Boston Acoustics TVee Powered Soundbar Speaker System with Wireless Subwoofer (Mist) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just received this speaker system and it is very impressive. Sound is much better than my stock speakers of my Panasonic 42" PX600U, which was having a vibration problem with certain High Definition discs because I like bass.
I paid a little extra 1 1/2 years ago because the Panasonic HDTV had a pretty decent speaker system as these things go. When I hooked up HD DVD and Blu-ray, my stock speakers seemed as if they were shaking apart in certain scenes having a vibration bass problem. This speaker system cleared that right up, as I can turn down my HDTV speakers and turn up the TVee speaker.
It is not a surround sound system and it doesn't pretend to be. It is perfect for my bedroom. I love being able to adjust the boom boom with the upside down trash can bass speaker. Very cool how it is wireless, except that you need to plug it in to an electrical outlet. It does make a slight hum, but nothing too noisy. And it does automatically shut itself off in a few minutes after your TV shuts down.
Voices seem more clear and equal to the background and special effect noises. I had a heck of a time adjusting my HDTV to get the voices and special effects to behave together.
My only real gripe is that you have to be 6 feet or closer for your remote to work with it, and it can be a time waster if you use both your TV speakers and the TVee system together to get them adjusted just right. There is no on screen programming with the TVee system.
The syncing with your own remote was very easy and I got everything going right away with that. It is pretty cool how the speaker system turns on when you turn on your TV and turns off a few minutes after you shut off your TV.
Ok, maybe one more gripe was the price tag. A little steep I think. You do get the wireless bass speaker and don't have to hook up a wire jungle, which should count for something I suppose. I got everything up and running in less than 10 minutes, which includes the unpacking and syncing the remote. Still, $350 was what I paid as of this review. I'm thinking for $250, I would be sitting a little more pretty, not feeling like I overpaid. Atleast give me some more remote control distance and some on screen programming to synch up the TV and the TVee speakers together.

Boston Acoustics TVee Powered Soundbar Speaker System with Wireless Subwoofer (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Be very clear about this- it is designed to enhance/replace your TV's speakers. It is not a 'virtual' surround bar or a 'surround' system. For me it was perfect. I am trying to keep my room simple. I have the plasma mounted on the wall above the TV. All the components are in the basement controlled via the Next Generation remote extender. I don't want speakers/wires all over the room. But in a big room, the speakers on my TV were terrible. People sounded like they were talking inside a cardboard box. Dialog was tough to hear. I needed something to fix that and this works perfectly.
One nice feature is that it turns on when it senses incoming signal and then turns off a few minutes after you turn off the TV.
The sound is good, almost great. It's plenty loud for my room (16 x 20 living room that opens up to a dining room and 2 story vaulted ceiling). The hookup is simple- TV audio out (or headphone out) to the speaker. Plug it into the wall. Plug the subwoofer into a power outlet and you're done.
I set mine up on the headphone jack and control the volume through the TV. You can set it up to learn your remote in about 5 minutes and control the speaker bar directly with your remote. Very cool. I programmed mine from 12 feet away and it works fine (some reviews posted problems with the remote- most of them programmed up close and then it wouldn't work). But when I mute the internal speakers on my TV I get annoying "Not Available" screens when I use the volume buttons. When it's plugged into the headphone jack the TV still mutes the internal speakers but I get a visual volume bar on the screen. I like having the visual bar.
So between the auto on/off feature, and controlling through the TV, this thing basically works like the internal TV speakers, I don't have to fumble around with yet another remote or reprogram my existing remote.
The bottom line: it sounds MUCH better than the internal speakers. It does what it says it will do.
The cons:
Expensive for a stereo setup, but the simplicity was what I wanted. I looked at a cheaper sony bar but I would have been running wires through walls and the basement. The wireless sub is a great idea and is what sold me. If you don't need wireless, the Sony bar seems to have more inputs including digital, and I think has some equalizer controls. I went for the wireless sub instead.
There's no equalizer, two little bass and treble knobs would go a long way. You could probably get great sound. My TV has a very nice equalizer- but it only affects the internal speakers. I have no way to adjust the soundbar.
The sub starts to respond in the middle ranges which leads to a heavy vocal experience (ie football games) and I have to turn it down to the point where it's almost useless. Good punch for movies and stuff.
If you want a simple sound bar, this is for you. You can probably go cheaper for a wired sub. Not a whole lot of options as far as setup. The remote learning feature is very cool and easy to use.
EDIT: After a while, I noticed the background noises sometimes were louder than the dialoge, esp watching sports. It sounded like the crowd/band/ect were much louder than the announcer. I changed the trim setting on the back to the lowest setting and that has made all the difference. I'm even more pleased with it now. I can turn the sub up a little more to where it should be.

