I got this unit as an equivalent replacement for an older model I sent to Samsung for repair. Samsung service reps were very helpful (from Philippine and US Call Centers) and very knowledgeable of their products.
The replacement unit was very easy to set up and the quality of the sound/audio is very comparable, if not better, to some more expensive home theater systems. In addition, it has features, like the iPod/iPhone connection and the 4 HDMI input capability and user friendly remote control.

Pros: Lightweight, excellent sound!, ipod/iphone capability
I would recommend this to a friend!

Overall the product is not bad. However, the first unit I purchased was returned because subwoofer pre-out did not work. The second unit, after 30 minutes of powerup, the subwoofer stopped working again. The problem only occurs when using (the most important part of the system) Dolby 7.1 surround sound. If it's set to 2-channel stereo, the subwoofer works, albiet very low output. Bass is cranked up to max as well as the subwoofer out. Very little bass.
Pros: Bright display
Cons: Not high def, Did not meet expectations, underpowered subwoofer
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

love this product, after i installed all the speakers around the living room, I used the microphone to adjust the sound, I'm watching my old movies again and is like a new experience, also for the regular TV shows, me and my wife sometimes we hear noise coming from other rooms and i just the great surround sound music sounds great (even just the regular radio)
CONS
the only con that i had (even though the sound and quality is great) is the sub-woofer is huge (good thing i was able to hide it inside the entrainment center but the size is around 12x15x16.
Don't know who fault is but the comcast remote control can't find the signal for the AV Receiver so i can turn the tv, cable box and the receiver with the comcast remote

PROS
good value for your hard earn money $$$$, if you already have a blue-ray DVD or a 3d DVD player is a excellent add on.

Installation was very easy and fast (taking away the time that took me to figure it that i purchased cheap HDMI cables and i need it good quality).
hope this info help you to make your decision and sorry if i made any spelling or gamma mistakes.
Pros: Inexpensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

what i like the best is the auto set up of the speakers; once i had it installed and used the mic for the auto set up was great. the 2 things i didnt like is that the speakers do not have mounting holes for my ceiling mounts and wire that comes with it is way too small; bought 14gag wire for it and makes a difference. besides that i bought another one for my son and wire for it.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, auto speaker set up
Cons: speaker wire too small, no mounting holes on speakers for mounts

I purchased this all in one system to go with new home theater set-up with a 3D LED TV and Blu-ray. The sound production is very good with easy set-up (keep the manual handy) and fine tuning capabilities either manually or via the Auto Sound Calibration ... a nice feature for an entry level system. This system provided an integrated solution right out of the box with matched components for my set-up.
This system has latest HDMI 1.4 with 3D support which was a definite decision factor in this purchase. One disappointment was the lack of support for ARC (Audio Return Channel) even though the 2010 Samsung TV's have ARC support via the HDMI-CEC input.
Also included is an iPod/iPhone cradle (a cost add-on for some higher end systems) to provide access to all your digital content including video, tunes and internet radio stations. A network connection to access internet content for the non-Apple users in the crowd would be a plus. Perhaps since HDMI 1.4 spec includes a channel for network connectivity this can be worked out in a future firmware update.
Anynet+ provides the integration I was seeking with my other Samsung components. Anynet+ is pretty much plug and play although a bit cumbersome with non-Samsung devices connected to the AVR, like a cable DVR box or game console.
Remote is typical Samsung remote, gets the job done but still no support for universal devices. Hopefully the RMC30C2 remote will be released soon and will combine all the Samsungs remotes scattered through out my theater and will hopefully have the universal remote support as advertised. Perhaps the Samsung Remote app for iPhone will continue to be developed and will add control for the AVR and other Anynet+ devices and work on the iPad.
Satellite speakers are sleek and attractive, a bit boxy but not obtrusive. Overall they seem to carry the sound across all spectrum's pretty evenly. The speakers will not be the final solution for my system but this added to the overall cost to value. The powered sub is a nice touch and fits well into my set-up. The supplied speaker wires could stand to be upgraded to something more substantial.
Overall this is a great system that performs as advertised so far. My final decision to purchase was primarily influenced by the cost to value ratio which is excellent.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I put the system together in about 45-mins. As you know most cables that are sent with these type of systems are cheap. I went with 14g what a difference. Had a left over sub cable reused that. very loud system and clear. Basic settings are good, have not had a chance to set up with mic settings. will post an update when done.
