Not the quality I expected.

 

The price was attractive but you get what you pay for.

Easy setup ; Easy to take apart to retrieve your disk when the thing dies

The front panel controls are difficult to see. Sound was poor. After using it about 7 times the system died. Now it goes into protection mode. Displays PROT and turns itself off. I had to take it apart to get my disk out before I trash it

NOT IMPRESSED! POOR AT BEST.

 

Don't buy this POS system. I also suspect that their Blue-Ray version based on the same chassis is no better. I will not be buying any Samsung product any time in the future.

None yet that I can determin

Started to have issues at 6 months and died by warranty's end. Just growls, stops and locks up

Good, depending on price.

 

I will get down to the meat of my review in just a few sentences, I only paid $126.89 for my system, and I got my moneys worth. No problems with the fan at all as was reported by other people.

Short lifespan

 

Looks nice, sounds nice but fan broke a couple months after the 1 year warranty was up and was totally unusable...probably wouldn't buy another one.

Short lifespan

 

I liked my system but just after a year it stopped working. I went to turn it on one day and the word "Protect" came across the screen. Apparently, the fan within the unit stopped working which caused the system to go into protection mode, thus turning...

Samsung HT-C550

 

Great product the controls on the unit are touch, and it has its own menu on the TV when its in use. Its a great product and looks really good. Gets loud just not that loud on music CD's . But on movies it does great cannot complain there.

Perfect

 

This is a perfect surround sound for anyone with a small-medium sized room. I live in an apartment and have received complaints from neighbors because of the bass. It is perfect for anyone looking for an entry level surround sound. Hooking it up was a...
