Samsung HT-J5550K

Advantages: Sound, power, remote control from the TV.

Disadvantages: No karaoke noise.

Comment: Microphones work only in the modes of reading disks and usb drives, singing through youtube smart karaoke or karaoke apps will not work! When you make a sound not loud, it is not a pleasant noise! - at first I thought that the center column was fonit, but it turned out that the cooling fan in the player was making noise. Otherwise, everything is fine.

Advantages: -Appearance
-Karaoke with 2 microphones
-Produces many formats
-Sound
- Something like Smart-TV ("type" - maybe it was expecting more)

Disadvantages: -Smart-TV is kind of weird. A couple of applications and YouTube. Maybe I have a weak idea of ​​him. For me, this is not critical, but I decided to write
-Lack of AUX input (not critical)
-Karaoke is played only from the media (USB, CD / DVD). Through the built-in YouTube microphone does not work
- In karaoke, an assessment is made only if a karaoke disc is loaded.
-Short wires

Comment: I am very pleased with the model. Due to its compact size, it successfully fit into the interior. Sound satisfied at all 100%. Compared with LG and SONY. All in one price segment. At Samsung, the sound was much better. It was a little disappointing that karaoke is evaluated only when playing a disc (that is, if you downloaded a song from somewhere on a flash drive, sang it, there will be no evaluation). In principle, this is not critical. I read that the microphone is playing quietly - if you set all the microphone settings to maximum (except for echo), then the volume is enough for the eyes! Smart-TV seems to have something in it, but I didn’t really understand it, so there’s very little I can write about it. You can watch videos and movies from YouTube without any problems. Opera disappeared after the update. A huge minus - the wires. The wire was not enough to the farthest column - I had to extend it. I was surprised that the room is not big. In general, I am satisfied with the d / c - I fully met the expectations and even more! When watching movies in high quality - 5.1 makes itself felt! Bass, circular sounds ...

Advantages: Full set for cheap. This model is enough for a room up to 20 m2 for comfortable watching movies. Games through spdif please with sound 5.1

Disadvantages: Describe the minuses in the recall.

Comment: My selection criteria were: firm, year of release, functionality. Since I already had a smart TV at home from Samsung in 2013, I decided to take a home theater of the same company for normal operation of the BD Wise proprietary function. Of the more modern models, in Mvideo sell only this - 2015 release.The second important aspect is why this model is exactly - it has the ability to reproduce sound from TV through the acoustics of a cinema through an hdmi cable. This chip should also be supported by the telecom itself, so that it can not only receive sound from the hdmi from the source, but also send it back to the source via the same cable. On my TV set in this mode only one connector works and it is labeled as HDMI-ARC. In terms of functionality, which is not specified in the description - the WiFi network is only at 2.4 GHz, no 5 GHz is here, although it was calculated based on the fact that the cinema model is not the oldest. For comparison, on TV from 2013 there is support for WiFi 5GHz. The wired card is only 100 Mbit / s (not 1000Mbit / s), which is strange for a modern multimedia system that needs to pass a huge bitrate over the network. The main disadvantage is that the attentive person is already in the store - these are fake holes for speakers in acoustics. In all columns, 1 large speaker is installed - the second large hole has no speaker. The second disadvantage is that the complete player is also an amplifier. From the point of view of the amplifier, there are no questions, but from the point of view of the player, there are questions. Very strong background with volume turned off to zero. Well heard in the modes FM, audio player. This is a trivial tip because of the poor screen version of the wifi module. If you connect the system with a cable to the network, then the tip almost completely disappears. Well, the last thing that turned out, if the option is set to return the sound via hdmi, the signal through the spdif connector is not played. Those. If you want to play on any modern console with 5.1 sound, then connecting the console to this home theater via spdif, suddenly, you will not get 5.1 sound until you go into the settings and turn off the hdmi sound return function. Why this was done is not clear. At random he found this solution. Well, the last cherry on the cake)) I personally do not interfere with life, but it was not pleasant. Almost 90% of entertainment video content from the official built-in Opera-store in the Russian Federation is blocked by Roskomnadzor.

Advantages: + HDMI ARC (yes it is! Even though it is on the connector itself and is not written, it is and I have no problems working with LG TV)
+ built-in wi-fi
+ bluetooth
+ sound
+ bass
+ stylish design
+ wire length
+ karaoke
+ eq setting

Disadvantages: - no microphone included
- no karaoke disc included
- not included 3D glasses
- Opera TV Store
- bluetooth connection without a password and any confirmation from the DC

Comment: From the beginning, I went to buy a LG LHB755 DK, but having served it in a store, it was not the first time that LG had overestimated the bar of its possible technology, the total power of the speakers was 1200 W and played worse than this model, therefore I immediately stopped my choice on this models. Why cinema and not hi fi system? I wanted to have karaoke, so I read for a very long time, because I wanted to bring the sound from the TV to the DC, and I have a TV, I’ve got LG, I didn’t want to connect through the optical output, I didn’t want to connect via HDMI, I have HDMI on the TV ARC, and here on the connector of this inscription is not, although it is written on the official website of Samsung that it supports, the store consultant also misled that, but having trusted the information from the official site, I still bought this DC and after HDMI ARC everything worked out for me after updating the firmware on DK, even everything from the TV remote It works, but for what I wanted the sound of a TV on a DC, this is to turn on youtube and sing karaoke through a smart TV on LG, but to my great regret, the microphone starts to work only in DVD / Blu-ray / USB mode
Opera TV Store I do not understand why it is at all, there are no karaoke apps either, not even for money
In general, the sound is good, the subwoofer also sounds good, it is provided that I haven’t been picking sound settings yet, and the setting is extensive, 5.1 super, at first I even turned around when something happens in a movie in the background.
It is convenient to listen to music via bluetooth, it's a pity that there is no password and even a neighbor can connect to your DC (if bluetooth is of course enabled)
As I wrote above, the DC supports HDMI ARC and works seamlessly with LG TV
In general, I am pleased with the purchase, except for the situation with karaoke, maybe if anyone knows how to help me, be sure to write
