Three and a half stars

I purchased my Samsung HT-P38 about four months ago, and I have to say I have been reasonably happy with it. The reason I give it less than a perfect score has more to do with the system not having things I was looking for than any major flaws with it. The reason I bought this was to have a surround-sound system in my room, which would mostly be used for playing video games, in addition to the occasional movie.My dismay is mainly due to my lack of research I did prior to purchasing it, so I will...

YOUR BEST BUY!

I picked up the Samsung HT-P38 System from Circuit City and do not regret purchasing it. After days of researching for different high-end home theatre systems, most of which are in the category of more bang for your buck. I found this 800W 5.1 Ch.

I ended up returning the second unit for a full...

OK at first, but returning it

I liked it when I first got it, but the more I use it the more flaws I notice.Apparently the way Samsung uses 100 watts per channel and how Yamaha or Pioneer use them are two totally different things.In a small living room I had to have the volume over halfway up (22 out of 40) to distinctly hear things.Thats just asking for an amplifier burn-out.To adjust any audio settings you have to go through an endless series of menus.Simple things like adjusting volume on the rear or subwoofer channels require...
