Customer Review: not recommend
DVD player is not good. couple of my friends had samsung dvd player everybody has same problem.
Customer Review: Fire hazard
My wife purchased this system for me last Christmas to go with my new Samsung plasma. After operating the system for approximately 3 months, one night it began sparking and smoking and almost caught fire. I sent the dvd unit to Samsung who, in turn, sent it to some third party for repair. Rather than replacing the unit, the repair company replaced some parts and sent the original unit back to me. The unit still reaks of burnt plastic smell. This may be an isolated incident, but beware and do not leave the unit turned on while away for your home. I have been satisfied with its operation otherwise.

Customer Review: Looks but no brains
Philips MCD288 Micro DVD Home Theater System with Subwoofer A very stylish system. It sounds good, but not great. If you plan to listen to it at low volumes there is a background hum that is quite annoying. At volume 4 and above, sounds really nice. Unfortunately, we bought it for our infant to listen to lullabies to get to sleep. We set it at 3 and there's a slight hum that annoys me. I'm sure my daughter won't mind, but if I had to do it over again I would not have purchased this one. There is no clock feature on this either.
Customer Review: fits for what is expected
Stylish, small, plays divx, complete in all functions Very good for small places. If you want a living room home theather don't buy this Fits for what is expected.I give 4 stars because divx subtitles have to be the same name of movie. I had to rename all my divx.movies and subtitles

Customer Review: DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT!
In the beginning I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread, color coded, easy to set up and a good starter HT System with ok sound. But that soon changed. Three or four months after I had the unit, CD's & DVD's wouldn't load. I would open/eject a few times and they would eventually load. But then it just stopped loading altogether and it would display "disk error". I called support and was told that it must be the quality of the CD or DVD. I was told to get a disk cleaner. I sent them the unit and now we are going back and forth that it's now not under warranty! This product is a LEMON! I wish I had seen all the other reviews out there telling of this major issue! Samsung should recall this product!
Customer Review: Nice, bit I have an issue
I agree with all the positive reviews here, the sounds is nice. I did notive an improvement in the picture with progressive scan with the component cables. I have a JVC 52" rear projection HDTV. However, there is a glitch in the progressive scan, I'm not sure how to describe it, but it seems to glitch/freeze/spaz for a split second. Not sure what is going on, might be the TV, but progressive scan works fine with my Gamecube.

Customer Review: Looks good .... BUT....
As with the other reviews, I bought it for it's design and wireless rear speakers feature, and it's a Sony, so it must be good! Ha! The CD/DVD player is in fact the worst I've ever seen, and I've had a few over the years. I would much rather have a single disk system that works well, instead of this 5 disk system that gets 'lost in space'... It's extremely s.l.o.w and frustrating to use. I've owned this unit for over a year and my wife still won't touch it, as she see's the frustration I go through everytime I use the CD/DVD player (or try to anyway). The sound is only middle of the road ... not worth what I paid. Sorry Sony ... never again, there's too many other units on the market !
Customer Review: Basically junk
I bought this system a year ago, a family gift for Xmas. Christmas Eve this year, it swallowed a rented DVD and wouldn't let it go until I attacked it with screwdrivers. Now it seems to work again, but I'm going to dump it in the trash anyway. Basically, it's a piece of junk: 1. The sound is like it's coming up from a pool of mud. 2. The DVD player is slo-o-o-ow, and the control over DVD playing poor. My $69 Toshiba DVD player is worlds better mechanically. 3. The whole system is made up of proprietary components, so if you decide on a new amp/receiver/DVD player, you're out of luck. The speakers have to go too. Maybe it's all for the best. Mine is out the door tomorrow morning. I'm only afraid this may be a discontinued model, and no one will have the chance to benefit from this opinion.
