For anyone who has a normal HD-ready LCD TV, Plasma or first generation LED, this is an excellent buy to turn accompany your TV. Not only is the sound amazing but you get the additional bonus of turning your TV into a SMART TV with all the available apps and the ability to browse the internet with its wireless capability. Well worth the price.

This review is from: Samsung HT-E5530 1000W Smart Home Cinema System with 5.1 Channel Tallboy Speakers and Built in Wi-Fi (New for 2012) (Electronics)

The system in itself is fine, the sound is great and the install was fairly easy once I have got the additional cables. Once again the connectors that Samsung supply with their kit are rubbish. When an installation manual starts by saying'Option 1- Connect to TV with HDMI cable- Preferred Option'(cable not included) and Option 2 Connect using supplied rubbish cable you start to think well why didn't you include the preferred option to start with. The answer is the cost of a decent 2 meter cable is upwards of £70, so this is an added cost as the cable supplied is rubbish. The second thing is if you want the sound from your TV going through the speakers you need a decent cable going from the TV to the Blu Ray and that's another £70 for a Digital Optical cable.
We have a a Samsung 46" LED and the same happened there. The dongle they supplied for wireless connection did not work well enough and I had to go buy another one. For a TV that cost a lot of money that's not good enough. And how come there are not user manuals with any Samsung kit. Is the idea to keep everyone in the dark.
The home cinema system though is good just be aware that it could cost another £150 to get it working properly.
BTW the TV is a bit of a nightmare no end of problems.

3.0 out of 5 stars Only plays through two speakers when playing a Sky box or any other box., 6 Dec 2012

I bought this to attach to my Sky box. It was only after setting it up that I discovered it only plays through two speakers when attached to an external device (....even though it was playing a 5.1 programme)
It defeated the whole object of buying it.

Ordered this item after previously owning a much earlier Samsung sound system, this one is far superior to the original (as you would expect) and the sound quality has come on leaps and bounds, overall a very good package.

After a bit of research, involving reading Amazon reviews, I decided to go for this version to match my Samsung smart tv. The notes below try to answer some of the queries I came accross (without finding definitive answers) while reasearching.

This model was available at various prices, and I couldn't work out the difference between them. I decided that this one was lower priced because it was without the ipod dock.

Very pleased when it arrived as first item unpacked was ipod dock. Therefore can't explain difference in prices!

Assembly very easy. Also bought wireless kit for rear speakers which worked first time with no effort. Set up not difficult and very pleased with sound. Interface software a bit confusing but got to grips ok after a bit of familiarisation. Joined the house wireless network without any difficulty.

Set up BBC i-player and love film without difficulty.

Would advise that the large speakers are intended for use as front speakers. Rear speakers are about 6" inches high.

All in all I'm very pleased with the quick and easy setup and the Performance. Also have a sony system and the sound is at least as good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Satisfactory but slow loading, 24 May 2012

I bought this product mainly for streaming films from the likes of Netflix. Initially I had difficulty in setting Netflix up ( still unsure if this was the products fault or netflixs) but after a few days it seemed to self correct and works perfect now. Would strongly recommend although loading times with both discs and Internet can be a tad slow hence the four stars.
