Samsung HT-AS730ST review: Samsung HT-AS730ST

Samsung HT-AS730ST

Samsung HT-AS730ST Home Theater Receiver with 5.1 Speaker SystemReview

Samsung's affordable 5.1 receiver/speaker bundle provides a comprehensive surround sound solution, with room to grow to 7.1. And it's a perfect match for Blu-ray.

Good Reciever

I did not buy this at NewEgg... Got it at a major retailer, that thinks they are the "Best"... I had this for a little over a year when the front Right Channel started making a popping sound all the time. I thought it was the speaker so I replaced the...

Great Sound! Big Power for the price! HDMI Audio Passthrough

Hard for my family to use. Only lasted about 18months

Too Difficult to Use

I have 2 other home-entertainment units at home (TV/family room and bedroom) and got this Samsung unit (not at newegg) for my PC room to play PC games and watch occasional movie. Unfortunately, this Amp is so hard to use, that something as simple as to...

Nice shinny black finish, excellent bass response from sub-woofer, plenty of inputs/outputs, great auto-speaker-tunning system, excellent all-around sound

Extremely difficult to navigate thru amplifier settings. You need to go to school and take a class on how to change any settings on this unit. Need instruction booklet on hand all the time due to complex system
