Audiovox DV1201
$120.00
Released September, 2004
The Pros:Radio tuning capabilities are excellent - integrated tuner is capable of playing back stations far beyond the reach of many dedicated radio units. Excellent option for users who frequency watch import/out-of-region DVDs - NTSC/PAL format switch provides native support of foreign content.
The Cons:DVD playback is seemingly inconsistent - several users report component malfunction within as little as 6 months of use. Built-in cabinet fan is very loud - may cause considerable user distraction, especially throughout spoken-word dialogue content. Many users report cabinet fan failure, and potential total unit failure within as little as 100 days - not conducive to the unit's 90-day limited warranty.
Audiovox's DV1201 Home Theatre System is an entry-level 5.1 setup. The 300-watt system includes five identical satellite speakers and one subwoofer. Includes one composite A/V input, and outputs include component video, composite RCA, S-video and digital coaxial.

Speakers appear highly-prone to static/feedback issues - possible due to poor build quality/lack of grounded wire connections

Included remote control is inconsistent and awkward to use - commonly requires several attempts to register a successful key command, with a crowded layout inhibiting user experience
