A DVD player with 1080p upscaling is also included. However, this system can easily accommodate an additional Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD player. The Onkyo HT-SP908 is powerful with clear and almost surreal sound. It is easy to setup. Because the speakers are heavy they need stronger speaker stands. The Wide Range Amplifier Technology will fill your room with noise-free, impressively powerful, true-to-life sound. It was originally developed for Onkyo’s most expensive high-end amplifiers to handle the sonic demands of today’s digital age, you’ll now find WRAT even in Onkyo’s lowest-priced A/V receivers. The WRAT technology includes a broader frequency range with lower noise entering the signal path. A user commented that overall he is very happy with this entertainment system and found it utterly to his satisfaction. The Onkyo HT-SP908 is great as a home theater and a home stereo system. For its price no other systems can beat it, thus it is a good buy.
