The sound is excellent and was fairly easy to set up. We purchased it to be compatible with our Samsung tv and having an updated remote is a big plus. Now we don’t have to switch remotes to get what we want. DVD and CD use is easy. Big bang for the buck! Only con – no return to previous channel button.

Good 5.1 sound when connected to a set top box via digital optical cable. Get a harmony remote to go with it, even when connected to a samsung lcd.

I recently bought the Samsung 522 system because it had wireless speakers and 1200W. Unfortunately, after I had it all together and watched several movies, I realized the fan in the rear speakers kept changing its pitch and volume. When no sound was being transmitted to the surround sound speakers, I could hear the fan motor roaring which distracted from the movie. After two days of this, I had had enough. I returned the system. I googled it and realized other people had the same problem. If samsang can resolve this problem, it’s a great product.

This syetem overall is decent. One of the main reasons I purchased this unit was because it was advertised with wireless rear speakers. This is NOT the case. The wireless aspect of this system is a wireless receiver which receives signals from the main unit. The rear speakers are attached WITH WIRE to this unit. Being unaware of this created many problems for me and I did not appreciate what seemed to me to be false labeling.

electronics expo has an awful return policy: they will pretend to not get your emails so if you want to avoid claims disputes avoid this shady dealer and save yourself time and aggavation. run.
