Buy additional HDMI cables for each device (DVD, VHS or TIVO ). Matching brands will give you the most function between the TV and sound system. The Samsung HT-X710 works perfectly with my 50" Samsung plasma. I think that what ever brad of TV one has you should get the same brand in a sound system or sounnd bar. Buy a optic audio cable and a HDMI cable to hook up the sound.
Therefore, if you need a home theater to lay flat in a standard AV cabinet then you must look for something else. If you want it to sit under your TV looking like it does in the image (as I do) then you should be fine. Lies. The main problem I have is that the box and advertising would seem to indicate that the central unit can be placed 'upright', as shown in this image, or laying flat like a more normal system. The sound is fine and I think the nontraditional look is cool. This is a good simple all-in-one stereo system, as mentioned by others. The unit does not switch from one input mode to the next very quickly, but that is a minor issue to me. The system is useless when laying flay; the DVD player makes a complete racket and you can't read the display on the unit.
Sounds good great bass much better than any TV sound. Great for bedroom or small living room.
Perhaps it is just my unit. I will give up on it as the sound still works fine, then all of a sudden (up to a day later) the dvd will just eject. I agree with other reviewers, it was easy to set up, it looks GREAT, I love the quality of the DVD pictures (or could that be my Samsung Touch of Color 42" TV which I love). The online troubleshooting gave instructions to remedy, but did not work. AND I do not want to pay $65 to ship back for service.The sound quality is adequate. There is probably nothing wrong with it, but as another reviewer said it is a starting place - better than TV speakers, but not much more. however there are some problems with the design and functioning. If you are wall mounting or putting it on a top shelf, this should not be an issue.The most frustrating part has been that after a few months and with increasing frequency, discs are freezing up in the player and will not eject.
It will work fine for a few hours or days and then repeat this nonsense. It should not even be called surround sound as there really isn't much of that.Overall, I still like it for how it looks and matches my TV, but am super frustrated with this quirk it has. I have had this system for about 5 months. First of all, because the DVD inserts vertically on the top of the unit, I could not center it on a shelf so it looked nice as it hit the next shelf above. I am rather tired of it.
Very easy to setup right out of the box. I compared this 2.1 product and a leading competitor's 2.1 system and quite frankly, the sound was as good if not better and at a significantly lower price.Samsung HT-X710 2.1 DVD/DivX HDMI/USB Home Cinema System (Set of Four, Black) Excellent product. If you have a Samsung TV and are looking for total compatibility, you cannot go wrong with this product.
