Great sound - but some major design flaws
on October 17, 2011
Posted by: AAJJ
This home theater system does deliver excellent sound and Blu Ray/3D DVD capabilities but I was very disappointed to uncover 2 major flaws with this system. First of all, the default audio input on the receiver is set to "Digital In" and there is no way to change this setting. I have my audio coming from my Samsung Smart TV via HDMI 1.4 (Plugged in to the HDMI 2 slot on the Smart TV that is setup for ARC - Audio Return Channel) and every time I turn on the TV and the Home Theater system I have to toggle through the home theater inputs to set to it "HD In 1" again. I only have 1 input coming in to the home theater and that is my HDMI input so I have no idea why the system can't recognize that it doesn't have a Digital Audio cable attached or at the very least, it should just default to the last setting that it was on.
The second major design flaw is that the wireless rear speaker frequency interferes with the wireless 3D glasses so the rear sound is completely messed up when you are using the 3D glasses. And yes, I am only using Samsung components (Samsung glasses, Samsung TV, Samsung Home Theater) and all models of the devices that I have are listed as being compatible by Samsung.
I really hope that Samsung corporate reads these message boards and can push out a software upgrade to this device to solve these 2 major design flaws.

I have built a custom home theater in my basement and wanted an all in one unit for the kids to enjoy upstairs. This system is nearly as good as my $10k one in the basement.
Incredible value. Excellent surround sound. Blu-Ray is flawless. 3D Great! iPod interface is a big plus.
Nothing bad to say!
Wireless signal to rear speakers is a HUGE plus!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Inexpensive
I would recommend this to a friend!
