Terrific sound
I bought this system to use with my Samsung 61 inch TV(model A750)and am delighted with it. Aside from matching the TV perfectly, it is easy to set up, easy to use, and produces great sound. I feel like I am at the movies.
The wireless receiver for the rear speakers worked like a charm.
I offer the following suggestions:
1. To hook this system to your TV you will need both a video cable(I use an HDMI cable) and audio cable(I use a standard red and white cable). Neither cable comes with the system(which is the norm), so make sure you buy them.
2. Before using the system, press the menu button on the remote(your TV must be turned on), go to audio setup, and do the tone test to make sure that each of your speakers is working. Initially I did not insert one of the speaker wires enough, and did not get a sound.
IMPORTANT: The tone test will not work unless you use the Mode button on the remote control and choose Matrix as your setting. I learned this the hard way when I could not get tones from all the speakers and called Samsung tech support, who were helpful.
I use this system in an 18x14 room with lots of windows and skylights and get great sound. If you hook your ipod into this system(an adaptor is provided) you will think that you are at a concert. I highly recommend this.
precision quality
What detered me from purchasing it's brother system, the HT-TX75, was that the wireless rear speaker module was included. The setup is very simple. The wireless rear speaker module means no more tripping over or trying to hide wires. The woofer puts out quality bass. Earlier today, I put in a cd and put the volume on 32. My neighbor from 2 HOUSES DOWN asked me to cut it down. The 5 disc changer makes it easy to enjoy a day of watching movies. The system is also has an ipod/mp3 dock as well as one for XM satelite radio. The remote can be programmed to control your TV as well. Great product.
Great Sound and Looks, But.....
For starters, as soon as i took this system out of the box i was blinded by beauty. Every piece is glossy black and sleek. Very nice.
Hooked it all up and everything was very straight-forward. The instructions are very simple to follow. All screws and such were there. No problems...yet.
Now, the main problem i had that almost caused me to pull my hair out is the wireless reciever. When i first got the system fired up and running everything worked great. Watched a movie and got about 3/4 the way through and the rear speakers went out. Got the flashing CHK REAR. So i checked everything and all was connected fine. So, i turned off the system and turned it back on and the rears worked great once again. So, i decided to play some Xbox 360 using this system. Again, worked great for about an hour or so and then got the CHK REAR flashes again. by this time i got really frustrated. I went through all the troubleshooting steps in the manual, looked everywhere online for help and found nothing. I moved the wireless reciever to different locations thinking mabye it wasn't getting a clear connection to the main reciever. No luck! I did not want to call Samsung because i knew they'd make me go through all the steps once again, but i was at wits end and thought it was my last resort. So, before i decied to make the call i started fooling around with the wirless card that plugs into the back of the main unit. I noticed that if i pushed in and held the card that the rear speakers would connect and remain connected. So, i got some clear shipping tape and put a couple strips on the card positioning it so that it is being forced into the main reciever. After doing this i haven't had 1 issue out of the rear speakers. Everything sounds beautiful. I use my PS3, Xbox 360, Cable TV with it and they all sound superb. Its a great system, but the wireless troubles need to be addressed with Samsung.
All in all, i would definitly recommend this system but beware of the rear wireless hacks that may have to be done to get it to work properly. Also, the rears aren't really wirless as they are wired to the wireless reciever. Saves from having to run wires from the tv to the rears though. If anyone has any questions or would like pics then message me and i'll be happy to assist ya. :-)
