Although inexpensive home theater systems usually don't deliver the goods, reports say that the Samsung HT-TZ310T pleases users with its blend of performance and features. This is not the home theater in a box you want for blasting Hollywood blockbusters in a large space, but as long as you keep volume levels moderate, it should do a good job in a small to mid-size living room. Features are nice considering the price, and include an upscaling (to 1080p) DVD player. The HT-TZ310T is wireless speaker ready, but the included speakers can't take advantage of that. A USB port, great digital file compatibility and an iPod dock are other nice extras.
Although professional reviewers have not weighed in on the Samsung HT-Z310T, we found a lot of feedback at user review sites. For example, there are nearly 40 reviews at Amazon.com.

Amazon.com shoppers don't rate the Samsung HT-Z310T as highly as owners at other sites, but there are fewer reviews here. The most noteworthy complaint is about poor DVD upconversion. Still, most are happy.
