Customer Rating:      Summary: Samsung HTZ315R Comment: Have now had time to play with the system and I must say, that for an all in one system, the sound is excellent. The set-up is easy and with the wireless option (optional purchase) you get a tidy black sleek package. Agree with the first reviewer .... very in-fitting, purchased next to my PS3 :). The one drama I have at going to press is that I can't find a Region unlock code for it! I would be surprised if that is the case, as Samsung are renowned for having remote control hacks for 99.9 of their systems. Anyone finding a hack, drop me a email on steve.noble@fco.gov.uk.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent Product!! Comment: Having had the HT Z35R previously I can honestly say this really is a superior replacement model. 1000W is more than enough - so much so that when the sub wasn't wired in it was still very very good (want a job done properley, do it yourself it seems as I didn't notice for about 2 weeks, when I checked the spring terminal was on the insualtion, not the wire). I haven't had it at full volume yet as 40 is more than loud enough to upset next door!
The Bluetooth seemed like a bit of a gimic, but when I connected my Sony K850i i was impressed again. It was really easy to do and I was able to pause, stop and change track on my phone by using the DVD remote control whilst displaying my phones bluetooth name on the display.
The HDMI upscaled picture is very good on my 1080i Plasma and it plays DVD-R without any problems. I haven't tried DIVX yet, but I'm confident that it will work well.
Included in the manual are codes to programme the Samsung remote to work with most TV's, meaning that you could geet away with just the 1 remote.
The speakers are tallboy/ floor standing ones, however all (except the sub obviously) have key hole cut outs to allow wall mounting.
The DVD player itself looks really smart either on or off. When it is off it is completely black with the exception of the Samsung logo. When it is on the outside of the volume knob lights up blue as does the standby button. The control buttons on the face remain black all of the time.
My only negative points are the lack of audio input from the TV. To get the TV (and associated players, consoles) sound out of it you really need a Samsung Anynet+ TV (which I don't have). Alternatively get a 3.5mm stereo to RCA lead and plug it into AUX 2 and the headphone out on the TV. Then you have to mute the TV otherwise the sound is slightly out of sync. Not a massive problem, but one worth noting if you like to use it properley.
The optical in works well with Sky, shame the cheapest optical lead is over £10 and my TV doesn't do optical out.
The other negative point is the brightness of the display. It is hard to see in daylight if you're over 3m away, but it is OK at night.
Also for an expensive (ish) system I would have thought that a 3.5mm to 3.5mm lead to connect an MP3 player be included in the box- but it wasn't.
All in all I'm chuffed to little bits with it and would happily recommend it.
