Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Offering the elusive attributes of simplicity and convenience to anyone seeking quality home entertainment, Samsung's shining HT-DB390 delivers DVD and music playback in dynamic surround sound--without the need to drape speaker wires across your living room for the surround speakers. That's right: the HT-DB390 comes with a special high-bandwidth 2.4 GHz digital wireless transmitter that beams the data for the system's left and right surround speakers right to them, so you can enjoy enveloping multichannel surround sound without the fuss of drilling holes or hiding speaker cables.

The front left, right, and center speakers all use cables, of course (supplied), but--being closer to the system's unified DVD player/surround receiver--they'll be relatively unobtrusive. The HT-DB390 spins DVD-Video, high-resolution DVD-Audio, DVD-R/-RW, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) CD, as well as JPEG image CD--great for living-room slide shows of your digital photos.

The amplifier delivers 60 watts per channel to each of the system's 5 compact satellite speakers, while the stand-alone subwoofer packs a hefty 100 watts for wall-whopping bass. A built-in AM/FM tuner comes with 30 station presets for easy tuning to your favorite stations.

All major movie and music surround signals are decoded and routed to their appropriate speakers: multichannel DVD-Audio, Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II (which generates 5.1 surround from any stereo source, whether movie or music), and DTS 5.1-channel surround sound. The system includes an AM/FM radio tuner with 30 preset memory settings, and a headphone jack for private or late-night listening.

DVD-Audio discs offer super high-fidelity sound, providing 192 kHz/24-bit multichannel and/or stereo sound (depending on the disc), high storage capacity, and unique bonus materials not available on regular audio CDs. These discs often have compressed Dolby Digital soundtracks for listening on standard DVD players, but true DVD-A decoding such as this system provides is required for full sonic appreciation.

The system's progressive-scan component-video output prepares you for the future, with the ability to use the system in conjunction with a high-definition or HD-ready television. Smooth progressive-scan images are free from even the slightest hint of blurring or distortion, bringing new realism to DVD movies and other selections.

The HT-DB390 also performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; reverse 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

Auxiliary audio/video inputs let you connect additional components like your VCR to the system.

What's in the Box
DVD player/integrated surround amplifier, 4 satellite speakers, a center speaker, a powered subwoofer, AM/FM antennas, a wireless transmitter, a remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, all requisite cabling.

Product Description

Samsung HT-DB390 Wireless Home Theater System - Buying a new widescreen TV is only half of the home-theater experience. This system delivers the 5.1 channel surround sound that emulates a true theater experience that decodes Dolby Digital and DTS signals that allow a DVD to be heard as it was meant to be heard. Prior to this sound system, many people avoided home-theater surround systems because of the difficulty of wiring the rear channel speakers. This uses Bluetooth technology to allow a wireless connection. Fewer wires make installation easier.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprised it works so well!, September 23, 2004

I was skeptic when I bought DB390 because wireless rear speakers is a new technology implementation using bluetooth. I was pleasantly surprised when it took me little effort to set it up following the manual and the wireless receiver works well.
My main concern was that I have 802.11b/g router that uses 2.4Ghz also, and I have a wireless bluetooth headset, but so far everything works great! I haven't had any issue when using all my devices (wireless network, DB390, and headset) at the same time!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great system with many features, August 12, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Samsung HT-DB390TH Wireless Home Theater System (Electronics)

Overall I think this system is very good. It produces great sound for small living rooms. The wireless tower didn't work when I hooked it up, but if you read the manual it clearly states that there's a reset button on the back of the tower and you must press it a couple of times if the tower does not comunicate with the reciever. I did this and everything works great now. I have had no problem with the wireless speakers picking up other signals and they sound just as clear as the front wired speakers. If you want wireless and don't want to spend too much, then you can't go wrong with this system.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Sound; Easy to Install & Setup, August 3, 2004

Have had this system for a month, and am very pleased with it. The sound when watching DVD movies is greatly improved from my former sound source, a JVC stereo system. CD music also sounds very good.

This is the first home theater system I set up, but that went smoothly following the Instruction Manual. What sold me on this system is not having to run wires to the rear speakers. That was a real plus for me, and it works well.
