Comments about SAMSUNG HTBD1250 Blu-Ray Home Theater System:
Really nice system. This is what HTIB is supposed to be, a one stop solution for your surround needs, while the sound is not the ULTIMATE room shaker, it provides a nice competent sound package. You not feel shortchanged. Unless your demands are excessive. Remember you get what you pay for. I primarily use it for TV watching, and it has enhanced my HDTV expereince. Particularly with the 5.1 TV shows.
Conversely, Samsungs CSR could care less that the IPod seems to not to want to work, they just keep referring me back to the manual. Now, I'm not really tech savvy, so it proves a bit frustrating, i'd like to get the Ipod working, but i bought it for the TV watching function, and that work it performs admirably.

Comments about SAMSUNG HTBD1250 Blu-Ray Home Theater System:
I almost didn't purchase this unit because of a negative review by someone who was looking for big sound from a small unit. However, I wanted:1- a BluRay player combo, 2- a unit that would interface with the Samsung LCD tv I had just purchased, 3- good sound for movies and TV, and 4- my wife doesn't like big speakers setting around our family room.
I was able to go the local electronics store and find this unit set up for display. I am not an audiophile so the sound was very good for me. We cranked it up pretty good and did not get distortion.
The hookup was straight foreward. I had no problems. My old tv had surround sound so I had already hard wired my speakers. I had to cut and solder the furnished speaker wires to RCA plugs due to Samsung's proprietory connectors. Fairly simple if you can solder. The setup menue gives way more choices than I need. It took some fiddling around to get everything set. I made one mistake and had a hard time figuring out what I had done. I was checking the operation of the VCR I had hooked up with a music video and set the SFE mode to "church". When I wanted to watch tv there was an echo. I finally found the problem. After I reset the SFE mode to "off" the sound was normal.
There are more options than I'll ever use. I tend to get things set where I want them and leave them alone. I don't have an ipod so I can't comment on that.
The BluRays are awesome and the DVDs are almost as good.
I connected to my local network and went on line just to verify everything was working but haven't subscribed to Netflix or Pandora. I'm waiting to see what the Blockbuster online program has to offer before I subscribe.

Slow software, the ipod hook-up ridicolously slow almost unusable, and the wifi connection/interface average at best. The speakers really suck, you can get better quality from [...], and on top of that there's no eq-function... but i guess that's what you get for buying HTIB... I should have guessed... very weak Samsung!
