Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Samsung HT-C6930W Blu-ray 3D Home Theater allows you to see vivid dimensions in picture depth and action that both leaps off the screen, and draws you deep into the experience. Lifelike 7.1 channel surround sound fully immerses viewers, and introduces a built-in digital signal processor (DSP) that allows for an incredible, vertical surround sound experience. Plus 2010 Internet@TV Content Service delivers the best of the web, straight to your HDTV, with downloadable widgets and apps like BLOCKBUSTER, YouTube, Twitter, Flickr, Pandora and more. You can shop online, share pictures, catch up with friends and connect to a wide range of streaming digital content at the touch of a button. Built-in WiFi brings it all together beautifully. Your Home Theater is also part of DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance). Samsung’s DLNA Certified Home Theaters have AllShare, which enables content to be seamlessly streamed between DLNA devices, allowing you to play files stored on your PC through your home theater. An earth-friendly Eco Power Management System uses only the energy it needs, and 30% less energy overall compared to 2009 models. And Samsung’s new Crystal Amplifier Pro uses sophisticated “feedback” circuit technology that filters sound distortion and noise to provide pure sound. Samsung's wireless rear speakers free you from the tangle of cords, giving you great sound unbound. They're easy to set-up, and complement any room you put them in.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of features - get 3D glasses free (while offer lasts), June 30, 2010

By	Steve Hiemstra - See all my reviews

This review is from: Samsung HT-C6930W 3D Blu-ray Home Theater System (Electronics)

I had a 10-year-old rear projection TV (it died), so I went with the HT-C6930W home theater w/ 3D Blu-ray player and paired it with the PN58C8000 58" Plasma TV. A very good combo indeed! With respect to the Samsung Home Theater unit - lets talk about the 'pros' first...

Overall the components are all 'shiny black' and look futuristic without being gawdy. The Blu-ray player is the brains of the system, and it has a beautiful blue-glo when turned on through touch-sensitive icons that serve as buttons. Most programming is easier done through the remote.

There are many settings available on the Blu-Ray unit to tune sound and video. You won't be wanting there. Many of them will work 'just fine' in Auto, so you don't have to be a genius out-of-the-box. Still, you have the option of tweaking them.

Let's talk about the speakers - the front towers line up well sitting with your TV at eye-level. The center speaker sits well just below your TV screen, and the sub-woofer on the floor. The remaining 4 speakers provide your rear pair and side pair -OR- you can put one pair up-front to get 'vertical' sound. One of these pairs is 'wireless', sort of. The Blu-ray player has a transmitter card that sends the signal to a plugged-in reciever unit. The speakers still have wires running from the reciever to each speaker. Useful if you don't want to run wires from the front to the back of the room. Otherwise they aren't much of an improvement over wired. That said, they still sound very good, and 'no' you can't wire them into the Blu-ray player directly because there aren't any inputs for them on the player, so wireless components had better work. I only bring this up because on my first unit the wireless system didn't work, so I had to bring the whole home theater back in exchange for another one. Ignoring that - the speakers are very good.

The Dolby LPZII audio feature is amazing - beautiful 7.1 sound and even with HD cable most all of the stations take full advantage of it.

Cons - let's talk about them:

I already mentioned that the wireless speaker are just 2 of them, and there are still wires. Of course, to power speakers without wires you need each speaker to have it's own power source (either a battery, or a power cord). So, it does eliminate running wires from front of room to back, and that's helpful. Too bad my first wireless components were bad, and I worry that in the future, if they fail again, I'll have to return the whole system (not just the wireless) for repair.

Some of the video and sound settings seem to fight with each other. They have a feature to level sound when switching TV channels (so the volume won't suddenly increase on you), but that turns off the LPZII feature. Similar thing with video. But, this is the exception, and most all features don't fight with each other.

Overall, this is a great system, and it integrates well with the latest flat screen TVs, plays Blu-ray well, and even works with the Samsung 3D glasses (I got 2 pairs and 'monsters vs. aliens' 3D for free because I bought both Samsung TV and 3D Blu-ray player as a combo). They should just include this 'starter kit' with every 3D Blu-ray system. That will get more people to buy 3D movies.

Summing up - this is a great system, just hope it doesn't need service because it's a monster to return. And they should make the 3D glasses part of the package.

3.0 out of 5 stars Upgrade firmware to version 1008.4 OR be prepared to suffer, August 11, 2010

By	Randy L. Dodgen - See all my reviews

This review is from: Samsung HT-C6930W 3D Blu-ray Home Theater System (Electronics)

Setting this product up was the WORST experience I have EVER had with a Samsung product. Someone at Samsung should be fired for allowing a product with Beta firmware (at best) to be shipped. I love my Samsung TV (55" 8000 series) but.....their C6930W 3D Home Theater system is mediocre at best. I would rate their UI, firmware, and user manual a 1 star. I would give them a -1 in these areas if Amazon allowed.

The wireless rear speakers were either not well thought out or Samsung was just too cheap to do it right. You can only attach two of your four rear speakers to the wireless receiver. The other two rear speakers MUST be attached to the Blu-ray/FM receiver, so...out-of-the-box speaker placement options are constrained and therefore may affect your listening experience. I would rate them a 2.5 in this area.

As with other manufacturers, you will likely need at least two remote controls to operate your entire home entertainment system. I have a Scientific Atlanta remote control that I use for most stuff, but....I still need at least one other remote control for certain functions. Navigation in general on home entertainment systems leaves a lot to be desired, so I wont rate them on this one. My hope is that the intersection of TV & internet will finally spur someone to create a better mouse trap.

The overall sound quality is reasonably good for a sound system in this price range. I would rate them a 4 in this area.

The glossy finish on the product looks nice when its clean, but it's easy to scratch and shows ALL fingerprints, dirt, etc...

The version 1008.4 firmware update solved a lot of the initial problems I was experiencing, so...I rate the product a 3 overall. I've had above average experiences with other Samsung products (this has been by far the worst). Most of the problems I see with this product can be corrected via software, firmware, and user manual updates, so....hopefully Samsung will continue to address.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beware! No Amazon VOD or Yahoo Widgets, September 5, 2010

This review is from: Samsung HT-C6930W 3D Blu-ray Home Theater System (Electronics)

I've been using this system for about a month now and I like the way it looks as well as the sound quality. Don't expect an ultra professional system, but it's worth what you pay. I would agree with another reviewer, the sound is better with movies than music.

I didn't know this since I purchased the system: (this may change with a firmware upgrade in the future), but the Internet@TV contents of this system are not the same as the contents you get with an Internet@TV enabled Samsung HDTVs (xxxx6500 or later). Unfortunately, you do not get the Amazon VOD or other Yahoo! widgets with this sound system, the ones you get with this one are all Samsung Apps which is a different set. This was a bit disappointing. This should have been clearly indicated in product descriptions.
