Product Review

Best to stay away from this one

by   fasteddie7767 ,   Dec 27, 2008

Pros:  Had most everything I was looking for in a home theater system.

Cons:  Got two.  Neither worked.

The Bottom Line:  Nothing but problems.  Pass on this one, folks.

Overall Rating: 1/5 stars
 

Author's Review

I purchased this after buying my Samsung LCD TV.  This home theater system came with the proprietary "Anynet+" system which was supposed to integrate the two devices.  It did integrate them, but in the most annoying way possible.  But I digress from the point of writing this.  The true problem was that the home theater system simply didn't work.
I purchased it and got it home.  Assembly was pretty simple and the wireless rear speakers seemed to work well.  For about five days all was going well.  Then the problems began.  It started with movies freezing up at random points during the movie.  The only way to get it to "unfreeze" was to unplug it, and let it sit for ten minutes and then plug it back in.  Eventually after two days even this stopped working and it would freeze one minute and thirty seconds into anything that was played, be it an audio CD, a DVD, a DivX CD...didn't matter.  Multiple "hard resets" did not solve the issue.
Samsung's technical support was as helpful as they could be, but it was way beyond phone support.  They wanted me to send it in for repairs that would take 10-14 working days.  As it was still in my 15 day full replacement from the place I bought it from, I opted for that instead.  (It took another month for them to get another one in ironically, but that's another story.)
When I finally got the new one in and hooked up, it took about twenty minutes to realize I had problems again.  This time the sound started cutting out and dropping at random.  At first I thought it was the DVD I was watching, but it also did it with the Audio pass-through from the Satellite receiver, CD's and iPod.
Now excuse me for being a bit venomous here, but it seems to me that the minimum functionality a home theater system should have is the ability to handle sound.  That's kind of the entire point of a HTS.
Sadly, this missed the boat.  And with me, two strikes is out.  Back to the store with the HTZ-510.
I just installed my new Sony system today.  Review to follow.