Philips AmbiSound Home Theater Sound Bar with Integrated 1080p-Upscaling DVD/MP3 Player, HTS8100/37 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Always a tricky one when reviewing something which sounds great, but doesnt really do what it says on the tin.
I read a few reviews on the Phillips sound bar and decide to go for it rather than the Yahama, due to its inclusion of an upscaling DVD player being built in.
My house just doesnt lend itself well to placing 5 speakers, particularly rears, so I thought what the heck I'll try this.
The audio quality is excellent, deep bass (not quite sharp enough with movies on normal settings but that can be fixed by tweaking the audion settings and cranking the treble)and a huge array of different pre set movie and audio settings to suit your ear.
But as far as virtual Surround Sound capability goes...there isnt any as far as I can tell. I've tried various DVD's with scenes I know bring in the rear speakers on full systems and there is no distinguishable surround effect.
Disappointing really, although I have to say I still love the overall sound when its cranked up, it really booms out.
So if you want a boost to your TV sound and have a beautiful looking sound bar with built in DVD (and it does look awesome), you cant go far wrong. But if you are thinking you can change the laws of physics and have surround sound without rear speakers, think again, cause this just doesnt work!

Sometimes the quest for home surround sound is as ignominious as seeking the holy grail. Where do you place all those speakers? Do you have to reshape the room? Philips engineers have tackled that problem. They've managed to take the output from 5 distinct channel amplifiers and placed them in a single speaker called a Soundbar. Within the soundbar, speakers are angled to provide a realistic audio environment that literally emulates sound as if it's coming from all sides. It's 5.1 surround without the mess! In addition to the latest audio technology, the Ambisound system is only five inches thick and can be easily mounted onto a wall underneath an existing Flat-TV. The simple, yet elegant design enhances the décor of any home theater space, regardless of the room layout or design. The center console is designed to be mounted on a wall or resting on a stand. For maximum audio quality and clarity, the Ambisound system features a 3-band equalizer and DoubleBASS deep bass performance, creating a smooth cross over between sounds. The speakers feature soft dome tweeters for increased clarity and clear voice performance and are designed for maximum efficiency for full midrange performance. Additionally, users will enjoy the Smart Surround feature, which automatically ensures correct surround sound settings whether a movie or music is playing. Though not exactly 5.1 channel sound, The HTS8100 uses a host of technologies including array processing, precise driver positioning and psycho-acoustic innovation to achieve the full surround sound performance that is 5.1 channel compatible. Auxiliary input ports Subwoofer Only five-inches thick, the Ambisound SoundBar provides a stylish system with amplifier and a DVD player all in a single sophisticated design Philips advanced Sonowave surround SonoWave surround sound technology is compatible with all 5.1 channel surround-sound sources, such as DVDs, SACDs

