I am the owner of this Samsung HTDB120 home system cinema and now I have a problem with it maybe you can help me: I bought it three years ago and worked perfect until yesterday when I tuned it on and heard a unusual sound. Then appeared on the screen 'PROTECTION' for 5 second. And it tuned off... I don't know what to do..maybe you can help me..please..

When the Samsung HTDB120 works, it works well. I have it set up in a spare Tv room. The short lifespan shocks me though. I know of 3 people plus me who bought this unit within a month of each other. I was the unlucky one to have to pay for the 'eye' to be replaced , the other 3 were still under their 1 year warranty. Now 4 months later (repair warranty expired) the unit has the same problem! Is this a common problem that the lens goes faulty - should it not last longer than a year?

The Samsung HTDB120 home theater is great and so is the price. However, I would really change that slow drive. MY computer's DVD is even faster than the Samsung's. All the features are great and the sound rocks!!!! I can't believe I've got such a good system for such a low price. You can change the wallpaper, it is just like a computer in your bedroom. The device is excellent. Nonetheless, I am starting to get worried about the problem the other user mentioned about the sound processor. Gotta be careful!

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.
