2.0 out of 5 stars Stopped playing dvds, February 6, 2008

This review is from: Remanufactured Samsung HT-P38 Home Theater System (Electronics)

Great surround sound! That is the only reason I am keeping it. Lots of inputs and outputs on the back. It allows you to get technical and complicated with your tv set up. I have HD TV and digital TV as well as sat radio hooked to it. It stopped playing DVD's about 2 years after use. And it also has a weird noise coming from the fan when starting it up occassionaly. It goes away if you keep turning it on and off. It worked great for 2 years, but now it does not pick up DVD's. I tried cleaning and everything...Nothing. Now it is just a surround system. Mine was refurbished and bought from amazon. They did not inform me it was referb. but I guess for such a good price, it had to be. Stay away from this item. It works great for a little while, then it dies.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible System, July 16, 2008

This is a terrible system. I'm a Samsung guy, for the most part. I have several Samsung products and have not had very many issues as I have with this one item. This system is plagued with issues. Do a search online concerning this system and you will find it was a lemon from the start. Practically everyone has had the same problems. Just on the other side of the warranty, the system starts picking when and what DVD's it wants to play. Eventually, it stopped playing DVD's or CD's most of the time. I sent it back to Samsung for repairs, but their repairs only fixed it so it will play about 90% of the time. There are better systems out there. I would not recommend purchasing this aged and problem-ridden system.
