If it had enough inputs, I could work around the problem. Now, it won't recognize DVDs. I only gave it two stars because it did actually work for a while and when it did, it was pretty good. This system works ok for a while, but we had it break twice in about a year. The first time, we sent it back to the manufacturer for repair(under warranty). Unfortunately, it has the bare minimum.
This system made a huge difference in TV and Video watching. We live in a town home. Everything is very easy to use. He was able to set it all up fairly easily. I would strongly recommend this product. The sound is great.
We were able to hook the system up to the TV, DVD player and Netflix (Roku) and our Ipod so now all of our equipment can be viewed/listened to with surround sound. I purchased this system for my husband for Christmas. We did need to purchase another HDMI cable and longer speaker wires (the wires that came with the box were rather short for the back speakers). The DVD/CD player is also good.
I guess my Tv sounds fine without all this "extra" frustration. Wires all over, directions suck. I tried 3 hours to hook this stupid thing up and after going back to Best buy they told me I had to ALSO purchase a optical cable (30.00-50.00), they never told my wife that when she picked this out for a gift for me. Brought the cable home , hooked it up like the kid said and I was still frustrated in the whole set up. Unless you can tackle these electronic hook ups real good stay away.
With no local repair available, and at $29 to ship into repair, the 3rd repair, if necessary, will exceed the value of the unit as I currently consider it. After being repaired it worked less than one month before failing again in the exact same way. Have shipped unit into repair twice because DVD player quit working. Worked out of the box new for only two months. Still waiting for its return, hopefully Samsung repairs it right this 2nd time around.
It is interesting to see whether they stand behind their products. Then it completely stopped playing any DVD/CD after 6 months of light use. Bought it from Bestbuy as a combo deal with a plasma TV. We thought we were happy when it worked. Since it is still within warranty, I just sent it back to Samsung to get it fixed.
