Good for the money
4 out of 5 stars.
Bought it at an excellent price, way cheaper than the local electronic stores in town thanks to a sale at Amazon. Had it shipped for free and received within five days. The set up is simple and to the point. The manual could be improved. One note on the rear speakers; ensure you have the system set up for 5:1 or else the surround speakers (rear-wireless) will not work. This can be done at the set up screen by selecting Sound > Speakers. I have seen a few complaints on the rear speakers not working, and that could be one of the issues. My set up was a breeze and everything works as expected. The front speakers are really good looking and easy to assemble. The speaker wires provided are cheap, so be ready to buy new ones.

Pro's: HDMI Out (1), the picture on DVD's are very good and the sound is astonishing. If you have a Samsung TV with Anynet, the receiver and the TV will work in unison. Pretty cool feature to have, it will allow you to control the TV and the DVD with either remote. The TV will recognize the Home Teather System right way and will set up the Anynet feature automatically. There is also a plug-in for your iPod.

Con's: There isn't any HDMI in, and only one Digital input. Wish it would have at least 2 HDMI's input and 2 HDMI's output.

Overall, good equipment for the money!!

good but could be better
4 out of 5 stars.
the towers come in 2 parts and are hard to get straight, not to mention that there are speakers in the top half only, and the top half cannot be made to sit on the stand. Otherwise good buy for the price.

Great Sound, but wireless rear speaker system no as good
3 out of 5 stars.
We bought this to serve as primary stereo and DVD player for our house. The expectation was that the wireless rear speaker system would be able to work in the adjoining room to pipe in sound. We put the receiver within the 30' limit, but not in direct line-of-site and the signal breaks up occasionally. We tried moving the receiver even closer, but it has not work. Besides that, I have not been able to get the digital/optical link to work, but I think that might be due to the transmitting equipment and not the receiving equipment.

The sound quality is great and the set up was very easy.

Outstanding
5 out of 5 stars.
I went out on a limb and bought this product to go with my new samsung 52" HDTV. And it rocks! I originally was looking at doing high end individual pieces with speakers from fluance that everyone raves about, but since Im not an uber techie who reviews the likes of bose and hangs out in professional sound studios, this system more than does the job. Whats really great is the Anynet device feature that syncs up my tv to the home theater system. I also thought that having the rear speakers be towers would be better but Im quite pleased with the way I have my little guys arranged and they certyainly deliver good sound, even remotely.

The downside, not that it really matters, is that while you can sub in 16 gauge copper wire for the front 3 speakers, you have to use the supplied wires for the erars as they have specially designed adapters for the uplink box. But they still sound fantastic and the sub absolutely booms! My house is filled with sound and my movies look and feel amazing. If youre just a normal person, this is a great way to go!! Especially for the price!

Great Quality
5 out of 5 stars.
This is a great system. The sound is very clear and I love the wireless speakers.
