Great Setup

This home theater looks great, and sounds even better. This is one of the best home theater's I have bought. I highly recommend this system to anyone looking to upgrade. It has the new (4 total) HDMI 1.4 which supports 3D, and ethernet. Install was easy, and the Auto Sound Calibration on the receiver adjusted all 7 speakers perfectly to the speaker locations.The iPhone/iPod cradle works great as well too. Movies have never sounded better when you use the Dolby True HD setting. This is actually a 7.2 system if you wanted to add 2 subs. There are a lot of great things to say about this, but I'll keep it short. Just buy it, and you wont be disappointed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Value, Great Sound and Great Design...

Nothing better for this price! The sound is great, the design is great and the value is unbeatable! I have my system setup with two of the four surround speakers mounted as Front Height Speakers, basically five speakers mounted on the front wall and two speakers mounted in the rear. This is accomplished by using the Dolby Digital IIz setting instead of the Dolby Digital IIx. It sounds like you are at the Movie Theater! The four HDMI Inputs allow you to connect all of your electronic equipment so you can enjoy the rich surround sound on your Blu-Ray players, Gaming Systems and your Satellite or Cable Boxes. I only wish Samsung offered an external input so you could plug in 2.5mm and 3.5mm jacks instead of just an external input for I-POD and Apple Products.
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, great sound, great design
Cons: no 2.5mm or 3.5mm input
I would recommend this to a friend!

Must Have with your 3D Home Theater
on January 20, 2011

Expertise:Expert
I found the ease of operating this system is fairly straight forward with some time, so user friendly is learned and not assumed. Sound quality is good, and enjoy the Auto Setup Mode. Based on it's specs it is perfect for the room I have the system in. Any bigger room I would look into more efficent speakers and more power. Only complaint I have is the Key Mount system on the speakers. It is plastic so too soft and not durable. Make sure the brackets are farily loose when adjusting the angles of the speakers or you will stress and stretch the Key Hole. Wished Samsung had a Steel Nut molded into the speaker cabinet instead.
Pros: Lightweight, a 3d must have
Cons: weak key mounting system
I would recommend this to a friend!

Wheres the sound?

I was thinking i was paying alot of money for something thats gonna work great and sound awesome. WRONG, i couldnt have been further from the truth. I have to have the volume turned up to 30 to be able to hear the tv through it. I was also hoping to use it as a sterio with my ipod but it dosnt have a random setting to use with the ipod witch is garbage because i have to start over at the first song on the ipod everytime i remove it from the dock and put it back in. i would like to have been able to still control what i play when my ipod is connected. i do not like the product and wish i could take it back and get my money back. i have a surround system in my bedroom that i paid $60 for that is louder and sounds better from logitech.
Pros: none
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, bad quality for the price.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

nice system, excellent sound, very good value

Nice system for the money, although i enjoy it, i have a samsung television connected to it, and dvd player. when insert a DVD, the dvd, receiver and television all turn on. Unfortunately it doesn't auto detect signals from non-samsung devices and it unit has to be manually told whether it is receiving a signal through component, HDMI, analog, etc. Sometime when i turn on my cable box i have to push another button to let it know to use the HDMI signal although there isn't another signal being sent. I love the sound my son likes it better than the theatre. the sub is big as is the actually receiver but Allshare enabled me to hide all the equipment in the closet and the television and its remote enables me for the most part to control all of the functions. They told me this units replacement is considerable better and auto detects signals.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: Too big

Easy set up and Great sound

I have a Med Living room and this was a replacemnt for a Samsung system that I already owned. My old system could not handle 3D so I replaced the whole system with this one. It did a great job on sound. It was not made for a large living room but a small to Med living room. So far so good. Also a little hint for people who put Sound systems in a cabinet. Cut the area out in the back of your cabnet that is enclosed. It keeps the all sound systems from over heating and gives the system a good air flow. And then makes it easy to install speaker wires and cords. Also use a twisty to clean up speaker wire so it does not get tangled up behind the cabnet.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!
