  • "Difficult to set up --- may have design defect"
    2.5 stars
    on by Tinkerer2

    Pros: Advertised to be easily integrated with Samsung TVs, which are currently top-rated.
    Relatively easy to connect.

    Cons: Difficult to set up the advertised Anynet+ feature.
    It appears that the HT-AS730S resets to FM function whenever it is turned off --- have to click several remote control buttons in order to start watching TV whenever it is turned on.

    Summary: It may be that the problem is some kind of set up, but so far I cannot get this unit to "remember" its settings from when it was turned off last time. For instance, if it is turned off after TV watching, when turned on again it will be in FM MOVIE mode. Turning it on again requires pushing the "SAT" button in the remote control, and then push the "Input Mode" button twice to get to the correct input. This is annoying. I would appreciate some help from Samsung on this as I am considering returning the whole system because of this annoying "design feature".

    I work for a retail store as well and I hear a lot about this product from installers. If this product is anything like last years model it has a lot of defects including about 50% of them having speaker channels that never work. As much as I like Samsung products; If you're looking for an HTIB with good sound and works well, go with the Yamaha.

    I happen to be an employee at best buy and there was actually a recall because of this. We had to send our product back so that they could fix the error, I would get in contact with the manufacturer and ask them about the recall.

    I am having the same problem with my HT-AS730S returning to FM MOVIE mode after being powered on. I didn't have any luck with the Samsung technical support. On of the reps I spoke to reccommended I send it in for repairs, but I don't think he fully grasped the problem. Considering the difficulty I had setting it up, I really don't want to disconnect it and send it in. Did you have any luck?
