Summary: Stay away
Review: Digital input often produces loud static when you go from HDTV to normal TV. DVD won't alway play unless you unplug the unit and wait awhile before trying again. I just hoping there is a firmware upgrade someday. I have never been so unhappy with a major purchase.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I also have the audio/video sync issue (see above review)
Review: Seemed like a decent system overall for the money. However, I can NOT recommend this system as I also have an issue with audio not in sync with the video. I have ruled out my set top cable box as the source of the out-of-sync problem. This is an EXTREEMELY frustrating problem for an A/V system to have. The audio is ALWAYS several seconds behind the video on the screen. This is unacceptable and I refuse to recommend or purchase a Samsung system again.

Summary: don't waste your money on a Samsung HT-SK5
Review: The HT-SK5 is a lemon--don't buy it. Although the sound quality is great, the audio doesn't match the video when you're using a digital input, like digital HDTV. So, the lips don't match the words on any digital stations. It made it impossible to watch any HDTV programming, which essentially was why I bought it.

After 3 months of dealing with Samsung's poor technical support, including shipping the product back to Samsung, I learned from Samsung that they can't fix the problem, and they don't have a replacement product that would work better. The only thing more frustrating than the audio sync problem was Samsung's awful technical support. The staff was poorly educated about their own products, they never returned calls or e-mail like they promised, and seemed to have no concern for their customers. Don't waste your money--in fact, Samsung treated me so poorly, I can't recommend buying any Samsung products.

Summary: What a great deal. Klipsch Speakers compare to Bose
Review: There is no delay, as another review claimed. (Delay is adjustable, based on speaker placement) Excellent sound reproduction. This was a good deal at $500 plus. For $299, it is a steal. Klipsh Speakers are unbeatable, even by Bose standards.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Agree on the product, but LOVE the support
Review: Yes these particular set of speakers are not that great, sounds are shallow and lack depth that even $100 PC game system could deliver.

Like thousands other videophilles, I also am a proud owner of the 61" Samsung DLP. I must say, I (and thosands of others) seem to all agree that sammy's customer support are 5 out of 5 top notch and none better.

In this day and age, saying you will never buy samsung product is like saying you will never buy a
Porsche for that garage again because they couldn't fix your metro geo.
