First, Amazon is one of the best out there for price, selection and shipping!

The HT-D6730w is very good for the price and seems to have corrected the problems that you may have read about by the end users of the HT-C6930W.

The sound is as good as my 8 year old Onkyo system which cost $1500. Although my Onkyo is better built with polished aluminum speakers/AV and a AC power sub (the Samsung is high gloss piano finished plastic) the processing for surround seems to work better with this Samsung system. (Modern technology) at it best ;-)

The system is very well packed in its box and took me as much time to unpack it as it did to set up, about an hour from start to finish and looks/sounds great with my 65 DLP TV.

I was a little confused looking at the picture and only counting 5 speakers plus sub; how could it be 7.1 The two front tower speakers is 2 separate speakers in 1. Therefore by counting them twice you come up with 7 plus the sub. The 2 rear wireless speakers have wires that go to the wireless AC power module and then it communicates with the AV receiver wireless across the room. The sub does not require a separate AC plug-in, which was surprising to me, however works very well.

The blue-ray player does not have a pop out tray, but direct feed like a CD player in a car. The up scaling works great and standard DVD's looks as good as HD. The 2D to 3D is not bad either. I put in Polar Express (standard DVD) movie and clicked on 2D to 3D along with the 3D sounds and my kids just loved it ;-). One button push on the remote to get to Netflix is another plus.

Again, for the price this is a very good system!

Bought this mostly for three reasons:
1. So I wouldn't have any compatibility problems with my Samsung TV
2. Rear wireless speakers (although not true wireless, sure beats having wires or having to running wires across the living room)
3. Tallboy front speakers. (I have my TV mounted on the wall, so having these tall speakers helps the room look proportional. And I don't have to buy speaker stands for them)

Obviously if you are looking for a system with the best sound quality there are better products out there in this price range, but I was looking for a specific set of features.
During my research to find a stereo system that had the perfect blend of qualities, features, and price I came to the conclusion that this was the perfect one for what I was looking for.
I've had this product now for about a month, and have no complaints. The 3D blu-ray works well with my TV, I like the Ipod/Iphone cradle that it comes with to play my tunes, the sounds are rich and full, and am impressed with all the little online features the system offers.
The only thing I didn't like about this was the depth of the blu-ray player/receiver. I had to cut out the back of my display case/shelf, that I use to place all my electronics on, more than usual for this device. I thought drilling a hold in the back for all the wires would suffice, but had to cut a lot more to provide enough space for the device.
All in all, I would recommend this product for those looking for the above features.

Overall it is an awesome unit and a good price. I agree with most everyone's 5 star reviews. The user interface is great, the online features are awesome (go Netflix!), 3D movies are spectacular, and the sound quality is good. I especially like the form factor. It is a thin receiver with built in 3D blu-ray. I like the small footprint. My only gripe and the reason why I gave it only 4 stars is that I found that the tower speakers look and feel cheap. They did not stand up perfectly strait (leaned forward a bit) and event though they were on level ground they had some give/sway to them. It is all very plastic. Mine may have been damaged in shipping but it is hard to tell. Either way, overall I would recommend these for the price and user experience. It works great with Samsung TVs.

I've Read the items specs, reviews, and comparisons before I purchased this item before I was moved just enough to throw away $700. (Throw away, not waste) I'm sure if your reading this you must know the basics. Its 1300W, 7.1 surround sound, with wifi, iPod, and online hub capabilities. Yea yea cool cool, my Samsung TV does the same thing minus the iPod function. I first opened the box amazed at how well packaged it was and a little skeptical that it could be setup so fast. Never the less, the item was up and running within 30 min. Its pretty simple, just big. It's loud and very clear! I can tell you that right off the bat but I'm more interested in its sound qualities for when I want to have a nice surround sound experience in the comfort of my home. I don't really use 3D mode as I don't yet have a 3D TV. Vertical mode is just louder than all other modes. You hear all the small things as well as everything else through all the speakers. Aside from that you have Music, Movie, Stereo, Prologic II, and Matrix mode which all sound different. Of course I only play with Vertical, movie and music mode so keep that in mind as well. Movie mode for movies has to be turned up so you can hear all the tiny voices, but when its time for an action sequence it get's a lot louder than necessary but sounds exactly like your at the movies. You can hear shell casing hit the ground and bounce around in the small rear wireless speakers very clearly. I'm Impressed simply by that really. The best experience though was playing Battlefield 3 with the system in Movie mode. The best gaming experience and test of this system I've ever had hands down. You are in the center of everything. You hear planes, and helicopters taking off and moving from one corner of the room to the other. You can identify locations through the sound of footsteps, or whoever is giving commands at any point around you. Truly unbelievable. For what this system can do at its price point I am completely content. If there's any other system that can do more than but cost's more, than its purely over kill if you ask me. If you have the cash, and your looking for a similar experience this is the system to get!

