Good Points
Good sound quality and selection of media it plays.
Bad Points
Push buttons on front of system are not precise and the whole push button bar goes in when depressed.
General Comments
With a limited budget and my first purchase of a cinema home system I went stright to the low end of the available systems. The Bush DVDAV11K at €149.00 seemed to be a good buy here in Dublin from Argos. Having set up the whole system I was impressed with sound quality and the controls. Two remotes for sound and player functions. then the first fault became quite apparent. The picture was in black and white only. No colour.
The machine was re-packaged and returned to Argos for replacement. The second machine was tested without connecting up all the speakers and this time I had colour. Whoopee! Within 10 seconds the colour faded and I was back to Black & White. This now two days before Xmas.
Obviously this was returned, but now I have no faith in Bush (including the quality assured sticker). I replaced this with an Acoustic Solutions DVD150AS at €10.00 cheaper and it works a treat.
Thus endeth the tale and I will never go near Bush again. I just hope someone from Bush reads this, as I could not find a Bush website with a complaints section. BE WARNED.

by quality sticker, do you mean the " ! 10.5 kg " sticker on the box ?
