5.0 out of 5 stars Surrounded by sound for ultimate 1980s revisit, January 19, 2006

This review is from: Samsung HT-P1200 5.1 Channel Home Theater System (Electronics)

My husband got cancer so we got a home theater system. What else would you do if you expect to spend a great portion of the next six months at home on the sofa? Mind you, the New York winter in itself provides a pretty good excuse to stay in.

Now, I've never been one for gimmicks, preferring to dive into a good book anytime, but I must admit that this thing is fabulous. With my husband clearly unable to handle anything remotely heavy, I had to do most of the setting up. It took us about 40 minutes in total, and only because I'm nitpicky - those screws better be tight. Linking all the bits together was a piece of cake. We placed the speakers in their relevant positions and, wham, we had serious sound.

I've been told that this isn't the top of the range, but as far as my ears can tell, it's great. The subwoofer makes your floor tremble (and the dog sit up), and the speakers are elegant enough not be intrusive in the room (even when the room is not that big). It makes DVD watching a fantastic experience - better, almost, than being in the cinema. So, of course, we got totally hooked on DVD series. I never thought I would get into LOST, but how can you not when the gentle crash of waves on the beach rumbles in the background while Sawyer has his little hissy fit.

Many of our DVDs are from other regions (the result of moving way too often), but it was very easy to decode the system to allow it to play other DVDs (isn't the Internet wonderful?). Now, we can play all our DVDs, and music CDs, and even plug in our iPod to play music through this system. You beauty. The only thing it has refused to play so far is video CDs.

In short, if you plan to re-visit the 1980s by watching McGuyver, V, 21 Jumpstreet and a host of other DVDs ... you can't do much better than this in terms of value for money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and High Quality, February 23, 2006

This stereo is not only beautiful, but sounds great at a bargain price. DVDs are extremely crisp when coupled with an HDMI cable and the sound via the 5.1 is incredible. Matches perfectly with my Pioneer Purevision plasma, as if it was made for the TV. Bang and Olufsen style CD/DVD cover is pretty cool. High quality materials don't feel flimpsy or cheap. Overall, best home theater system under $1000 by far.

Pretty cool system. Remote functionality could be tweaked abit with Samsung TV remote, and cable TV. When you place a DVD or CD, and open system it always switches to DVD or CD mode. This is a pain when your watching a play-off game. Over all I'm pretty satisfied.
