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.

“[As teenager], the trauma of near-misses and almost- consequences usually brings us to our senses. We finally come down someplace between our parents’ safety advice, which underestimates our ability, and our own unreasonable disregard for safety, which is our childlike wish for invulnerability. Our definition of acceptable risk becomes a product of our own experience.”
—Roger Gould (20th century)
