Comments about Samsung Samsung Blu-Ray Sound Bar Home Theater System:

Very confusing remote. Still can't figure out how to get to the Ipod. Finally worte step-bu-steps for Blue Ray. Not at all intuitive.

Sound bar is excellent in all other ways. Glad I bought it.

Comments about Samsung Samsung Blu-Ray Sound Bar Home Theater System:

This satisfies many of our needs. Our LCD TV in our bedroom had tiny horrible sound. This was a perfect fit. Not as complete as a true 5.1 but plenty for a bedroom. Streaming Netfix and Block Buster is great. DVD & Blu-Ray player are awesome quality. Occasionally it will turn off because it over heats, if you have it next to other components. The subwoofer is best set to it's lowest volume otherwise it over powers the bar. At that setting it sounds very good.

Service & Delivery comments:

This came quick and in perfect condition without any issue from ABT.

I use the DVD player and sound bar with the 800 S Samsung LED TV. It's a perfect match. From such a small footprint the sound is very good. Of course if you want outstanding sound you could spend thousands more.

Pretty impressive but...

Comments about Samsung Samsung Blu-Ray Sound Bar Home Theater System:

This is a great looking unit, and was fairly easy to set up, though I did have problems getting some of the funtions to work. I was able to connect to my network, but unable to establish a link to my computer. I am not able to get any FM stations on it, even after switching to a amplified antenna. Tech support at Samsung didn't help at all with these problems.
Other than that, I love the unit. The sound is pretty good in my small living room, and I love being able to use it for Pandora and Netflix. Music on the USB drive sounds great too, so I was not that upset about the FM issues.
One thing I recommend is do not hook the optical cable to your cable box or the voices and people's mouths won't match up, even when you tweek it. When I hooked it directly into the TV, it worked great.

Very Pleased

Bottom Line:

Comments about Samsung Samsung Blu-Ray Sound Bar Home Theater System:

It was the perfect solution for my in-laws who were limited on space and wanted the best possible sound/picture without setting up an entire home theater system. The price was pretty decent, too at [$]. I would have like to adjust the sound range a bit more, as it can be a bit boomey, but I just turned down the sub as a solution. This should really be just for your tv and not music. Be sure to update the firmware

Service & Delivery comments:

Comments about Samsung Samsung Blu-Ray Sound Bar Home Theater System:

Product is great but loses functionality when using ANYNET. You cannot use the controls on the unit itself. Only the remote works. Its not bad because you rarely go to the unit or to the tv to change anything.

A must buy

Comments about Samsung Samsung Blu-Ray Sound Bar Home Theater System:

I was looking for better sound but didn't have the space for a full surround sound solution. The Samsung soundbar was perfect. It sounds great and with the built in Blue Ray player I gained all the benefits of surround sound in a small package.

Package arrived when promised with no issues. Great service.

Love it!

Comments about Samsung Samsung Blu-Ray Sound Bar Home Theater System:

This was a great purchase.... I've tried a couple sound bars before, and this by fare beats them. The Blu-ray is awesome... the wireless sub is very nice, and still plenty powerful. Sound is killer with the dolby digital decoding. And all the netflix, pandora, etc. features work great. Still haven't figured out how to connect to my pictures yet, but probably just need to play around more. Definitely worth the [$] i paid! All the sound you need. The only con is the ipod dock... it works but you have to have your tv on while playing, and you have to choose songs with your remote. So i might just hook it up to my aux input?.. Anyways good luck out there, i know these reviews help a lot with choosing.
