Samsung HT-J4550K

Advantages: Reads almost everything. The amplifier does not make noise. Medium quality video pulls at least to HD. The remote breaks through in all directions, conveniently, no need to look for a spot of sight on the dvidishnik.

Disadvantages: The sound quality and volume is ideal for watching movies, but for music it clearly falls short. columns consist of one speaker (not 3-way), the buffer is rather weak. loud and quality music not to listen.

Comment: But in general I liked the device. If you are not a lover, then I definitely advise you to take. By the way, DLNA works fine, you need to connect the network cable as it is drawn in the book, and download and install the DLNA server on your computer.

Advantages: Decent look; Modern design; Excellent picture and sound quality; Support for various formats (including FLAC); Mixing channels in stereo; Listening to music from your smartphone via Bluetooth; Three-way acoustics; Easy setup.

Disadvantages: Glossy surface on which dust adheres; All speakers are connected via wires; DLNA function does not work (does not see the local network); Inconvenient menu.

Comment: This is my first home theater. After the speakers built into the TV - this is heaven and earth! Compare in the store with the 3D Soundbar LG. However, I chose this device because of the convenience of placing the speakers and a solid appearance. The loudspeaker volume is sufficient for a large room of 20 square meters. m, but the subwoofer could be made more powerful - at least 120 watts. The sound must be connected using a digital optical cable for the best sound, as well as to output sound from the TV (I have LG 47LA660V). The sound quality when watching a video is excellent, but when listening to music it is not very good. This is not the level, in general, not for music lovers! To play back a 2-channel source with a surround effect, select the "M-STEREO (Multi Stereo)" equalizer mode using the DSP / EQ button. You can select other equalizer modes. Experiment at your leisure! The DLNA function does not work (does not see the local network). Although the network self-diagnosis does not find problems. But for some reason, the cinema does not see the media server. I installed various programs (from LG, Samsung and third-party). Did not help! But my TV supports a local network, so this is not a problem.
