Samsung HT-AS720ST Home Theater in a Box

 

It's not every day that a system like the Samsung HT-AS720ST catches our eye... and ear! Although it isn't a cheap $99 package, or an overpriced $2000 cube speaker system, this $600 home theater is something to take a look at if you are just getting...

Great Sound System

 

"I just purchased this the other night, dispite all the negative reviews about the setup. In about an hour and a half, I was up and running and watching TV and blu rays. The setup is really not that difficult, just be patient everything is color coded...

Look, sound, ease of set up, and overall great quality

Good for far but far from good

 

"Brought this puppy home was anxious to set it up. Totally please with how beautiful and elegant it look. Samsung did a great job combining simplicity and grace with the piano finishing. Setup took roughly 45-60 minutes. Powered it on and...

Gorgeous appearance, great sound

Keeps losing digital signal-it would be well worth the money if it worked correctly.

Great sound, had set up issues, but resolved

 

"My son put up our system and he is quite familiar with the process. We were doing well, but we could not get the voices when watching DVDs. We eventually turned over to the phone support. They were not understanding our problem. Well, it was really...

Great sound!

Better quality & easier to set up than expected!

 

"I am the average customer, looking for a good HTIB (home theater in a box), for a reasonable price. My husband watches a lot of sports (football, hockey, etc.), but we do not game (no xbox, wii, etc.) nor are we big movie watchers (no blu ray). I...

Sounds great and easy to set up @ reasonable $$$

HDMI cable not included

Consumer review by:

not good for older digital video inputs

 

"If all of your video devices use HDMI, then this is a good buy, but if you have any devices with component video, then this receiver does not support them. Comcast cable box and older Xbox 360. Don't just assume your "digital" video sources use HDMI....

Good value for new video sources

No component video inputs

SMOKIN"!!!!!!

 

"The sound and the looks are the best, but the rear speakers are a bit heavy. Best Buy sells plastic mounts that seem like they'll do the trick untill you hook up the speaker to them, then you find out that you're going to have to use super glue just...

Sound!

Hooking it up to my TV/Sat

Samsung HT AS720ST Home theater system

 

Not clear to me why Samsung made the unit so tall, the components would apparently fit in an enclosure half the height, but that's really my only complaint, if you can call it one. ... Read review
