(More customer reviews)I purchased this system for a Philips 46" LED-LCD TV. I've connected the TV to the unit with a digital audio cable.
A major flaw with the design of this system is that it forgets the source setting when you turn it off. When turned on, it defaults to the Blu-Ray player as the source for sound. In my case, when I want to hear the sound of my TV, I set the source to the TV's digital audio cable. When I turn the home theater system off, when turning it back on, the system "forgets" it was on the digital audio setting. So every time I want to watch TV with this unit, I have to turn the unit on and press "source" on the button 5 times before I can hear the sound.
This system was designed with the assumption that most consumers will use it primarily as a Blu-Ray player, and that's why the unit always defaults to the player as the source for sound. On 12/20/10, I spoke to Philips tech support and they confirmed the unit was designed this way. They don't have any software or firmware updates to resolve this problem. The only way I've worked around this problem is by purchasing a Philips universal remote (#SRU8112, about $35 on amazon.com) which has a macro feature. With the macro, the remote automatically sends the "source" signal 5 times for me.
