Why is it the more expensive their htib's get the crappier the sound you get? Who the hell wants virtual surround sound? Fine keep a soundbar product since their popular, but the highest end one should be 7.1.

my buddy bought one last year..and it died..and he bought it from CC to make matters worse

[crazzeto]

It has a warrenty doesn't it? why not send it in?

I think money would be better spent on inexpensive speakers + receiver than buying these types of HTiB. The only thing nice about these units is that it is easy to buy and set-up.

You have no idea how important that is to so many people... Hence the market for these things... too bad they're getting seriously ripped on AQ here with all this simulated surround.

Wow, what a waste of cash, if you are going to spend that much might as well at least get a 7.1 set up, hell an Onkyo HTiB with HD Audio support is better priced than that and you can add a better Bluray player to it, not worth the cash if you cant even do the audio the Bluray supports, they should be pushing the fact of HD audio with Bluray, not making people get systems that dont support it......if that trend would keep up movie studios would have no need to even use HD audio

My Onkyo 7.1 HTiB set up is great, best sound for the price I could buy, working on replacing the receiver to get HD audio though

warranty expired..probably a 90 day or 1 year max....but i agree he should send it in

[crazzeto]

CCity wouldn't take it back either then, so where he bought it from really doesn't make a difference.

The Samsung website, the box and the placard inside the box all tout PC streaming to play MP3 and JPEG files. I networked the system and it plays Netflix just fine. However, there was nothing in the manual on setting up PC streaming. When I called L2 support I was told that this unit doesn't have this feature. Talk about false advertising!
Other than that, the unit sounds good and has good picture quality but loading disks is very slow (DVD and Blu-Ray). Even brand new discs right out of the box.

The specs of this thing look solid for a HTIB 5.1 set up. It even has wireless speakers not to mention just about anything anyone is asking for, other than 7.1 which is obviously missing here. I don't get why this is being bashed before setting out.

It's not a put together yourself set up, but shouldn't the question be is it doing a good job at being a HTIB and until reviews come in I think it's spec shit is decent to damn good. Isn't every HD audio format represented on HT-BD3252?

Give out info as to which set up would kill this out right for the same amount of dough & specs? Anyone?

The reason why "theater in a box" set-ups get shit on is because they suck pretty much all the time.


That's it.

All the other replies before yours are in response to the original announcement which didn't include the HT-BD3252.

Of course, being Samsung they can't help but lie about the specs. 1000 Watts? Please...
