JBL Cinema ProPack 600

Pros: Tiny surround speakers, true center-channel, incredible subwoofer, world-class receiver, quality DVD changer
Cons: To be REALLY picky...large components, somewhat squirrely remote, speaker mounts only adjust horizontally

Before I tell you why The JBL Cinema ProPack 600 is the best Home Theater in a box (HTIB) system that I have ever seen or, more importantly, heard let me explain why I decided to buy an HTIB in the first place....

Pros: Easy set-up, everything you need straight out-of-the-box, 5-disc changer, great value/quality for the price
Cons: DVD player needs work, remote/programming too complicated

I've had the Cinema ProPack II for about 4 1/2 years, originally purchased at Best Buy as my first DVD player and to replace my stereo entirely. The theatre system is great, with excellent sound for the level and price of this product. Interestingly, the ...

Pros: Great sound quality considering the size of the satellites.
Cons: Rather large amp and changer. DVD player occasionally skips on DVD with lots of extras.

I bought the JBL Cinema Propak 600 (Model I) refurbished from Ubid. If you buy a refurb unit be sure to get it from Harmon Audio or an approved reseller like Ubid or no warranty coverage is provided! Had it about 4 months and am very pleased. I replaced...

Pros: Sound, Price, DVD Changer + Receiver
Cons: Remote, Documentation

I am quite disappointed from JBL. Pros - Great sound - Connections of the Receiver - ...

Pros: None that I can think of.
Cons: Everything; don't buy one of these.

I received one of these units as a Christmas gift this year, and that's probably the best thing about it - at least I didn't waste my own money on this system. I have never owned a home theater system before, so maybe it's just me ... but I think the ...

Pros: Great system with matched componets
Cons: Remote control layout not for human hands!

I was shopping for a home theater componets for a while. My wife finally pushed me to "get something". I was going to go the componet route and pick each piece. The home theater in a box concept was a little wild for me to believe. I must say that the...

Pros: GOOD SOUND QUALITY, 5 DISK CHANGER, NICE SATELITE SPEAKERS
Cons: TERRIBLE REMOTE; NO FIBER OPTIC OUTPUT ON DVD CHANGER; NO AMPLIFIED PHONO JACK; SUBWOOFER RATTLES.

I BOUGHT THIS SYSTEM IN OCTOBER 2001. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FOND OF JBL PRODUCTS AND THIS ONE WAS BRAND NEW AND SOUNDED GREAT IN THE STORE SO I DECIDED TO BUY IT. IT APPEARED TO HAVE EVERYTHING THAT I WANTED IN ONE BOX. ONCE I GOT IT HOME I STARTED...

Pros: Great system, really brings the movies to life.
Cons: Small speaker. They do sound good, but I'd like just a little more.

I've had my JBL Cinema ProPack 600 Home Theater System for close to 2 years now. I love the sound of it. I did add a 12" 250watt powered JBL subwoofer to go with this system. I am planning on upgrading my speakers to the JBL NORTHRIDGE NSP1 to replace the small speakers that came with the system. I'm a major audiophile and JBL is in the tops in my honest opinion.