Let me start by saying the 7.1 surround sound system isn't your typical 7.1 system with 7 separate speakers and 1 sub. It actually has 5 speakers (2 tall front speakers, 1 center speaker, 2 surround speakers). There are speakers at the top of the tall stand speakers that act individually, but are attached to the stand. The center speaker is small and sounds strong but clean. The two surrounds are remotely powered and sound great. The subwoofer is smooth, but strong enough to provide quality non-distorted bass. What I really like about the system are the multiple options for customized sound, as well as the interactive internet applications (Samsung should have added YouTube). This system provides a strong crisp sound with just enough bass to even it out. The sound is clean with no distortion. I am enjoying it!

It's a Really good system. I had to turn off my HDMI Deep Color off to work with my Projector. I thought it was the system. So i sent it back Amazon sent me another one real quick. That one did the same thing, so I called Samsung customer service they said I had a another defective system. I turned off that HDMI Deep Color Off and Presto, It works like a Charm. I always order my stuff through Beach Audio or JR Audio and it comes with in 3 to 5 days, but I save like about 1 to 2 Hundred every purchase. The Sound isn't all that loud but My wife kinda likes it that way. I have my 360 and computer hooked up but I always need 1 more HDMI Input, but nothing a splitter wouldn't Fix. Very Nice System Overall. A must buy if you like all kinds of cool features Like AllShare,NetFlix and YouTUBE.

I'll sum this up in two words..."HOOOOOLY SCHNIEKE!!". I installed an "earlier" version (7.1ch HT-C3760W) of this system in my girlfriend's home with her 47" Sony Bravia 3D HDTV. On this "C" model, the two front speakers are not built-in to the tower. I knew that once I heard hers I HAD to have one of my own. I searched for and compared different brands; Panasonic, Sony, and Onkyo to name a few, that would deliver the same quality sound and with the same or similar features as this Samsung. Each paled in comparison.

I found the 7.1ch HT-D6730W system here and KNEW it would be well worth buying. Once I installed and got it set up with my 47" Vizio 3D HDTV, I was simply stunned to at it's performance. I watched a "test" 3D movie the night I set this up complete with the 3D sound feature. The two made for the most incredible home theater 3D cinematic experience I could have imagined!

The 7.1ch HT-D6730W has a few more features than it's sibling, the 7.1ch HT-C6730W. One favorite button I discovered on the remote in particular, is the "2D-3D" feature which "turns" and ordinary 2D Blu-ray into a 3D one (3D tv required of course).

I also have my HD/DVR routed through this system's receiver. This allows me to enjoy many of the HD programs in HD/3D surround sound as well. Movies have never before been so amazing to watch and hear.

All in all, if you're searching for a superb quality surround system package, I HIGHLY recommend the 7.1ch HT-D6730W above the rest. On a scale of 1-10, I'd give it an overall 15+! The stellar quality this system offers has no equal in my opinion. I would expect this as well as closely similar systems to sell for at least $800-$1200. At the price of LESS than $600 for THIS one, it's beyond a doubt, a STEAL!

It's a good looking system. Very well packed. Quality of the equipment is above average. I did a very simple setup, two front speakers, center, wireless surround module on ceiling and two speakers on ceiling too on the right and left of the main couch.

Cons:
The remote control does not light up.
The speaker wires are short to any standard, they could have easily added 4-6 extra feet.
Sub can be a little more precise.
No option to hang the front speakers (must use stand) They do look pretty sleek.

Pros:
7.1 system (not a true system) but it saves you space and running more wires.
Speaker wires can't be labeled any easier....too easy. It will take you 5 minutes to hook them up, that easy.
Rear wireless speakers sound great...no problem with wireless.
Sub uses not external power.
Sufficient power to fill a big room and more.
Calibration was quick and accurate off by a foot or so.
Samsung menu is easy to navigate.
The price is very good for everything you get.
1Gbps or wireless, both work great.
iPod base and connectivity.

Other notes:
Don't use the 3D surround and vertical surround at the same time. Vertical surround sounds good for like a party scene or a 7.1 blue-ray movie.
The 7.1 speakers can be turned off by turning vertical surround off. You can still use 3D surround or pro-logic, etc.
No buttons on the player itself, it's all soft touch...which is kind of cool unless you like pressing buttons instead.
I have owned a high end 7.1 system and this comes very close, but you have to look at the price, my true 7.1 system was over $3k. It was also a lot of speakers to have around, plus back then there weren't many titles with true 7.1 channels.

You can't go wrong with this system, both the equipment and sound quality surpass the $$$$, great value.

This system does everything I want it to and more. The at home set up was simple enough for DIY. Once you connect everything, it pretty much does everything else itself. I can now watch or listen to any media on any of my devices with little to no effort. If you are looking to make one purchase to bring your entertainment center together, this is it.

Samsung Electronics HT-D6730W Home Theater System
So easy the receiver works seamlessly with the 64 inch 3d TV. Especially enjoy the HT calibration for the seven speakers. There are physically five separate speakers. The L R towers have #5 and six tweeters at the top for the 7 total count. The included microphone is much fun to move to different locations in the room and calibrate the impact on DB for each speaker. The wireless rear surround just plain work. The USB port of the receiver is used for the external 1tb HD containing the movie library. Am so pleased with the Samsung PN64d550 and the Samsung HT-D6730W system. The Directv is interfaced with HDMI cables for a pure digital HD connection. Thank you Amazon.