HDmi Detective Plus Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was hesitant to buy this part mostly because of the price. As it is, building my Blu-ray HD HTPC ended up costing me about 3 times what I had originally anticipated! Here's yet another $100+ dollars ... "will it work and will it be worth it?" I wondered. Bottom line, I'm very happy I purchased this item because it does exactly what it is supposed to do.
I was having problems with my HTPC setup. I run HDMI carrying audio and video from my HTPC's motherboard to a A/V Receiver. Then, another HDMI cord goes from the Receiver to my HDTV. Before installing the HDMI Detective, the problem would occur whenever (a) my HTPC would go to sleep/standby and then I would wake it up; or (b) I would turn off my Receiver or HDTV and then turn them back on. In these scenarios, once I woke up the PC or turned on the Receiver/TV I would no longer have a video or audio signal via my HDMI cords. One solution was to do a hard restart on the HTPC, which isn't horrible, but certainly is a pain in the butt. The other solution was to leave all three components running 24/7, which I quickly ruled out as an option since cumulatively they consume about 1000 watts and we all know electricity isn't free.
So, I purchased the HDMI Detective and installed it between my HTPC and the Receiver. Plugging in the Detective was easy and the initial programing took about 5 minutes. This is a very easy-to-use device.
With the HDMI Detective in place between my HTPC and Receiver, now everything works more like a traditional PC. I can put my HTPC to sleep and when I wake it up the Receiver instantly sees the HDMI connection and sends the subsequent signal on to the HDTV. Also, when I turn off and turn back on my Receiver or HDTV, everything picks up on the HDMI signal as if nothing were the matter.
In conclusion, the HDMI Detective is an expensive item that you likely didn't anticipate needing to buy for your setup. But since you're reading this review you must be having HDMI problems. The HDMI Detective is 100% worth the price. I did some hefty research and I could not find any other items on the market that do the same thing that the HDMI Detective does, so that makes it even more worth the price. It is compact, easy to use, and most importantly, works perfectly.
Stop stressing, buy the HDMI Detective. It will solve your HDMI HARDWARE problems. Solving SOFTWARE problems is another story for another time. :)

