foinecrewx from CA Member Since: Apr 2004 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 30 Days	One of the best budget HTiB system Strengths: HDMI in/out, Optical in, up convert 720p, 1080i, tower speakers, great sound Weaknesses: No AM radio Summary: The system sound SUPERB !! I am very satisfied with this Samsung HT-TQ85. Got it brand new for little under $400. Have to personally drove 20 miles to get it though but trust me its well worth it every penny. The DVD picture quality is great. I watch all my movies on the 1080i setting now. The sound quality is even better. Dolby Digital, DTS, PLII you name it all sound very clear. I can hear all the little sound details that I havnt noticed before on my old system. The only down fall is the FM radio doesnt have good antenna receptions compare to my Stereo system. Another thing I need to point out is this unit got all the inputs you need. I was thinking about getting the Panasonic SC-HT940 but later found out it doesn't even have the optical in so I turn to this one. Best choice I ever made. Thanks Cnet review !. I hooked up my PS2 via component with PLII sound, TV audio out via optical for dolby digital, DVD via HDMI for dd & dts and going to hook up my PS3 via the HDMI in. I especially like the 4 tower speakers looks. This system got it all. Thinking about getting the wireless receiver now. Trust me you wont regret it but good luck finding one though. 88% of People (7/8) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

ACAcosta from IL Member Since: Jan 2007 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 2 Days	A Must Buy! Strengths: Clear sound, booming bass and of course, the HDMI feature. Weaknesses: Thin speaker wire and setup is a bit involved. Summary: 2007-01-28 20:49:01 Bought this puppy yesterday for 380.00 and everything's excellent so far. Tested out the music feature and found that it responded like systems that are twice the price. I was comparing other systems like Sony DAVFX500 and LG LH-E9674. I will have to agree that overall features and sound quality, won me over and make this HTIB a must buy. 75% of People (3/4) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

folkmandu Member Since: Feb 2007 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 20 Days	Nice looking with average sound Strengths: Looks Weaknesses: Average sound with limited sound adjustment capabilities Summary: I bought this sound system to accompany my new Samsung plasma tv. The system looks great and matches the plasma well. However, I find the sound to be average with limited sound adjustment capabilities. The subwoofer is not powered and the system makes a humming sound ( DVD / CD turntable )that can be a bit annoying. If aesthetics with decent sound is what your looking for, this system is for you. If you want a more powerful sound, keep looking...By the way, Samsung systems do NOT play most copied DVDs. 67% of People (2/3) found this review helpful.

csandova Member Since: Dec 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 6 Months	BE CAREFUL, NOT AVAILABLE SPARE PARTS FOR THIS PRODUCT Strengths: None (I only can use it for 2 months) Weaknesses: Several operation problems and SAMSUNG doesn´t have the spare part required Summary: ASK FOR THE REAL GUARANTEE TERMS OF SAMSUNG’ PRODUCTS The service of Samsung’s guarantee forces to that a defective product enters three times to repair to a center on watch (more or less 30 days each time) before evaluating the product change. I bought the home theater HT-TQ85 six months ago and I only have been able to use it for three months because it had several operation problems and now, Samsung’s employees are still evaluating if they change the product although the required spare part is not available. In addition, the last answer was that I must wait for twenty days more so that an engineer authorizes the product change. It’s incredible that they haven’t available a spare part for a new product, or may be ¿ too many complaints finished them….?. I comment my experience with Samsung, and I suggest that ask for the real conditions of the guarantee, and the real availability of spare parts. Think twice before to buy a Samsung’s product and investigate which is the true customer service and the real guarantee terms, because we can’t pay almost US$700 to receive excuses time and time again. 60% of People (6/10) found this review helpful.
