This product is great. The only problem we had was that our son stuck a ball in the sub-woofer, and there is no way to get it out. Quite silly, but annoying.

Bought the unit earlier this year…sold it by the end. Great DVD player with upconverting dvd’s to 1080i and controls very user friendly i thought. Only thing that i noticed right away was the sound quality, muddy kinda sound (Therefore making voices hard to distinguish unless turn up). Not sure if its just the speakers but doesn’t have that crisp sound. Had a Panasonic HTIB before and was waaaayy better sounding than this. Again not sure if changing the speakers helps (which possibly could) but then again, is it worth doing? Actually looked into it but just went with a Bose 321, which I highly recomend =). Again if sound quality is not THAT important its a great system. If your looking for better quality for round the same price range, an Onkyo would defenitly be a better buy!

I was amazed at the price for this home theater system with all the features it has. Upconversion looks pretty good. Sound quality is pretty good, but could use some tweaking (sometimes bass overpowers everything else). XM radio ready was what really got me excited about it and works good although sometimes its a pain in the [...] to read the info on the screen, it’s real slow and usually cuts of the last part of the name of the song. After having this in my home for about 2 weeks I turned it on and shocked it. Well the whole screen went out and the volume knob no longer worked. I took the reciever/dvd player back and it was replaced no problem from Circuit City. Would have had to ship it back to Samsung and wait 2 weeks or more for them to fix it. So now I just make sure to use the controller to turn it on. Overall I’m very happy with it and for the price I dont think you can beat it.

Before buying this, go to the store and compare the sound of wood speakers to aluminim speakers or other close materials. If you are like me, you will never want aluminum or plastic speakers again. I thought maybe the technology had gotten good enough to where I would be impressed by an aluminum set of speakers, I was wrong. Sure, this thing is loaded with features for this price (probably the best featurewise), but do we buy a sound system more for features or for sound quality? My ear is very discerning, and I buy for quality 1st and then the features I absolutely require second. If I cannot get both, I just raise my budget until I can, because without both you mise will listen to your TV’s regular sound or slowly build your audio system (start with 2 speakers, go to 4, etc…).
I returned the HT-Q70 for lack of quality sound, missing midrange. It does not have that creamy sound that I like which seems to only come from wood or larger speakers.
Featurewise it is fine, except for lacking some playable formats. I used to have an old Pioneer stereo with (2) $50 Radio shack speakers made of wood. I have to say that I would rather listen to stereo sound on that set then surround on this one. The “creaminess” and real-life sound was not there with these aluminimum speakers. You may like the sound of these speakers, but please go compare them to other materials.
For $110 more you can get the Onkyo 790 which has wood (maybe synthetic wood?) speakers, and all the professional reviewers have given far far higher ratings to the Onkyo 790 for sound quality. The Onkyo has much larger speakers as well though, which is probably part of the reason. Also, Onkyo is one of the few that actually has enough confidence in their HTIB speakers to sell them as individual units. Check out the Onkyo 790 CNET review or go to any audio forum. Most audiophiles agree that the Onkyo 790 is one of the best bangs for your buck under $450, if not the best. I am looking for the Onkyo set at a retail store so I can hear it before buying them, but I am pretty sure that is what I will get instead of this.
