Product Description:

Designed with a mind for affordability, a spirit of convenience, and an ear for quality sound, Samsung's HT-SK6 merges all the source components of a home theater into a single, easy-to-install package. The 500-watt system includes a five-disc progressive-scan DVD changer alongside a THX-certified Klipsch speaker system: four horn-loaded two-way satellites, a two-way center speaker, and a standalone subwoofer. Now you can enjoy classy home entertainment with minimal setup time right in your existing living space. With 80 watts per channel times five for the left, right, center, and left/right surround channels, you'll enjoy true home-theater power that's bolstered by 100 watts output for the passive subwoofer. The DVD player handles playback for standard DVD-Video, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3 CD--perfect for commercial and most homemade discs alike. You can even spin your Kodak Picture CDs and JPEG image discs, crafting (on your computer) custom slideshows to enjoy on your living-room television. The THX-certified Klipsch speakers supplied with the system maximize audio performance from 5.1 computer sound cards and DVD movies alike. The two-way satellite speakers include exclusive Klipsch MicroTractix horn tweeters that cleanly and accurately handle high frequencies. A 3-inch fiber-composite cone driver delivers smooth mid-bass sounds, and the magnetically shielded center channel uses the same Klipsch MicroTractix horn tweeter and 3-inch fiber-composite cone woofer as each satellite speaker, ensuring an ideal blend and seamless sound across the system. The center channel comes with rubber nonslip stabilizing feet, spring-clip wire terminals, and a rear-post adjustment for angle optimization. Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the HT-SK6's DVD player is ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. Interlaced component-video outputs help minimize digital and line-scan artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television. The HT-SK6's DVD player also performs 3:2 pulldown. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24-frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture. And did we mention the system's surround processing prowess? You'll enjoy enveloping audio decoding for both Dolby Digital and DTS/DTS ES 5.1-channel surround formats, as well as Dolby Pro-logic II, which converts two-channel audio tracks from any source into five-channel surround sound. The system offers additional connectivity in the form of one component-video and two composite-video AV inputs for your existing audio/video components, such as a VCR, cable box, or satellite receiver. Other features include an FM/AM tuner with 30 station presets, supplied FM and AM antennas, and a headphone jack for private listening. What's in the Box DVD player/surround receiver, four satellite speakers, a center-channel speaker, a passive subwoofer, a remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, nonslip stabilizing feet for the center speaker, FM and AM antennas, and all requisite cabling.

Comment: What a great deal. Klipsch Speakers compare to Bose Rating:
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.

Comment: Agree on the product, but LOVE the support Rating:
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.

Comment: don't waste your money on a Samsung HT-SK5 Rating:
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.
