WORST WEDDING GIFT!

I purchased this unit for my husband for a wedding gift. It has been the worst purchase ever! Just as it nears the 1 yr mark the blueray stopped working, it still plays regular movies but not blueray! So last night we tried watching a show on Hulu and for some reason the screen had blue static or blue static shadow!! Haven't contacted Samsung as I have read all the other reviews and know that it will be a complete waste of time to try and get help resolving or getting it fixed. DO NOT BUY SAMSUNG!

HT-J5500W Home Theater System

I've had this system for nearly a month and have not been able to use it. The TV I purchased with it doesn't work. So I have had little time with this system. It does work well. I got the tv and system from Samsung.com. It has been horrible experience and I don't imagine its anywhere near done. I'll come back and give this a proper review if and when I ever get a chance to use it.

Tons of feature!!!

So much you can do with this!!! Can access Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, Youtube....and can even play games. You can also contact to it via your phone/tablet through wi-fi!!! Sound is awesome, however you can't get sound through all 5 speakers unless it's while watching a DVD. As far as pricing, it's definitely worth what I paid for!!!

Subwoofer Weak

Function of Blietooth and other options. But, the Subwoofer is either Weak or there just aren't enough watts going to it. It is fimne for MOvies and ball games but,m when playing Music at high levels the Hard Driving Bass just isn't there. It is like there is a limit sweitch on it or at least mine was like that.. I dent it back and am getting abnmother RCA 1000 watt suystem.

This is a great product for the price

When I got it I was expecting a wireless system. Nothing is Wireless except the back 2 speakers hook into a separate box instead of the DVD so you don't have the wires running across the room. It's very easy to use and set up. I use it everyday has great sound.

Overall good deal

Great sound for such a small system. Easy to connect and set up. Although the order was not actually shipped until a few days later than it should have, it still arrived in a timely manner. I don't like that the "wireless speakers" still required wires to be connected to the wireless tower, it's a little hard to conceal so many wires sometimes. Also, when I try to connect to Pandora through my smart tv app, the sound comes out of the TV speakers rather than the home theater... I made sure the tv sound output is set to receiver but still no sound. It only works when I connect to Pandora through the home theater systems apps but it's really no biggie... overall great buy!

Quite nice for the price point

I like it thus far. It has a much different sound that my old pioneer system. A lot more high end clarity. It took me a couple of days to get used to it but now I really like it. Plenty loud for my needs. Setup was pretty easy. Be careful when putting the wires into the spring clips. I actually put them in too far. When I first turned it on, only 2 speakers were working. It took me a few minutes to realize I had to pull the speaker wires OUT further to make the connection....I was clamped on the insulation. I had to play with the distance settings in the speaker setup quite a bit to get the sound I wanted. I had to tell it the surround speakers were much further away than they really were to get what my ear expected to hear. Also tweaked the level on the sub to get what I wanted. I had to set the Audio delay to the max time in order to sync up the sound with the digital audio cable. I prefer the sound quality when I set it to the EQ mode and play around with the mid range a bit. If you aren't happy with it stock, don't forget about that EQ option....you really can make a difference with that tool.

Simple Setup

Setup took only a few minutes and no tools! Worked as advertised out of the box.
