Reviews around work (4.53 of 5)

  • Set up works well for size of units, so I am pleased with this size unit
  • Remote works well, speakers are physically small but audio is large, somewhat like my Bose 7.1 in family room, which I love
  • Good when its working, but there are two issues, one hardware, one software.(1
  • The sub woofer is weak, hardly works and often cuts out due to poor wire connections (underneath the sub woofer).
  • Just like the previous system, the DVD player stopped working in less than 2 years - or about 6 months after the warranty expired.

Reviews around surround (4.49 of 5)

  • excellent stereo sound, lousy surround sound
  • If you live in a house and want a great theater surround, look elswhere
  • Setup was super easy and it really does give a great surround sound experience.
  • Great surround sound, good blueray player, nice wireless rear speakers, and if you have a "dumb" tv then this unit will upgrade it to a smart tv!
  • The bass really gives a great surround sound theater experience...then again, I'm easy to please

Reviews around value (4.40 of 5)

  • Now the great value of this set has gotten much less, so we've decided to return it and buy a 5.1 speaker set that includes a powered subwoofer
  • The speakers in general are very nice, cables are color coded, the wireless box to use the surround speakers is a nice tough as
  • I just use the blueray player for netflix and it is not a big complaint just frustrating as i have a roku 3 which is super fast.
  • Not up to a full home theater experience, perhaps, but a pretty good value.
  • Excellent value...very pleased with the quality of sound

Reviews around set (4.33 of 5)

  • can't plug your set top box (Uverse, DirecTv, etc...) directly into this unit
  • It takes some getting used to as far as set up and learning how to use the different features but once it is actually working it does sound Nice.
  • But if I wanted a system that only worked for it's built in apps, I could have saved $100+ and got a cheaper set.

Reviews around tv (4.12 of 5)

  • Very easy to set up and pairs well with Samsung 3D smart tv.
  • Will NOT connect to my LG Smart TV on regular cable channels, only on the Bluray Player movies and apps
  • Great surround sound, good blueray player, nice wireless rear speakers, and if you have a "dumb" tv then this unit will upgrade it to a smart tv!
  • Cuts in/out, makes watching TV/listening to music very difficult.

Reviews around bass (3.50 of 5)

  • Once working, I could barely hear the bass, and asked where is the subwoofer sound
  • I just use the blueray player for netflix and it is not a big complaint just frustrating as i have a roku 3 which is super fast.
  • Also the bass was not impressive and the mid range non-existent
  • I like the wireless receiver for rear speakers and the bass was good for my taste
  • Amazing sound and powerful bass easy to set up almost impossible to connect wrong very easy

Reviews around product (3.37 of 5)

  • How can a big firm like Samsung advance with such poor quality product with miserable Technical support???????
  • Is an excellent product, has a very clear and strong sound, I recommend it extensively.
  • In summary excellent friend bought a great gift and Samsung provided a horrible product not once but twice.
  • is I need to do a network test every time I use it but other than that great product would highly recommend.
  • Product is great, but the auxiliary input doesn't work at all!

Reviews around quality (3.37 of 5)

  • Perfect for surround sound ours was hit by lightening and had to replace high quality very happy with sound!
  • :o)Truthfully, the sound quality of the older unit was superior to this unit even though the specs pretty much matched up
  • It produces the perfect amount of bass and the sound quality from the speakers is exceptional
  • Only 1 hdmi slot-Rear speakers have terrible sound quality- Doesn't include optical & hdmi cables

Reviews around player (3.33 of 5)

  • Attached it to a ceiling mounted projector via the HDMI and voilà, a very nice Blu-ray/ YouTube player.
  • I just use the blueray player for netflix and it is not a big complaint just frustrating as i have a roku 3 which is super fast.
  • Blueray player works well and all the programing options, YouTube, Amazon movies, Weather, etc, etc, make for a good user experience all around
  • I must have gotten a "lemon" - cannot get the rear speakers to work; a number of times the player had a weird audio problem: it plays the background music track, but NOT the characters' dialogue

Reviews around speaker (3.01 of 5)

  • The wireless rear speakers are so easy and hassle free.
  • After testing every speaker, the center speaker only had the right side working & the rear speakers( in which really aren't wireless) sounds like someone standing next to you with headphones on
  • The left and right speakers keep going out than i have to adjust the wire to make it work
  • The back speakers don't work Most of the time but when they do they have a hissing sound coming from
  • I don't like the speakers that much either, the way to hang them is awkward

Reviews around wire (1.44 of 5)

  • It only took me about 2 hours and that included taking all of my old system out, wrapping up the wires, clean up, etc
  • Decent set up, wires have a decent length, of course wireless isn't wireless
  • Excellent product, however the wires for the rear speakers is lacking in length.
  • quality?3 of the speakers are hard wired, so you have to take some effort hide the wires if you want to position the speakers on the wall, or where ever
  • When running the sound test it would show the speakers where not hooked up correctly, (they where because the wiring is all color coded) and three didn't work at all, they would if it was just the TV running but the rear wouldn't

Reviews around noise (1.38 of 5)

  • Apparently this model has a defective fan that makes a really irritating humming noise
  • every once in a while it emits this incredibly loud static noise.
  • No boom to the subwoofer, hardly any noise at all
  • Even then, there was a static or white noise sound clearly being emitted like an old cassette tape
  • Once I left the TV on for the dogs as I sometimes do, and came home to this awful noise.

  • How can a big firm like Samsung advance with such poor quality product with miserable Technical support???????

  • The online support just sent me links as I struggled to set the whole system up and register it
