An awesome package for an awesome price,

This review is from: Creative Labs PlayWorks 5.1 DTT2500 Digital Gaming Speakers for the PC and PlayStation2 (Personal Computers)
The Playworks DTT2500 is an awesome deal for the current 5.1 surround systems available. Its easy to use control box allows you to switch from 4 point to 5.1 surround easily, and the cables that are included are long enough so that you can put the fronts and rears virtually anywhere. You'll also get a Digital DIN cable, which you can use if you have an SBLive! and would like all digital sound. Even though this is a small system, it is still able to pack a punch. Music sounds great on this system, clarity from the satellites with powerful bass from the subwoofer. Sound is very realistic as you move around in games. A realistic feel. As for movies, the DTT2500 system incorporates the 5.1 dolby digital sound, setting it apart from old technology such as pro logic. Movies, Games, Music: all sound great on this system...A real treat for anyone.

After comparing the Creative Playworks DTT2500 with the Yamaha TSS1B and the Altec Lansing ADA890 for a 5.1 Dolby Digital system for the PS2; the DTT2500 was my choice. This compact desktop theater is very compatible with the Sony PS2, using the optical audio connector.I also have a mono VCR connected to the line in 1/8" input using a single regular RCA cable with an attached stereo 1/8" adapter (mono 1/8" will not work). By setting the CMSS mode to Music and the Digital Surround mode to Digital In, it uses simulated surround sound well from a mono VCR/CableTV. This method uses all 6 speakers. Having a stereo VCR should give much better sound.If you play audio CD's from the PS2, it is best to use CMSS mode at Stereo (Digital Surround mode automatically is disabled). This method only uses the main left & right speakers and subwoofer. Of course, you can play cd's with the same settings as my mono VCR and use all six speakers; the resulting sound will be...Read more

This review is from: Creative Labs PlayWorks 5.1 DTT2500 Digital Gaming Speakers for the PC and PlayStation2 (Personal Computers)
I got this system to hook up to my PS2. At first I hesitated to get it because(at this time) it seems that the description listed above is for the Creative Labs *Desktop* 5.1 DTT2500, which does not have the optical input needed to hook up to the PS2. I took my chances and gambled that this was the one that I wanted and bought it anyway. Well it paid off because this IS the one with the optical input and man does it sound great. The first thing that inpressed me was the the packaging of the system. Every single component was bagged and taped up neatly; it kinda shows this companies attention to detail...it may sound weird but if you get it you'll see what I mean. It comes with everything you to get started, cables, adapter cables, speaker stands, etc, etc. The sound is amazing! I put on FIFA 2001: the crowd was chanting in the background thru the four satalites, the commentators were talking thru the center speaker, and you could feel every hit of the ball thru the subwoofer...Read more
