Samsung HWC560S

Good sound quality achieveable once all features have been analysed and correctly applied - defaults out of the box may not be to everyones liking (compressed dynamics and auto volume control)

user guide is only a list of features with little or no explanation of why you would want to use them - some useful features are buried in the menu (DPLII settings) whilst others which will only be needed for configuration (Audio Assign) get pride of...

Bad HDMI board

I should have gone with my gut and bought the Denon 391 or 591 I have been lusting over for months

I got a good price on it at a big box store, sorry new egg dont ; be sad you still get you 20% of my pay check per month ; It looks nice, and sounds nice when it works

Set up directions were useless, but when I hooked my PS3 the hdmi audio would cut in and out on the menu and netflix and work fine on bluray, after reading online that is a common problem with this unit, I moved the ps3 to a different HDMI and it...

Good first system

Great sound quality but hard to use

Samsung produced a good looking system that connects with their TVs and DVD players very well. So well, in fact, that I can\'t figure out how to DISconnect it when I want to. The sound quality is great, the setup menu is fine, but the Anynet+ feature...
