Sorry, Ive been meaning to post but Ive been busy :(

They sound very good. I am very impressed but...

The entire system is really designed for use with a 360; the remote control is all about the 360. To switch to a non-360 source you have to slide down a cover on the remote.
Oh and you can only use 1 of the optical inputs if you dont have a 360. The amp expects a 360 to be connected to the 360 input. So if like me you are just plugging in an external DVD player, you have to the use the "digital" input. This means that on the remote pressing DVD does nothing as the unit expects you to be using the 360 as the dvd player, so you have to slide the little drop down cover and pick "digital" input.

All that said I think it is quite a nice system and for a 360 owner looking for a cheap 5.1 setup, this is very good at £150. For a non-360 owner, Id be tempted to look at other solutions especially if you need 2 or more digital inputs.