LG LHB535 1100-Watt Network Blu-ray Disc Home Theater System, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Updated January 2011.
At the time of my current purchase (yes, current purchase - I'll explain that later), the unit was $420 and is worth every penny (it's almost $100 less now, so there's really no excuse for anyone to not pick it up). For that price, you get a very good Blu-ray player, decent speakers (I'll get to that later too), and the ability to do all kinds of streaming to the device using either an Ethernet cable or the device's built in Wireless N certified antenna. The main reason I wanted this particular unit was two-fold. One, it is the only decent Home Theater System that has built-in DivX HD support, which means that it has the ability to play pretty much all types of media (MKV, AVI, DivX, MP4, MPG, etc...) off of a USB or from your home server. This was crucial. This Blu-ray home theater system also just so happened to match the design of my LG 42LH40 1080p 120hz LCD HDTV (seen here: http://www.amazon.com/LG-42LH40-42-Inch-1080p-120Hz/dp/B001VJHWTQ - AMAZING television as soon as you turn off the 'TruMotion' feature). So, this Home Theater System matched my needs.
This was my first Blu-ray player, but I didn't even really get it for that. I mainly wanted to be able to stream all kinds of media to something in my living room that could also playback my DVDs and eventual Blu-rays. My Xbox 360 can handle all of my media, but that's in the bedroom. I needed something decent for the living room, and something to take advantage of my beautiful TV. So, after getting this system, I tried some Blu-rays out - and WOW! I've since bought almost 50 titles on Blu-ray. The picture and sound is amazing - but I'll get to that later!
I've mentioned "current purchase" and "first purchase" in this review so let me explain that. This device originally had a manufacturing defect which caused a loud high pitch whistle sound (sounded like a tea kettle) to emit from the front right, rear right, and sometimes the center speaker. I was the first to document this online, and I did it on the Amazon message board on this very page. I also replied to several reviewers on this and the page for the LG LHB335 device. Others mentioned this problem on various websites (I'm not going to plug them here in my review), so trust me, this was a big problem. On top of that, I was in constant contact with the head of LG's Quality Assurance team. After talking to him about the issue, he admitted it existed and promised to find a fix. I grew impatient and saw the price for this device drop (around $80 from what I originally purchased it for) so I decided to return it and thought I would re-buy it at a cheaper price once he assured me a fix was found. Well, a fix was found. I re-purchased the device and it's working flawlessly. The fixed ones are manufactured June 2010 and later. If you purchase it and the manufacturing date is before June 2010, you will have the whistle sound.
So, back to the review. There have been some firmware updates lately that added some new features (DivX TV - which is awesome, MLB TV, and Napster), so make sure the first thing you do when you get the device is to update the firmware. It's also good to do a factory reset the first time you do that just in case (me and at least one other person have noticed a bug that was solved when we did that - but it's possible that the bug would have been fixed with the firmware update that was released a few days after that - I don't know). It's also a good idea to go into the speaker settings and adjust the speaker distance (the amount of feet between each speaker and your usual listening position). Now, this device came with rather short speaker wires (probably the shortest out of any Home Theater System I've ever purchased). This was solved with less than $10 and a quick trip to Radio Shack. I'm glad the speaker connections aren't proprietary like some other manufacturer's models out there. Let's get to the sound.
The sound is pretty impressive. It's possible that the people complaining about the sound are doing it for two reasons. For one, maybe they used the short speaker wires and thus, their speakers are too close together. Mine are pretty far apart from each other, so I have no sound problems. For two, it's possible that they left the default 2-channel sound output set to Natural (or was it Natural Plus?). For two-channel stereo audio, I didn't like this very much. Changing it to 'PL II Movie' made two-channel stereo audio sound NICE. I have 0 complaints about regular stereo audio anymore. By default, the receiver is properly set to output 5.1 channel audio with the 'Bypass' setting. This means that the receiver does no artificial mixing of 5.1 channel sound. It outputs it exactly as it is given it. This is the right way to do it. The receiver will also remember your settings for 5.1 channel and 2 channel, so don't worry about having to manually switch it to Bypass for 5.1 and to PL II Movie for 2 channel. Go to something that is 2 channel (like the FM radio, or a DVD menu), change the sound output to PL II Movie once, and never worry about adjusting the sound output again (unless you are strictly listening to CDs or MP3s and then you will have various different music outputs to choose from). So, due to changing the stereo output and having the speakers at a nice distance, I really love the sound output of this system. I did notice that the bass was a little low by default so I increased the sub-woofer volume to 3 and it sounded really good. I tried changing it to 6 at first but that was WAY too much bass for me. 3 was a perfect level.
Hooking the system up to my Wireless N network was a breeze. To make matters easier, I set my SSID to 'broadcast' so the Wireless N device inside the device would pick up my network, I put in the password once, and it was a go. I then disabled the broadcast of my SSID, turned the unit off, turned it back on, and it automatically re-connected without a problem. It remembers your password and automatically logs you in to your network so you never have to worry about that again. Good. Clicking on Homelink, I was greeted to my wireless network. I saw the CIFS network login for the PC, and the one for my Windows 7 Homegroup (which is the one I wanted to use). Before it would connect to my PC via the Windows Media Player server (the Windows 7 Homegroup), I had to go into the Homegroup settings in my Windows 7 PC, click on 'All Networks,' and make sure the device (which is listed as 'Unknown Device') was set to ALLOW. Once done, I was inside my PC's video library. 14GB 1080p MKV files streamed flawlessly over my wireless connection where my device was 50 feet from my router. The only time I would run in to a problem was when I would try to fast-forward a large file. I'm not sure if this is because of the device, or my wireless network, so I won't blame the device. However, fast-forwarding a file when played on a USB (and naturally, off of a Blu-ray disc and a DVD) worked fine. So the issue was definitely wireless related. It's probably too much to ask to be able to fast-forward such a large file over WiFi, but I don't care as long as it PLAYS the file fine. It does. You can pause it all you want and it will resume instantly as soon as you press play. This was all I wanted. In addition, since fast-forwarding large files doesn't work, I've noticed that you can press 'Info' and skip directly to the time that you want, which works just as well if not better than fast-forwarding.
The player had no problem playing files off of each of my USB sticks, but there was one thing I noticed. If the USB external hard drive was formatted to NTFS, I could just plug it in and the device would pick it up right away. If the USB flash drive was formatted to FAT32, I would have to turn the device off and turn it back on for it to recognize it. It may be because of my particular USB flash drive, or it may be because it is FAT32 and not NTFS. Either way, not really a big deal. As long as I can play all file types off of FAT32 and NTFS, I'm happy.
YouTube, Pandora, VuDu, Netflix - all worked fine. As of now, you can't search via Netflix - you can only access things from your Instant Queue or look at some recommendations. Not really a problem, but worth mentioning. If you open up VuDu, make sure to go into the options and check out the overscan settings and make sure it is appropriate to your HDTV so nothing is cut off (unless your HDTV is set to 1:1 pixel mapping - which it definitely should be if you want the sharpest and most accurate picture - then you won't ever have to worry about overscan). YouTube works well, it seems to stream videos at whatever their default resolution is (whether it is 360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p). You can log in to your YouTube account so I'm sure that if you have your account to display HD video by default, that it would do that on this device. I don't really care to find out since I have a PC for YouTube. I just wanted to see if it worked. It does. It will store your YouTube history and not present you with an option to clear it, though. Doing a factory restore will clear your history (among other things) in the event that you reaaaaaaaally need to clear your history.
Let's talk Blu-ray. When I first got the device, I had a little problem with some movies when playing them at 24 frames per second (which you will want to enable as long as you have a 120hz/240hz LCD, or Plasma HDTV) but that was promptly fixed with a firmware update a week after I e-mailed LG about the problem (apparently, their whole line of this year's Blu-ray players were affected so I'm sure I was not the only one contacting them about it) and I have not had a problem since. If you don't know why you would want to set it to 24hz instead of 60hz - to make a long story short,...Read more›

