Decent sound and really easy to setup...took me about 35 minutes from start to finish...but dont expect to watch crisp 1080p vids...the picture quality is really lacking and I had to incorporate my toshiba 1080p upconverter dvd player into system with another hdmi cable and optic cable and optic splitter to get what I wanted...but for the price I paid Im satisfied with the minimal effort I had to put into it.

i purchased a Samsung HT-Z510T/xxa (rear wireless sound) from circuit city on Sept 26 2008. The theater sounded great and with the 1080p it looked great. But that was all short lived. i was watching a movie and the picture froze. i tried to restart the dvd but i got an error message that said bad disk. I tried a new disk same message. I tried an audio cd and got an error of no file. i sent my machine to samsung on january 23 2009. supposedly it was repaired. it was returned to me and worked great. After watching about 4 movies the same thing happened. I sent it back on february 20th to be repaired for the same reason. it was returned to me again. at least this time it lasted a few weeks. on april 12th i rent it for repairs for the 3rd time. same problem. today it was returned to me. i put in a movie. watched for about 20 minutes and the machine shut down. i turned it back on and 30 minutes later it shut down again. Im on my 2nd movie now and it has not turned off. but i dont have a warm fuzzy feeling about it. i would have rated this home theater with zero stars but i had to click 1.

For the price it is good.. Sound really good on movie night my living room is big too, but for what it is sound's good so i gave it a 4

I like what I got for the price. Set up was easy and the sound is good. iPod dock and on screen controls for iPod are great to have but...The machine lists things in alphabetical order. Therefore, songs don't play in the order they actually appear on the album and if you browse by artist or album you may be hitting the scroll button a lot if the name starts with a "w" or something like that since it's at the bottom of the list. Holding down the scroll button does not do a rapid scroll either. So if the iPod navigation was a little better it would have been 5 stars.

Samsung HT-Z510T 5.1-Channel 5 Disc Home Theater Surround Sound System (Set of Seven, Black)
This is a good full-featured 5.1 home theatre system. I particularly like the wireless rear speakers. To be certain, there are no wires from the main unit to the back speakers, but there are wires that run from the rear speaker amp to each rear speaker. The speakers are small but deliver excellent sound and a decent sub-woofer, though not as powerful as some might like. I particularly like the fact that the main unit has a optical digital cable in port so you can play surround sound tv shows on it. It is an excellent value for the money.
