Technology and Quality of The Product
Overall, the quality of the product is inferior. For example, when bench tested by a member of the public, the Denmark Audio system was proven to be of very low quality, and was described as sounding like a "hornet's nest". Another common complaint is that when a buyer tries to hook up the home theatre system to a high definition television set, they find it cannot be done. The claim of HD compatibility made for the white van system is just another element of the scam.
Systems (typically amplifiers with speakers, sold as sets) with only two or three inputs and a lack of video inputs, with only analogue L/R/6ch RCA jacks, are common in this scheme.

Famous quotes containing the words technology, quality and/or product:
“If we had a reliable way to label our toys good and bad, it would be easy to regulate technology wisely. But we can rarely see far enough ahead to know which road leads to damnation. Whoever concerns himself with big technology, either to push it forward or to stop it, is gambling in human lives.”
—Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
“It passes, and we stay:
A quality of loss
Affecting our content,
As trade had suddenly encroached
Upon a sacrament.”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“He was the product of an English public school and university. He was, moreover, a modern product of those seats of athletic exercise. He had little education and highly developed muscles—that is to say, he was no scholar, but essentially a gentleman.”
—H. Seton Merriman (1862–1903)