Gefen Dvi Detective Plus Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After working extensively with the manufacturer of both my video card and LCD TV, I could not find an explanation, nor a solution to the problem I was facing: I have an HTPC with a nVidia 9000 series video card, outputting via DVI to HDMI input on my full Hi-Def LCD TV and whenever I turned off the TV, the signal would stop form the video card's DVI port, reverting back to VGA output. I would then have to re-enable DVI output and increase the resolution to get Hi-Def output again. Seeing as the HTPC stays on all the time (to record TV) and is the primary use of that TV (monitor), I couldn't keep making this switch or leave the TV on all the time.
I called Gefen and their pre-sales folks answered ALL of my questions. Again, neither the video card manufacturer, nor the TV maker, had ANY clue as to what the problem was and kept telling me "it should just work". I took the plunge and bought this device, got it very quickly and followed the SIMPLE instructions to get it to work EXACTLY AS PROMISED. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is the price. For a tiny little box with an EEPROM in it, it's too expensive!
Not only does my DVI output continue to work, even when the TV is powered off or unplugged, this device programmed on the first try AND passes though Blu-Ray movies in Full HD. I believe the reason the one negative review was unable to get this device to work is that Apple employs a proprietary copy-protection methodology that requires special cabling and signaling to playback material, above and beyond HDCP. This device DOES pass HDCP information when set as directed by the manual, as proved by the fact that my Blu-Ray movies actually play back!
I cannot tell Gefen how amazingly useful this product is and how much I will sing its praises. The HTPC market is just completely being ignored as content providers want us to use their DVRs and allow them to control what content we receive and as console gaming whips PC-gaming's rear end. I'm not going to even get into Net Neutrality, but given the special interests involved in locking us all into contracts for equipment rental, it's good to know that at least some companies are listening to our requests and providing us with the tools we need to consume what we pay for on our terms.

ViewHD 2 Port 1x2 Power Splitter Supports 3D 1080P Video (The Newest and the Best) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ok this is to inform you that we have done extensive testing on this product. Yes it is able to display 2 pictures to 2 different screens at the same time without any issue. Now what is the issue is that this unit CLAIMS to display a 3D Picture which it does not. We have tried connected this device and splited the connection from our Playstation 3 which with our old splitter did the job just fine splitting the 3D Picture. However with this unit the Playstation can not even detect the 3D Display. We have tried numerous different configurations even a configuration where we connected an HDMI 1.4A Amazon Basics with Ethernet and 3D support to the device and it STILL DID NOT WORK. After of hours of trying to get this unit to display 3D it just didn't do the job. We tried the unit on 4 different TVs here [3 of them being 3D] with not only the PS3 but also the LG 3D Bluray player with no luck. We have come to the conclusion that this device is claiming something it can not perform and are warning you if you read this review and are thinking of purchasing it to steer clear. Look elsewhere for a unit that will split a 3D signal. The worst part about all of this is that it claims "The Newest and the Best" which it totally is not. Funny thing is a splitter we purchased over 6 months ago can do the job but we were hopping to get something better which unfortunately this can't nearly even do the job. To make a long story short; STAY AWAY FROM THIS ITEM. PATHETIC FALSE ADVERTISING!

(More customer reviews)I have a DirecTV HR20 receiver and a Samsung TV that had a 50 ft run I was trying to split off in another room from the main TV. I tried the regular HDMI splitter but could only get video but no sound. After doing some research I found out I needed an active splitter. The original one suggested to me ran around $150. I came across this unit and read through the helpful comments. This unit worked perfect with no quality loss. Unit is very small as well which enables you to put it behind the receiver and you don't even know it is there.

