Good Points

Looks fantastic! All speakers come with individual stands. Great sound quality and loads of connection options (Optical, analogue inputs)


Bad Points

Short life span (I was lucky to take the extended warranty on this system as after a yera the sound processor burned out and had to be re-soldered. It hasnt been fixed properly and is about to back for repair again. Sometimes there is a delay in the surround sound when being played throuh the analogue inputs (i.e sky or cable TV). Big remote with a lot of redundant options ive not even looked at, could have streamlined remote a bit better.


General Comments

The Samsung HTDB120 is a fantastic looking peice of kit! I picked it up in the Dixones sale last christmas (2003) for £150 and haven't been let down, until recently. I have this hooked up through my xbox for surround sound and also my Telewest digi TV box for surround sound on cable TV which sounds great. The only complaint about the sound is the dealy in the surround sound through the analogue audio inputs and you are using somehting like a cable TV box. If you have your TV volume on as well you can notice a 1 second delay between the sound outputs, a bit annoying but not life threatning, just need to mute your TV.

    for weesteev......
    the split second delay in sound I solved by running 'test sound' around through all the speakers at least once.
    There is a button on the remote that does this, it plays a fuzzy noise through each speaker once, including the sub which just comes out as a rumble (which sounds ace) and only takes like 10secs. however the delay in sound will come back after a longer period of time.
