits of TV Plasma vs LED vs LCD. It all depends on what the viewer watches or plays games on most often. Sport enthusiasts should ask like reviewers for feedback.Panasonic sell the most Plasma TV units in the USA and that is a massive commendation for Plasma. Frankly their reviews are impressive. So I decided the Plasma was for me. Loved the Panasonic but it was not in the budget range. Instead I chose a Samsung PS43D450HD (TESCO DIRECT). It is relatively basic in terms of connection capability and stand alone sound is average, but it is MAGNIFICENT in near perfect picture reproduction.The value is in the fewer bells and whistles for a TV this size. It has built in Freeview which is fine. But if you want to take advantage of the 4 HD channels available at the moment from our National Broadcasters then you should get a Freeview HD box. I use the Icecrypt (AMAZON) which is really good in that it upscales to near HD as well. I also have (and have had for well into my second contract year) BT vision which only transmits HD ON DEMAND PAY MOVIES. Please assess this carefully if this is what you expect cos all other stuff is in SD. I cannot comment on Sky as I have no experience of this.Finally what would you marry this Onkyo to if you want DVD or Bluray MOVIES? My choice is the Sony BDSP 380 player (AMAZON) with Smart internet connection and Love Film options.Conclusion: I paid under £800 for ALL the above kit, which is some bargain for a system of this calibre.Feel free to drop me a line if you feel I can be useful in your decision making or if you have hassles setting up.Regards. Alex.