Panasonic SC-BT235 Blu-ray Disc 1000W Home Theater Sound System with True Cinema Surround and Advanced Bamboo Cone Speaker - Full HD 1080p Playback Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this system at Costco after reading good reviews for the BT230. I was also impressed with the sound of the system at Costco, compared to the other displays. But after setting it up, several problems arose.
The good:
-Excellent sound
-Sleek design. My wife was a little put off by the tall boy speakers but tolerated them.
-Online content. Access to YouTube, netflix, etc.
The bad:
-Blu-ray player has problems. It was not able to play Baraka without locking up and rebooting. I thought it might be a problem with the disc, but I cleaned it and saw no scratches, and still the same problem. I read that Baraka has some of the most data-rich graphics, and the player always jammed up on very busy scenes with lots of movement and sound, like the panoramic views of waterfalls with roaring sound. This leads me to believe the blu-Ray player cannot handle it.
-Unit shuts down in the middle of movies, radio, etc. This has consistently happened - the unit just powers off automatically in the middle of a movie or while listening to the radio. Very frustrating.
-No wireless compatibility. Before I bought it I read that some of the panasonic systems have an upgrade for wireless rear speakers, but after contacting support, it does not work with this system. And the wires are way too short for stretching across any but the smallest of rooms.
That's too many bads for me, so I'm returning it to Costco today.
**Update: I got the Sony home theater, and Baraka (the exact same disk) played just fine. So there was a problem with the Panasonic blu-ray player handling the data load. And that was after updating the firmware.

APC H10BLK AV 1kVA H Type Power Conditioner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)APC AV H10BLK Home Th 1000VA Power Filter: I purchased this product to protect my HDTV/Receiver/PS3/Klipsch setup. The unit arrived in it's original packing & box within a larger box that had space for the unit to slide around in. Not the best pack job for shipping. After reading the manual I proceeded with the setup. So far so good. It all worked fine. A half a day later I tried to watch TV and could not get the system to work. I troubleshot the H10 and it seemed faulty. I disconnected the H10 and the system worked fine so it appeared I had a inoperative unit. A phone call later I had a RMA number and a new unit was shipped. It arrived 2 days later the same way the first one did. WTF. I reconnected and as of 2 weeks later no problems so I am quite satisfied. APC responded well. During a very hot day I could watch the low voltage light come on for several minutes at a time meaning a minor brownout. Other than that I have had no other indications of the operation of the unit except to monitor the indicator lights on the front panel. COnnecting all my equipment was a breeze and it did remove some of the tangled mess of wires behind my setup.

VIZIO VSB210WS Universal HD Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've tested sound bars from Sony, Yamaha, Philips, Samsung and Polk Audio. Was not able to find the Marantz and Denon models. These products encompass a wide range of price points. The one I bought was the Vizio: great sound and convenience at a price near the bottom of the range.
The wireless subwoofer is an amazing convenience. Its range is at least 20 feet, and it sounds terrific in a variety of placements.
I connected the soundbar to my HDTV console with an optical cable, which works extremely well with one caveat--to activate the audio, the TV must be set on a digital channel. After that, analog audio (including from a DVD player) comes through as normal. If you use the included conventional cable, no issues.
You have limited control options to tailor the sound, but that's to be expected at the price. Vizio uses SRS Labs' surround virtualization chip and also throws in its volume stabilizer to knock down loud commercial breaks. This is a cost sacrifice, as the Dolby and DTS HD audio codecs are much more expensive. No problem; the others sound thin, while the Vizio washes you with clear, powerful sound.
It's not true surround sound, but unlike some rivals, the audio experience isn't overly directional (sounds good throughout the room) and is much better than basic stereo. If you can't run wire through your walls to deploy full surround, this is a fine compromise.

Panasonic SC-ZT2 Wireless Home Theater System with Full HD 3D Pass for Panasonic 3D HDTVs Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was hoping as this is HDMI 1.4 that it would pass-through the 3D signal for my Samsung TV and Bluray... Unfortunately, no... it doesn't. I had to run the HDMI to the TV direct and then pass an optical from the TV return to get surround sound and keep my 3D working... Overall sound is pretty good and I enjoy it...I just am disappointed it did not pass through the 3D signal..

