slow to load

For the price this is a good system the sound is great but it can take forever to load a blu-ray, and like every1 else says the wires are to short.

NOT A RATING FOR PRODUCT BUT FOR AMAZON

This rating is not for the product but for the false advertising by Amazon, which is becoming a very common practice. As of today, April 24th, when a person logs on to the site, there is an advertisement for this product in the right hand upper corner...

We love it!

Having studied several home theater systems "in a box", we settled on this one to join our Samsung 50" plasma. It's lived up to its positive reviews, creates an awesome theater experience and is an excellent value. A couple caveats. Set up as...

Excellent home theater at a good price.

This home theater system is what convinced me to finally make the jump to Blu-ray. I bought it from Amazon at 51% off its $1000 MSRP. I added Amazon Prime and had it in my home in two days. Set up was simple, but with seven speakers plus a subwoofer,...

Product Specifications

Consumers can now enjoy the full HD 1080p cinematic video quality of a Samsung Blu-ray disc player with an immersive audio experience that takes watching movies to a whole level. The HT-BD2 7.1 channel HD receiver speaker system provides richer and powerful sound with its industry leading Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio format support. With its slick design and soft blue LED accents, the HT-BD2 augments both the audio presence and visual aesthetics of home theater. A fully powered subwoofer, accentuated by four towers, a center channel, and two satellite rear speakers, gives the HT-BD2 a rumbling 1,100 Watts of total output power to keep movie and audio fans satisfied - all from a sleek and single component system that makes operating any function easy.For a truly cinematic home theater viewing experience, the HT-BD2's Blu-ray player offers full compatibility with 24 movie frames per second playback. As most movies are filmed at 24 frames per second, the HT-BD2 will be able to playback movies in their native format, significantly reducing unwanted artifacts. Setting the player's Movie Frame (24Fs) feature to ON allows the consumer to adjust the HDMI 1.3 output to 24 frames per second for a crisp, theater-like experience.
