Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5 Top notch home theater, 2009-03-19
This is the best blu-ray/home sound system on the market for the price. It combines the bd player and the 7.1 speaker sound system. This combination is difficult and costly to find. I had some problems getting it set up but once up and running it is very impressive. The problems I encountered were: 1) I needed to add longer speaker wires for the rear speakers. 2) One of the 2 blu-ray movies I rented to test the system needed a system upgrade from Samsung websight before it would play. I needed to download a compressed file, burn a cd then load it into the bd player. This took quite a while chasing around on line for procedures. Now everything works great with one exception. The Dish network DVR sound is fed via D.IN 1. When I do a replay or skip fwd on HD recorded stations, the sound is delayed for 3 sec before restarting. This requires a longer replay in order to prevent missing the desired audio. Works normally with non HD stations. My previous sound system did not have this problem.

Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5 Excellent home theater at a good price., 2009-03-11
This home theater system is what convinced me to finally make the jump to Blu-ray. I bought it from Amazon at 51% off its $1000 MSRP. I added Amazon Prime and had it in my home in two days. Set up was simple, but with seven speakers plus a subwoofer, there's a lot of wire running around my family room.
The picture quality of the Blu-ray discs is stunning, and a regular DVD gets upconverted to 1080p, so all my old stuff looks much better than ever, too. The sound is spectacular, too. My Blu-ray copy of Men in Black had the walls and floor literally shaking with rocket engines and explosions. Everything I've played, be it Blu-ray or regular DVD, has been terrific, both picture and sound.
If you're considering making the move to Blu-ray, don't hesitate to give this system serious consideration.

Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5 NOT A RATING FOR PRODUCT BUT FOR AMAZON, 2009-04-26
This rating is not for the product but for the false advertising by Amazon, which is becoming a very common practice. As of today, April 24th, when a person logs on to the site, there is an advertisement for this product in the right hand upper corner that clearly says OVER 50% SAVINGS on this product and the regular price of $ 999. When you click on the product....what does it say.....PRICE $ 999. How much is the savings.................ZERO. Way to go Amazon.

Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5 We love it!, 2009-04-12
Having studied several home theater systems "in a box", we settled on this one to join our Samsung 50" plasma. It's lived up to its positive reviews, creates an awesome theater experience and is an excellent value. A couple caveats. Set up as suggested--especially keeping the front right and left speakers in line with the center channel. We initially didn't, and the slight delay between the fronts and center yielded an easily discernible out-of-synch sound effect. Also resist the temptation to turn up the subwoofer too loudly. When you get it right you'll have the deep bass you need and you won't be able to identify the location of the sub. If you have a Samsung TV you can use the Blu-ray remote for the TV. Kick back and enjoy!

Average rating of 2/5Average rating of 2/5Average rating of 2/5Average rating of 2/5Average rating of 2/5 Won't play Blue Rays, 2009-04-06
Great price and very impressed with the appearance and ease of set up. Problem is the system I received won't play blue rays. I contacted Samsung's support unit and after having me run several tests including resetting the system several times and trying different blue ray disks the tech provided me a ticket number and advised that I needed to ship it to an address in NJ "at my own expense" for warranty repairs. Upon receiving their email directing me where to send the unit for repairs I learned that based upon the serial number of my unit, the 1 year warranty was only valid until 8/31/2009, I received it from Amazon at the end of 03/2009. To say the least I'm not a happy camper with the additional shipping expense to get it repaired the shortened warranty period and inconvenience. The system does look great though.

  • Puns In Country Music Songs Done Right
    Puns have long been a part of country music songs -- think of song titles such as George Jones' "She Took My Keys Away, and Now She Won't Drive Me to Drink" or Lee Ann Womack's "Am I the Only Thing That You Done Wrong?" Linguist Geoff Nunberg says that the genre's willingness to play with lyrics and song titles uncovers new layers of meaning.

    My Dog Tulip is an animated film, but it's no Disney-style heartwarmer about a boy and his canine pal.