PowerBridge TSPBIW-6-WH Total Solution Power and Cable Management Kit (Each, White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I will never mount another TV on the wall without this product. It makes running power and cables so much easier and more professional looking. This is one of the best ways you can safely run power behind the wall for your TV. The included template makes it easy to cut the necessary holes for mounting the power boxes and covering plate. The plate looks very professional on the wall and gives the install a "finished" look.
I have a Samsung TV (PN63C8000), and with its large, flat power plug, I had to purchase a short power connection cable (the ones used to connect power adapters to surge protectors) in order to plug in my TV. Even with this minor problem, I think the kit is well worth the money and makes installing a TV on a wall much more simple to accomplish.

Samsung HT-BD7200 Bluetooth Speaker Bar Home Theater System (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Okay, so first lets start with what has not been listed in the product listing:
Blu-ray Profile 2.0 compliant for playback of BD Live material on compatible discs(needs internet connection)
Upconverts DVDs selectable 480i/480p/720p/1080i/1080p output via HDMI
Plays Blu-ray discs, DVD-Video discs, DVD-RAM, DVD-Rs, DVD-RWs, DVD+Rs, & DVD+RWs

Plays digital picture CDs (JPEG) and DivX videos
Built-in decoding for Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital True HD, DTS, and DTS-HD Master Audio (No DTS ES Discrete 6.1
DTS 96/24 DTS Neo 6)
3-channel amplifier (133 watts x 2 for front speakers, 134 watts for subwoofer)
Has a USB port for connecting an optional thumb drive or hard drive
Wi-Fi capable (needs optional USB adapter) and Ethernet port
Built-in support for Netflix movie and Pandora music services (you need to subscribe)
Has built-in iPod dock with audio, video, and iPhone support
Bluetooth-enabled (listen to your TV with a wireless Bluetooth headset)
No component or composite inputs
No coax input
No XM or AM radioSo, with all of these features, I can tell you that this is ok if you have a small space and no children. The finish is very glossy and shows every bit of dust and fingerprints and likely will easily scratch. The sound is a bit lacking when compared to a a true 7.1 system with a good (Onkyo) receiver. So, even though this decodes DTS-HD as well as DD True HD, it's kind of useless with this system. While it will decode those, you will not really get to appreciate it. Also, the sub is a bit weak. You have a 3 channel amp to run 2 speakers and the sub. So, if you simply do not have the room and you have to worry about neighbors, this is an okay system. I was thinking about giving this 4 stars, but after all, you can do better without spending that much more.

