So, with all of these features, I can tell you that this is ok if you have a small space and no children. The finish is very glossy and shows every bit of dust and fingerprints and likely will easily scratch. The sound is a bit lacking when compared to a a true 7.1 system with a good (Onkyo) receiver. So, even though this decodes DTS-HD as well as DD True HD, it's kind of useless with this system. While it will decode those, you will not really get to appreciate it. Also, the sub is a bit weak. You have a 3 channel amp to run 2 speakers and the sub. So, if you simply do not have the room and you have to worry about neighbors, this is an okay system. I was thinking about giving this 4 stars, but after all, you can do better without spending that much more.

I put in a lot of research and bought the BD-7200 as soon as it was available. There is not another product out there that has the same features in such an attractive, compact package. Wireless Netflix, Ipod, Blu Ray w/ quick load times...The sound is good but not quite as powerful or encompassing as a true 7.1 or 5.1 system. If you have a small space or simply don't like the wires all over, and want all the latest functionality then this is for you!

Don't get me wrong the sound is good, but it's not surround sound. I've had this system for several months now, I've watched a lot of movies, and maybe it's me, but in reading the product description from the manufacturer, this system, using 2.1 channel, is supposed to simulate 5.1 surround sound. I think it should do that better then it does, especially for the price of the system. If you want surround sound, this ain't it. If you want easier setup and a system that sounds good loud, this might work for you. I don't recommend it.

There was not much feedback on this product before I purchased it.I have a living room, 24x20 and was not happy with the sound. I also sit about 12 feet from the TV. I had to turn it up to almost max to hear decent sound.

I did not want to be the first to try this new samsung BD7200,but im glad I did. Blows out the competetors. You will be excited.

Looks great,plays great and sounds great. If your looking for a wall mounted unit like some of the reviews said ,this is not it.I overcame that with a shelf.. Easy to set up.

Glad I did it. 2 days old and im very pleased with my choice

Now working on hiding the speaker wires,once thats done I will be kicking back.
