Frustrating
on December 30, 2012

HDMI setup a nightmare. Tried to set up with Samsung LN46C630 LCD TV, followed HDMI setup instructions. I experienced the following issues: Soundbar kept switching off HDMI, had to chose HDMI 2 or 3 times before it would stop reverting back to "D-in". Instructions only show connection instructions for 1 external device, I have 2 devices, a samsung blue-ray player & cable box. Cable box would play initially, blue ray player didn't have audio. Finally, the sound & picture would work for about 20 minutes then the pic would disappear and a message stating that the resolution wasn't supported.
Tried different different connections, turning on then off Anytime connection.
Will be returning product.

Overall. very good product. Sound is good. Installation is pretty easy. Only problem that i have encountered is the wireless sub occasionally not syncing. Simply unplug for a moment and plug back in and it syncs right up. Overall, I would recommend.

Poor compatibility with Samsung TV's

This could be a good sound bar with a little work and software update. However, this product has been on the market almost a full year without a single SW update, so that is not a likely scenario.
If you have a Samsung TV with Anynet+ you will probably not be happy with this product. You can use HDMI-ARC to control volume and have Anynet+ power-off the sound bar; however, you must manually power up the sound bar. Unlike a BluRay player with anynet+, the sound bar will not power up the TV. This means you are forced to use two remotes. While on the topic of remotes, this sound bar cannot learn remote control commands like the Boston Acoustics TVee 26 (very similar product). Samsung also implemented different mute, vol +, vol - IR remote commands than their SAMSUNG TVs so if you choose to use the optical connection you will need to use the proprietary remote or buy a universal learning remote.
I would recommend anyone considering this product first review the AVSForum (it has a dedicated thread) to better understand the limitations of this product. If you are willing to live with those limitations, you will enjoy the sound.
Pros: looks nice, nice sound
Cons: Did not meet expectations, no equalizer, does not play nice with other samsung products
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