Samsung HT-WS1R Soundbar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been looking at soundbar systems for over a year now. It all started when I decided to add an Xbox360 and a blu-ray player to my home setup. I had a specific setup and a specific list of issues I was trying to resolve and I ended up getting a full 5.1 surround system to go with my blu-ray. It was pretty good, but then we decided to move into a new place and the tv had to go in a cutout above the fireplace. This created a problem because I didn't want to run wires all over the place and there was no way to get wires run out of the fireplace cutout without putting a hole in the wall...so, these are the issues I finally ended up needed to address:
1. I needed something that would sit in front of my TV, but not be too big because it would block the view of the bottom of the screen (the TV is a little high up)
2. I needed something that would generate a better range of sound than my tv's built-in speakers (I often have trouble hearing what people are saying, especially when there's other sounds in the show or if there's background noise like my kids or my dishwasher running etc...)
3. I needed something that would generate more volume than my tv's built-in speakers (again, just want to be able to turn it out without the sound turning to crap).
4. I needed something that would put out some bass.
5. I needed something with a digital audio interface (so either optical audio or HDMI) because analog audio sounds like garbage and picks up a lot of noise from interference.
6. I didn't want to spend $500+.
So, I looked at several systems. Most of the soundbars are small enough to sit in front of my TV without blocking my view, but some of them were very big...so I eliminated them from my list. Almost all of the soundbars had better sound than my built-in TV, but I crossed the cheap-o brands off of my list. Again, volume wasn't an issue...in-store testing revealed that all of the soundbar systems available put out quite a bit more sound than my TV without any loss of quality. And again, any soundbar with an active subwoofer generate a lot more bass than my tv, but I did have an issue putting a sub up on the shelf behind my TV. A lot of these systems have an infrared receiver for use with a remote control, and several of them put it on the subwoofer. For me to use that I would have to put the subwoofer on the floor and run a cable up to the TV/Soundbar...which isn't an options for me. So I narrowed my search to system with a wireless subwoofer. The digital audio interface was a little trickier, several of the soundbars only have analog inputs (either the Red/White RCA connection or the miniplug headphone connection). This is fine if you just to hookup an ipod or something like that, but if you want it to process any digital audio (like PCM, Dolby Digital, or DTS) then you need either an optical connection or an HDMI connection. I crossed a few more off the list. The price was the biggest differentiator...there are a handful of decent soundbars under $300...and then there's a rather big jump to $600 & $900+...I don't see any reason to spend this much money on a soundbar unless you absolutely have to. That much money would be better spent installing a full surround system if you can.
So, taking all this into consideration, I ended up looking at the Samsung HT-WS1R. It is listed at $300 and comes in either Red or Grey. I went in to my local best-buy and they happened to have a Red model open box for $270. I had been waiting a long time to pull the trigger on this decision, and I decided to go for it.
A couple points:
1. The best-buy salesperson told me it was a 3.1 system...it is NOT. It is a 2.1 system, which mean it has two speakers and one subwoofer. A 3.1 system will tend to give you better stereo separation (sound moves from left to right when the car goes driving by on the tv) and the center channel will give better vocal range for voices...but in a small soundbar like this you'd hardly notice.
2. The best-buy salesperson also tried to sell me a $30 optical cable. My friend who was with me told me he had one so I didn't buy one, but when I got it home and opened the box I found that it came with a nice optical cable...so you don't need to buy anything for this to work.
The Results:
So I got this home and had it hooked up in under 30 minutes. Be careful connecting the optical cable...there are little rubber caps on the end of the cable that need to be removed, and on mine they were clear so i didn't see them...might have done some damage if I hadn't noticed.
This unit easily met all of my requirements. The volume is much greater than my TV. It is a LOT easier to understand voices. The sub puts out a lot of good, solid bass (really adds to the drama of movies etc...). It looks good, and it all fits the way I want. I put the sub on the floor next to the fireplace and it's creating great sound. I might move it behind the couch and see how that sounds.
Pros:
1. Good value for the money
2. Looks very nice
3. Easy hookup
4. Great sound (quality and volume)
Cons:
1. Can't adjust sub output. (not directly at least. The soundbar has 3 audio modes, News, Cinema, and Music. It also has Passthrough which just plays it how it gets it from the TV...so you can adjust the levels on your TV if you want)
2. Had some issues getting my logitech harmony remote to control this unit, but got that sorted by programming the remote directly using Raw commands.
3. Doesn't have HDMI pass-through which would be nice if I wanted to connect multiple devices directly to this system, but my TV has 3 so I just use the TV to pass the digital audio to the soundbar and it works great.
So, if you're in my position or something similar this is a great buy. I haven't had any issues with sound quality, volume, or subwoofer cut-out. The reviewers that claim that this puts out less volume than their TV must have set this up wrong because it puts out A LOT of volume...I can't turn it up all the way because it would be way too loud...I turn it up to about 4 out of 8.
If you don't have a universal remote and want to hook a bunch of HDMI devices to a TV that only has one or two HDMI inputs, you should look at the Sony HTCT-100 or HTCT-500. They both have multimple HDMI inputs and the subwoofer acts like an AV Receives, so you can control your inputs using it. But, it is not a wireless subwoofer so it will have to have a physical connection to the TV and the Soundbar.
10/6/2010 Update!!!
Two comments
1. I keep the unit on "News" mode all the time now. It's easiest for me to hear dialogue (I think I have a little trouble hearing in this range) and it keeps the bass at a nice level.
2. A lot of people have commented on the sub going in and out. I have discovered through usage that the sub turns off at lower volumes...specifically when the volume is two click below 4 bars (or lower). I haven't noticed any issues with sound but I hear the sub turn off and on when i toggle the volume at that level...i typically keep the volume right at 4 bars except when i'm watching dvds...the volume output of my blu-ray player is lower than the tv so i typically have to turn it up when i watch dvds.
Otherwise, i'm very happy with this purchase and won't even consider an upgrade until someone puts out a 3-channel soundbar with wireless sub + rear speakers!
End Update!!!
