Had it for a few years and love it........2004-07-10
Decent system.......2003-04-15
This item is horrible!!!!.......2003-04-01
Don't waste your money. Stick with the Sony Dream System line.
Great system for small room... if it can stay cool........2003-01-16
The manual is adequate, but could provide a little more detail. Connecting and configuring the system was straightforward and very easy to do. Once everything was up and running, I proceeded to test the system out. The picture quality through the component cables was exceptional and the sound was clean with little perceptible distortion. The system easily handled the various DVDs I threw at it and was able to provide volume levels a lot higher than I expected. The remote control leaves something to be desired, but most OEM remotes do. Still, the machine was everything I had wanted and I didn't have to shell out a lot of cash to get it so I was very happy and very imporessed with Samsung.
Unfortunately, my enjoyment of the system didn't last long. Apparently, the unit runs extremely hot and the fan may not provide enough cooling. Around 1.5-2 hours into watching DVDs, the system refused to display a picture on the screen. The unit was very hot and the fan apeared to have stopped. Only after I turned the power off and then turned it on again, did I receive a picture. I had read about this issue when researching the product, but thought it might have been corrected. Guess I was wrong. The unit I have is not enclosed in a cabinet, but lies on an open shelf exposed on all four sides, so it is not an issue of improper ventillation. I plan to take a look at the fan and see if there is some way I can fix it myself before returning it to the store for a replacement or store credit. I hope there is a solution, because frankly, I'd hate to have to shell out more cash for a system that does half of what this one does.
To sum it all up, for the price, the features can't be beat. Just be aware the unit does run rather hot and you may have some issues with the unit not working. If Samsung addresses these problems, they'll have a killer system. So 2 stars because of the low power and poor reliability as a result of cooling. If not for the cooling issue, I'd give the Samsung HT-DM150 at least 4 stars.
All in one great value for money.......2002-10-23
On the minus side, the speakers look mediocre like some [low-end] computer speakers, but the sound is clear and crisp. The remote that comes with it look like [low-end] plastic, very unattractive. Anyway, what I really care is the numerous functions of the remote.
In short, if you are looking for a budget home theater with all the functions, then this is the one you should go for.
