   I purchased two Samsung HD TVs and Home Theater Systems. All worked as advertised except one Home Theater System (Model HD-BD1200T) quit working. I won’t bore anyone with the play-by-play experience I have had with Samsung warranty service, but suffice it to say that after numerous conversations with multiple levels of Samsung Customer Service and the passage of about 8 weeks, I have just today (as requested by Samsung) delivered the whole system to UPS. Samsung says that there are no parts to fix my unit, that the unit is no longer available for a replacement and that they will ship me a new and comparable unit when they receive the whole system back in California. I hope this happens. However, in the meantime, I am out additional money to have UPS pack the speakers and controller with no real assurance that the very inefficient Samsung Customer Service apparatus will deliver.

   I purchased this home theater system to compliment my 52″ Samsung 240mhz LCD TV and it’s wonderful! I’m not an audiophile but the sound quality is amazing for my living room which is small. I have a house but still keep the volume low as I found it really gets up there! The setup was a breeze. I’ve owned HTIBs before so I was familiar with the setup, which is standard. I barely read the manual but it’s well written if you need it. The features are almost otherworldy! The Blu-ray disc player plays CDs and DVDs in addition to Blu-ray discs. It even has technology to make your DVDs look better! With an Internet connection, you can access Internet content such as Pandora’s Box, Youtube, Netflix and Blockbuster so that you can stream movies. It has an Ipod dock for playing your Ipod and an antenna for FM radio. The wireless speakers are definitely a bonus and a much-needed feature in spaces like mine with hardwood floors. With them, you don’t have speaker wires running across the floor. The whole set looks great as well with the glossy black finish, chunky subwoofer and tall front speakers. I purchased some speaker stands to put the rear speakers on. The whole set looks great with my TV and makes my living room look like an entertainment paradise. This is definitely a nice set for the price. I’m super pleased with this purchase.

   I was looking at purchasing this locally, and compared on line, when the local store was out of stock, it made my decision easy. This was as advertised and works very well with my new Samsung LED tv. The hookup of the unit was very easy with the wireless rear speakers. I would recommend this to others without hesitation.

   I got this system at Sam’s Club on Black Friday for $398. I’m not sure if this one comes with an Ipod dock, but the one at Sam’s did. It took a couple of hours to set up, and you need to buy the wireless LAN adapter in order for the Netflix and Pandora to work. You will also need a good optical audio cable in order to get your cable box to play through this system. If you buy top of the line stuff, these things will cost approximately $145 more, but then you will be all set. I could not be happier with this system.

   I looked at several systems to stream Netflix and Pandora, but ultimately decided on this one because the Black Friday price was right. The streaming media works perfectly, and the quality of sound is excellent. This system has everything I wanted and is well worth the money.

   I purchased this unit at the same time as I purchased a Samsung 55″ LED LCD TV. They work flawlessly together, and through the Any-Net connection when you turn the TV off while listening to it through the unit, it turns off as well. It is extremely easy to set-up and get hooked to my network via the wireless set-up. I also subscribe to Netflix and it works great to watch all the instant movies in my que. All in all it has a good sound and takes up very little space.
