Strengths: NONE
Weaknesses:Doesn't read any DVDs.
Overall Evaluation: This is the worst product I ever purchased in my life. It couldn't read my brand new DVDs. It plays movie from USB drive. Don't ever buy this home theater. Just google about this product, you will see thousands of people complaining about 'No Disc' issue.

Strengths: Stylish, HDMI output, up convert to 1080, good sound for 2.1 system, play multiple format including mp3, divx, etc
Weaknesses:Lack individual treble, bass control.
Overall Evaluation: This HTIB is a great buy for 2.1 system. If you are lack of space, don't want to wire around the room with 5.1 system, this one can provide good quality sound, support a lot of playback format, with HDMI, and still within budget. It looks very stylish, and fit any modern furniture elegantly. The setup is straight-forward. It has a lot of features in a small box, such as it has dvd playback up convert to 1080 -- excellent image quality, it can play picture sideshow from usb connector, it can play many disc formats. The sound can't compare to real 5.1 surround, but that's the issue for all 2.1 system, even for bose 321, which is much expensive than this HTS6500. One problem is it's lack of individual treble, bass control, just limited preset like "action", etc. Another annoying thing is I have both Philips HDTV and this box set up together, the power control in hts6500's remote sometimes turn on/off TV unexpectedly.

Strengths: easy install, easy use, and only 2 speakers ans 1 sub. Good for movies in such price
Weaknesses:not true 5.1
Overall Evaluation: This unit is pretty good. 2.1 can simulate 5.1 and it is suitable for watching moives in small room. it is very easy to install. the short is you can not adjust bass. I also found there is static noise when the unit standby. I called philips support, they told me it was not normal ans suggest me exchange new one from merchant.The static noise only showed in system santby. When I play moives or liten music, there is no static noise.I also notice that, a few people said the DVD player would broken down after several month lightly using. I will see what happen when I get new unit and use it a while.this one is good enough for small home. you shouldn't compare it with boss321 or danon.I satisfied it.

Strengths: good surround sound from only 2.1 speakers
Weaknesses:you cannot adjust bass by yourself
Overall Evaluation: this model is suitable for who has small room, and is tired for wires. I just use this one for DVD moives and music. some sides I don't like: 1, one cd, not 5 cd exchange. 2, couldn't adjust bass. 3, surround not as good as boss321 ( sure, price is here!) all in all, it is good enough to me.

Strengths: Good picture quality; playes PAL discs
Weaknesses:Surround sound
Overall Evaluation: This is a good, solid home theater in a box. Plays very well PAL DVDs I brought from Europe, once you switch it to region free coding (open disc tray; press 9, 9, 9, 9, 0). Excellent image quality - using HDMI cable to see on my Philips PDP. As for sound, well, it's a just a 2.1 - don't expect wonders from the virtual surround...
