Good, but has a problem

This is a good system with a major problem. After about a year my unit starting cutting off. It would show a message "fan ng" and then shut off. Google search shows this to be a problem. Fan is failing or overheating in the unit. Good sound when it works.

Nice System, Recommend

Bought this to replace our 10 yr. old 5 Disk DVD/VHS Recorder AM/FM Stereo Home Theater System after it started acting up and not opening the DVD trays (different brand). We have had this new Samsung for a little over a month. This new 2015 model works great, newest technology, 3D / Smart Blu-ray Home system with FM receiver. This up converts DVDs to give a great picture, almost don't have to spend the extra money to rent a BD disk, if you have a 42” TV as we do. It was easy to set-up connection to our home Wi-Fi. Make sure you check for and update the Firmware on the system. We had one update on ours already. The small speakers produce a really great sound for a home system in this price range. The wireless rear speakers are not 100% wireless. You have to plug the rear surround speaker wires into a 110v powered wireless box. Accordingly, if you want those speakers mounted on a wall, as we do, you will see the wires, and be limited to the spacing and placement distance from the 110v powered box. The biggest Dislike I have about this system is that I think Samsung made a design mistake by using Proprietary speaker wire Plugs for connection of the speakers to the main and surround speakers rear unit. They should have used speaker wire spring terminal connectors as they used on all of the speakers – Why use half one type connection & half a different type connection? The spring terminal wire connections are very easy to use – you have to use them anyway on the speakers! This design totally eliminates the use of heavier gauge better wires (included wires are very thin), unless you cut & splice the included wires! This also restricts the distance you can place the speakers from the main unit (wire size / gauge too small) plus the proprietary plugs on one end. Our rear surround speakers were placed on two sides of an open arch / wall span, so the design eliminates the use of my hidden wires for the rear speakers! According, we can't place the new ones there now. Overall I feel this is a good system, would recommend, not sorry I purchased, but just be aware of the above speaker wire complaints that I have.

Refurbished

Had high hopes for this home theater from Samsung. The receiver looked like someone had scoured it with steel wool and one of the speaker ports didn't work. It continually skipped out during usage. Came from Walmart through a company called Beach Camera. They made the return easy but I spent 2 hours packing it in the original packaging for the return. Very disappointed.

Easy to set up and use and great quality.

Got this home audio receiver May 25th and connection and set up was really easy. DVD player does excellent job with both Blueray and regular DVD's. Great sound from speakers for audio and special effects. Just what my 65" Class KS 8500 8 Series Curved 4K SU HDTV needed. Much more enjoyable watching experience now.

Good system

Easy to set up. Nice menu for adjusting settings. Wireless works well. Only thing needing improvement is the buffering when watching netflix movie.
