Lies. The sound is fine and I think the nontraditional look is cool. This is a good simple all-in-one stereo system, as mentioned by others. The system is useless when laying flay; the DVD player makes a complete racket and you can't read the display on the unit. The unit does not switch from one input mode to the next very quickly, but that is a minor issue to me. The main problem I have is that the box and advertising would seem to indicate that the central unit can be placed 'upright', as shown in this image, or laying flat like a more normal system. Therefore, if you need a home theater to lay flat in a standard AV cabinet then you must look for something else. If you want it to sit under your TV looking like it does in the image (as I do) then you should be fine.
Sounds good great bass much better than any TV sound. Great for bedroom or small living room.
It will work fine for a few hours or days and then repeat this nonsense. I have had this system for about 5 months. however there are some problems with the design and functioning. I will give up on it as the sound still works fine, then all of a sudden (up to a day later) the dvd will just eject. It should not even be called surround sound as there really isn't much of that.Overall, I still like it for how it looks and matches my TV, but am super frustrated with this quirk it has. First of all, because the DVD inserts vertically on the top of the unit, I could not center it on a shelf so it looked nice as it hit the next shelf above.
AND I do not want to pay $65 to ship back for service.The sound quality is adequate. I agree with other reviewers, it was easy to set up, it looks GREAT, I love the quality of the DVD pictures (or could that be my Samsung Touch of Color 42" TV which I love). I am rather tired of it. If you are wall mounting or putting it on a top shelf, this should not be an issue.The most frustrating part has been that after a few months and with increasing frequency, discs are freezing up in the player and will not eject. The online troubleshooting gave instructions to remedy, but did not work. There is probably nothing wrong with it, but as another reviewer said it is a starting place - better than TV speakers, but not much more.
Perhaps it is just my unit.
Excellent product. Very easy to setup right out of the box. If you have a Samsung TV and are looking for total compatibility, you cannot go wrong with this product. I compared this 2.1 product and a leading competitor's 2.1 system and quite frankly, the sound was as good if not better and at a significantly lower price.Samsung HT-X710 2.1 DVD/DivX HDMI/USB Home Cinema System (Set of Four, Black)
I've had my share of home theater systems from large scale to small. This "mid size" model is not only modernly attractive, but has very respectable sound and function. Hook-up is easy, function is easy, and it is very compatible with the new Samsung HD TV I purchased making it a talked about item when company is over.Happy that I made the buy, and would tell you it is worth the look if you are in the market.
