Home theater in a box with integrated AV receiver/five-disc DVD changer; HDMI output with upscaling to up to 1080i; single HDMI input to connect a high-def source; stylish design with small speakers; XM-ready.

Sounds better with movies than with music; no automatic speaker calibration; can't browse iPod with onscreen menus; no analog video inputs

The Samsung HT-X70 is stylish and has a great feature set for the price, but it sounds better on movies than with music.

Performs as advertised. It upscales nicely, changes discs quickly enough and produces rich sound that will more than fill the average users home impressively

No cons as I knew what to expect before purchasing and wasn't disappointed by any unexpected surprises. READ EVERYTHING you can find and if possible, try out any product before purchasing!!! That usually helps more than anything in avoiding disappointment

System sounds excellent. No distortion. Speakers will automatically adjust for surround sound and back depending on what you're watching. Upscaling on the DVD player is great. HDMI in and out ports. Wires included are plenty long. Wireless support

The unit itself is very long, it may not fit in some entertainment centers

Upconversion is pretty good, 5 disc changer, decent sound, can play files from a USB drive. Supports HDMI and audio input for some surround sound from the TV. Also supports optical. Cables included were long and were color-coded so I don't need to run...

DVD's take a bit longer to read but not a big deal. However, IT DOES NOT SUPPORT IPODS AND MOST OTHER MP3 PLAYERS! My system came with an iPod cable but what's the use? I only get a USB ERROR when I plug in my iPod. Speakers also easily tilt over but...

great sound in theatre mode and now in music as well

only one HDMI input, get your reading glasses to see the writing on the remote
