Product Description The HT-S4100 is the perfect platform for integrating virtually any iPod for audio playback. When connected to the RI Dock, you can control your iPod with the system's remote control. CinemaFILTER restores the correct tonal balance for a movie soundtrack playing in the smaller confines of your home theater. CinemaFILTER can be used with DTS and Dolby listening modes, and is easily activated from your remote control. Built around a component taken directly from Onkyo's A/V receiver line-up, this package gives you unsurpassed levels of control, power and reliability. The gloss finish of the accompanying speakers gives it a visual appeal that matches the undeniable quality of the HT-S4100's A/V performance. The receiver's rear panel is designed so that you can connect it easily to your A/V components and speakers. Component video inputs/output are conveniently located on the top left of the rear panel along with the digital inputs for Dolby and DTS surround signals. 5.1-multichannel inputs can connect to compatible DVD and Blu-ray Disc players to receive audio output from high-definition discs.

Good system except for subwooferNovember 11, 2008 1 out of 4 found this review helpful
I set this system up and enjoyed the great sound but the subwoofer made a humming noise. Onkyo said that it needed repair and sent me to a certified technician. For me, that is an hour drive. The tech said the power transformer was busted but they couldn't get a new part from Onkyo. So I called Onkyo again and they said to return the entire system to Amazon, which I did. After a couple more hours of driving and packing it up. It seems there is a quality control issue at Onkyo so I will stay away from their products in the future. The tech recommended Bose, Yamaha, and JBL/Infinity.
nice for the moneyOctober 31, 2008 I bought this on amazon for $100 less than i saw it in stores...its a nice setup for the money....i just wish it had an HDMI hookup. sounds is good and plenty for my room size.
Quality at a great priceOctober 24, 2008 Im very pleased with my Onkyo,I was looking for a solid performer at a fair price and found it with the Onkyo HT-S4100.
Onkyo ht-s4100October 12, 2008 We are very pleased with this Onkyo HT-S4100 5.1 channel home entertainment system.. My heart (and ears) were set on a Bose system, but could'nt afford it. We are very happy with this one for the price. Good quality sound..Sandy

This is my first 5.1 reciever and so far I am happy with my purchase. My first impressions were that everything was larger than expected, the sub sits about a foot and a half off of the floor. I had planned to use my tv to recieve hdmi from a dvd player and an xbox 360 and then pass the audio through a single optical cable to the onkyo. However I have just learned my model toshiba lcd does not pass an hd audio signal from any incoming sources. So I have a few extra cables run but not a big deal.
The Ipod dock works great, you can turn on the ipod and navigate through it's menu's using the onkyo's remote. The FM antenna wire that is provided is garbage, but the tuner works perfectly and picks up stations I didn't know existed.
The sound from digital sources is great and there is no distortion throughout the volume range. The sub does not sound as powerful as I expected but I will give is some time to break in. Once you configure the speaker settings everything sounds balanced and matched, which it should they are basically all the same speaker. There is not much of a usable equalizer just basic treble and bass adjustments. I don't notice it much watching movies but for music it's hard to fine tune sound.
Everything was simple and straightforward and most important it sounds great. A nice value for a small or mid sized room great for watching movies. It takes the guesswork out of matching up components and speakers.
