This Samsung 5 Series HT-J5500/ZA Blu-ray home theater system includes 5 satellite speakers and a passive subwoofer. To build a complete 3D home theater system, you'll also need a 3D TV, 3D glasses designed for the TV and a high-speed HDMI cable.

Good system, small and easy to use

This seems to be a very good system. It was easy to set up and the size fits easy in the space I have. The sound isn't the most exceptional but it sound well enough to be good. It doesn't have every decoder in it but it has the major Dolby Digital and True HD sound. It is great for my bedroom but it might be lacking in features and power for a full blown home theater system. I like the fact when it's paired to my Samsung TV it has Audio Return Channel and plays the sound from my TV which is a great plus to the speakers in the TV. All in all it isn't bad but there is also better.

Works well, a little heavy

I have several Logitech devices and they have always functioned well. This keyboard is no exception. It works just as it should with my Samsung S4 and with my Tab A. It is so much easier if you want to type something that is longer than a two line text. You can use this and it feels much more natural than the tiny on screen keyboard of the phone or tablet. If you have a need for this type of use this keyboard seems to fill that need.

Good accessory for the Q500 4K

What can be said of the rotors for a Q500 4K. Well they are replacement rotors and that's good to have is you need them. In my case it came in a bundle so I'll have them when needed. The aircraft comes with two sets already so this is an extra set plus!

Excellent for the price point
on December 17, 2016
Posted by: Starfire116

Verified Purchase:Yes
This drone is of good quality and build. It is rather large which helps it stay stable throughout the flight envelope. The box contains everything you need to go out and fly (right after you charge all the batteries). It also has a hand help gimbal device that lets you take the camera off the aircraft and use it on the ground for other projects. The videos and photos that you get are of very good quality in all lighting conditions. The remote and the app (for the handheld) work very good and have adjustments for your needs on the video and photos. While the battery is new you would expect it to last pretty much to specifications and it seems to do just that. I've gotten about 28 minutes out of the longest flight in really calm air. I've gotten about 22 minutes out of it in a little more challenging air. I've tried a few flights at the upper limit of the wind maximum of 12MPH (mine 10MPH) it was a bit rocky and was having a little trouble maintaining position over the ground but that is to be expected. It did stay within 3-4 feet of the original takeoff position in those conditions which isn't bad. If you want something you don't have to use extras, like your cell phone, then this is a good deal.

Not going to win an Academy Awards but it was fun to watch. It is good entertainment with somewhat of a good story line. It is pure fantasy and it doesn't mimic the real world in any way...or does it!!

Very good instrument for phone and tablet

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've tried a few others with big tips and precision tips and find that this one is the best I've had. It is always responsive when I use it and accurate. It is very light which in my opinion is a slight drawback. It would feel better if it was just a bit heavier. Seems to be built well and very simply so there isn't really anything that will hinder it's use.

It was the usual X-Men movie with something bad happening that needs fixing and they band together to fight the evil and win. Great action the story wasn't bad. It's a comic book and with that you get this! Overall good entertainment if you like this type of genre!

Good cap to replace old style
on November 14, 2016
Posted by: Starfire116
from Las Vegas, NV
Verified Purchase:Yes
This cap has the newer release tabs in the middle of the cap and my old one had them along the edge. It used to be very difficult to remove the cap with the lens hood attached. With this cap it is a breeze to remove without having to struggle or taking the hood off. The only thing that is not great is the tension of the mechanism. It's very light and it has fallen off on it's own a couple of times.

This card works very well so far. It isn't the highest form of technology but it is plenty fast enough and stable enough to be used int eh studio while taking photos with Canon 5D MkIII. It keeps up with the capture and writing to the card without a bottleneck.

The usual super hero flick

As movies go this is the next in a long line of Marvel's Cinematic Universe movies. As I always say take it for what it is, if you like this kind of comic book action sci-fi stuff you'll enjoy this and be entertained. As with many movies there are inconsistencies and poetic license running rampant.

Will this require a subscription in the future?

No telling right now! It is a single license stand alone package at this point in time but who knows what Adobe might do in the future!

Can this be used with Mac OS Sierra? Can you retouch images as in Creative Suites?

It says it's Mac compatible but I use it on a Windows machine so I'm not sure if it works with that particular OS. You can drop on over to the Adobe forums to get a more specific answer for your particular situation. Good Luck! For the second part of that question it is very much like the CC version of Photoshop. It is not as powerful but you have a lot of the same retouching options that you have in Photoshop CC. Healing brush, Clone Stamp, color adjustments, levels, curves, etc. Happy Photography!!

Do these surround sound speakers come with a stand?

There were no stands included with this unit.

The rear speakers its wiress

I think you want to know if the rear speakers are wireless. I'm going to answer based on that! The rear speakers are actually semi-wireless. They are not hooked to the main unit by wires but there is a wireless receiver that can be placed very close to where you want to mount the speakers and the speakers are wired to that box. There are some wires involved on all the speakers but it isn't nearly as bad a full wired speaker that emanate from the main head unit.

What model is the Blu Ray player that comes with this package? I would like to compare its specs to stand alone models.

It's an all in one and doesn't have it's own model number. You would have to search around on the Samsung site and you might find the info you're looking for.

Does this unit have a HDMI input as well as output.? Many thanks.

Strictly an output but it does have ARC if your wondering if the TV will play through it. That works if your TV has ARC compatibility.

Does the blue ray need any regular updates.

I've only had it for a short time and haven't seen any updates since the first one when I hooked it up. I'm sure as time goes by there will be updates but there is never a way to tell how many will be rolled out. All depends on what might happen in the way of a bug that needs fixing or some new and improved menu they think up. If it's hooked to your wireless or wired network then this is an easy task. If not hooked up then it would have to be downloaded from somewhere, put on a disc and loaded through player tray.

I just bought this home theatre system the other day, and we sat down to watch a dvd. Randomly the player just shut off, I rebooted it and it did the same thing 3 times. Is the player flawed or is there a setting that causes it to shut off?

I haven't run into this issue and I don't see anything in the manual that would make it an option to go off on it's own. I would reach out to Samsung Support on this one.

Are the speakers wall mountable?

The speakers have one keyhole in the back to mount on a single screw in the wall or some kind of hook. The center channel has two keyholes due to it's width. I have the front L&R and rear L&R mounted on the wall with the center on a stand in front of my TV.
