Reviews of the Pioneer HTP-3800

CNET Review
The Good: The Pioneer HTP-3800 is a budget-priced home-theater system comprising a component-style A/V receiver and a 5.1-speaker system that's highlighted by a pair of two-way, wood tower speakers.
The Bad: The sound quality is lackluster, and the audio-only connectivity options preclude video source switching. The front speakers don't visually match the center and surround speakers. There's no DVD player included, so you'll have to supply one. And the small remote control is burdened with too many tiny buttons.
The Bottom Line: The Pioneer HTP-3800's high-style speakers were designed to match pricey plasma TVs, but their sound quality is low-rent.
