Of course there are better 5.1 home theater systems as regards both the sound and the execution, but then you have to also correspondingly lie more money. Samsung delivers a solid work here. The system is connected quickly and put into operation. I use an HDMI cable and a TOSLINK (optical); if the TV has an HDMI ARC connection, can be played back with the sound, the Toslink cable could also be omitted. Quickly put the supplied batteries in the remote control and it could go. Once you have completed the initial setup menu successfully, fine tuning can begin. The equalize the speakers is easily achieved via the device settings. When I lodged the first DVD, I was pleasantly surprised by the achieved 5.1. effect. Further fine-tuning can be done on the equalizer. Quickly regulates the distances between the satellites and the sound experience was nothing in the way. Small drawback: The subwoofer might have a bit more power, ie, the bass might sound a bit quiet crisp, about the software settings can be the bass a little spice. As I have already experienced better. I first used the system in our 30m² large living room on LG TVs, decided there but in the end for a LG-conditioning, among other things, due to better interaction. The Samsung plant is now in our smaller rooms and done there their services in collaboration with a Samsung TV, the sound sufficient for this perfectly. The remote control is styled to complement the Samsung TV. So far I have the DVD formats and Blu-Ray can play without any problems, I have not tested for lack of assets, the 3D function.
Per LAN are done software and firmware updates quickly. Various formats of external hard drives or network (connection via USB or DLNA) are recognized and played. The only drawback: Long titles will not be complete, but do not appear sufficiently legible in the various views. One can see only the first few letters and often reveals itself not from the title of the file.
What there is to downgrade the connections to the satellite are directly fixed and can not be disconnected, the other ends are attached to the player, but propietary with, colored different connectors, ie who wants to extend his lead, is either stupid as or must some artisanal effort einflicken spacers.
My Conclusion: Buy recommendation for people with slightly narrower budget - for the money demanded is quite highly recommended the 5.1.-conditioning.
