   I suggest that anyone contemplating purchasing this unit and expecting to use it longer than a year seriously consider, instead, paying a bit more for an independent speaker system and independent media player.

   I had to give some rating to this thing, and I didn’t want to skew the ratings downward when I can’t speak to this exact model, BUT…

   I’m extremely disappointed and upset with Samsung products in general, particularly their home theater systems. In my experience, they work just long enough to get out of warranty, then start falling apart. They don’t manufacture any given product long enough for it to get out of warranty, so, no one can ever write a negative review of one of their products based on that. Hence, this cautionary “review.”

   I bought one of their HDTV’s in January, 2007, on the strength of their reputation as a leader in HDTV picture tubes. In less than 13 months, one of the two speakers simply stopped working. I was aggrevated, and cursed my luck at having it break so close to the end of the warranty period. But, I took it as an opportunity to upgrade to a home theater system.

   The Samsung home theater system that was most closely analogous to the one reviewed here was receiving reviews as positive as the ones I see predominating the above comments. I bought it in February of 2008. It’s now August of 2009, and the DVD player has just stopped working. (It still functions as a speaker system and radio… it just cannot read discs). I’m forced to pay $170 (+ $48 packing/shipping) to get it repaired, or pay for a whole new system. According to the technicians, the speakers and subwoofer are incompatible with anything other than this particular media unit. I just barely decided to get it repaired– I find it immorally wasteful to throw away so much hardware just because one small part broke down. If it breaks down again anytime soon, though, I’ll be very upset.

   I have purchased numerous electronic products over the years from many manufacturers. I’ve had very good luck with JVC, Sony and Klipsch; I’m two for two with Samsung letting me down. I can’t call back through time to warn myself away from these purchases; but, at least, I can pass this along to others as something to consider.

   Samsung does not support their products. My Samsung HTS displays movies off center. After 3 trips to their shop still not working. Steer clear of Samsung as will I.Samsung HT-Z522 Home Theater System
