The Samsung HT-TZ512T is a feature-packed home theater system that critics and users say is a good choice as long as your room is not overly large. Pluses include a good five-disc DVD changer that can upscale to 1080p resolution and wireless rear surround speakers, which eliminates the long room-spanning runs of speaker wire that some other surround-sound systems require. Movie sound is good, and music performance is better, but trouble can set in when viewing action-packed blockbusters at high volume levels. A USB host feature lets you play a variety of media types via that connection, including WMV (Windows) movie clips.

This single-product review puts the Samsung HT-TZ512T through its paces. Reviewer Jeff Bakalar says the Samsung system is a good entry-level pick. The rear speakers are a plus, and setup is very easy. However, the system lacked oomph for action scenes.

There are just under 20 user reviews here for this Samsung home theater system, and user satisfaction is high. Even the reviewer who gives the HT-TZ512T its lowest rating (three out of five stars) says sound quality is great; the issue is with a troublesome wireless speaker link.
