Works Great!

(5 out of 5) by James B. Pennington on Mar 25, 2009 (Livermore, KY)
I have this hooked up in my media room to my 72" DLP from Samsung and the sound is perfect for the room. It is very easy to set up and it works great.

DVD malfunction

(1 out of 5) by G. kelley on Aug 21, 2009 (glen allan, va United States)
I purchased one of these at Costco. Unfortunately I had the same problem as other posters (wish I had read reviews before buying) with the DVD halting and skipping. I tried several DVDs to ensure it was the unit and not my disks. I returned the unit to Costo and will not replace this unit. It is too bad because it set up nicely with a matching Samsung LCD TV and sounded reasonably good (though I agree that the subwoofer is a bit strong). Sometime less is more and in this case it would have been better to skip the DVD rather than put out a device with an apparently high failure rate.

home theatre

(5 out of 5) by T. A. Snyder on Apr 13, 2009 (phoenix,az)
oustanding unit when we paired it with our samsung 50" plasma 1080p wireless. very good sound quality and many options on the types of output so you can customize the sound to your liking.

Samsung Sound Bar...

(1 out of 5) by Dennis Sprandel on Dec 1, 2008 (Holland, Michigan)
Very disappointed about this product: after reading so many positive reviews of the Samsung HT-X810...

My remote doesn't work and most of the basic functions, such as adjusting the bass, and editing the speaker directions are non-functioning...

High price for stereo theater+ sound I can almost obtain from my internal Samsung 650 speakers... without the $500.00+ price of new Samsung sound bar.

It was great for three weeks!

(1 out of 5) by Shelley Ryan on Dec 15, 2008 (Houston, TX United States)
I was so impressed with the look and sound of this unit. Right before Thanksgiving, I bought it from Amazon to go with my brand spankin' new 40-inch Samsung LCD television. Boy, we sure felt like posh big-city dwellers with everything up on our wall. It really made watching movies so much more like being in a theater! Until today. The DVD player quit working. I called Samsung's customer service and was disconnected three times before I finally spoke with someone who tried troubleshooting it with me by phone. No such luck. Now the only choice I have is to ship it to the repair center in New Jersey. This is messing up our Christmas! I'll come back and add to this review later if there's anything else useful to report...

UPDATE, JANUARY 13TH: The unit arrived home on January 6th, and seems to work fine. I was annoyed, though, because Samsung sent me an automated email that the repair was complete on December 23rd. You'd think that they would have the courtesy to ship it FASTER, especially since it's brand new.

UPDATE, AUGUST 25, 2009: I find myself turning this unit OFF during a lot of movies and relying on the audio from the TV itself because no matter how many adjustments I make, all the music and background effects seem to drown out the dialog. I think it might help if the bass unit had some volume controls -- but I'm afraid I'm no audiophile, I'm just your average home viewer. Hope that helps someone.
