i enjoyed my curtis surround sound system when hooked up to the dvd player but this product cannot come close to volume control when trying feed it through the tv as soon as i turn it on it gets really loud and since i still live at home ( with other people asleep) i am finding it hard to connect it. i have a dynex tv that i just bought and it doesnt have the best sound but it is better than no volume control. any help?

I don’t get the volume thing, I have a philips surround system which can’t connect to tv to get surround sound because the tv only has digital audio out. I have never been able to control the volume of the surround system through the tv only ever by using the Philips remote or the vol buttons on the system. As for not being able to get surround aound from ble ray have you tried connecting your tv to the system to get surround sound from anything connected to the tv? This is what I will be doing when I get 1 of these so I get surround from sky, blu ray and freeview.

What do you guys think about your Curtis Home Theatre System DVD6091? Would you buy this again?
I would still buy this if the price is still under $50 but Not for more than $50 because I’m not amazed with it.

Just bought the curtis dvd6091 an open box item from HH Greg for $30.00, what a deal I thought when I realize there was not a remote with the system.

Hey Chris
I’m stuck with the Curtis system myself because my tv is installed on the wall mount and I can’t access the back because I need help lifting it up so I just used the Curtis. The volume is not that bad but not “crazy” loud.
My BluRay is completely useless for this because it doesn’t have the speaker outputs for LF, RF, center, SR, SL. I have a feeling that I need a surround sound receiver but I don’t have the budget for that yet.

I just use the Curtis volume. I set it to the highest setting of Curtis’s settings.
I always believe that “you get what you pay for” so for this price, I guess we have to deal with this.

By the way if you find a way to control the volume from your tv or BluRay or used the speakers without using the Curtis dvd player please share it with me.
What kind of tv do you have?
