Not only do I have black bars, but when I set up my six speaker system, I don’t get consistent sound at all. Most of the sound just comes out of the center speaker in the front – NOTHING at all from the other five speakers. Then, occasionally, there’s a sound from the rear speakers for a few seconds and then it completely stops. I spent a thousand dollars on those 6 speakers and most of the time sound is only coming out of one of them. What a waste!

With the black bar problem and the inconsistent sounds from the speakers, I must conclude that this “home theater” experience is nothing but a complete joke and a total waste of my money. I’m selling it all and going back to my $50 dvd player and my 2 small speakers which work ALL the time!
