Want Blu-ray but don't have space for a full surround sound system? Look no further than the HT-BD8200.
Expert review by : Martin Pipe (techradar.com)
This 2.1 soundbar offers Blu-ray playback at an affordable price
Subwoofer surprisingly effective ; Picture quality ; Affordable
Mediocre music reproduction ; Photo playback never better than upscaled SD
A great soundbar for the money and the added Blu-ray player rounds off a very impressive package

There's never been a soundbar as flexible as Samsung's HT-BD8200
Stylish, effective design ; good picture ; decent sound ; comprehensive spec
Can be a little shrill at higher volumes ; no real surround information on offer
Clever and capable – for many, the HT-BD8200 is the ideal home cinema solution – and it comes at a tempting price

The Samsung HT-BD8200 offers a 2.1 home theatre experience, bringing with it the benefits of a Blu-ray drive and the convenience of a wireless subwoofer. Soundbars offer a simple out-of-the-box home cinema solution with minimal setup and configuration...
Great design, great picture quality, sounds great
Lacks connectivity, networking a little hit and miss, bass can be brutal at times
The Samsung HT-BD8200 is a great single-box solution for those who want to boost their audio performance and get a Blu-ray player in the mix. The additional USB connectivity is nice, so long as your preferred formats are supported, but the networked...

Don't want to fill your living room with miles of cables and hundreds of speakers to get decent cinema sound? Samsung has the answer
Expert review by : Matthew Moskovciak (cnet.co.uk)
Though home theater enthusiasts may drool over a rack full of AV boxes, for most people less is more when it comes to living-room gadgets. Sound bars with wireless subwoofers are now widely available for about $300, but the Samsung HT-BD8200 ($700...
One-of-a-kind sound bar with built-in Blu-ray player; sleek design; Wi-Fi capable with included USB dongle; Netflix, Pandora, YouTube, and Blockbuster streaming; wireless subwoofer; image quality and disc-loading speeds comparable with standalone...
Too many operational glitches; so-so sound quality; tall design may block TV when placed on a TV stand; limited connectivity; lacks expandable Samsung Apps platform on other newer Samsung home theater products.
The Samsung HT-BD8200 packs a Blu-ray player into a sound bar for unparalleled simplicity, but disappointing sound quality and operational glitches limit its appeal.
Expert review by : Campbell Simpson (goodgearguide.com.au)
This soundbar has a wireless subwoofer and an integrated Blu-ray player
Easy to set up, good sound quality
Large and imposing, styled specifically for Samsung televisions
Samsung's compact HT-BDS200 soundbar system includes a subwoofer and Blu-ray disc support, and its design complements the company's recent TVs.

Expert review by : Clint DeBoer (audioholics.com)
The Samsung HT-BD8200 is a home theater sound bar equipped with a Blu-ray player and wireless subwoofer. This might be the best match I've seen for flat panel TVs in a long time. It's impressive
