Samsung HT-DB600 5-Disc DVD Home Theater System description
The HT-DB600 combines all the source components of a home theater into one compact, appealing system, defining simplicity and convenience for people seeking a theatrical experience in their home. The five-disc HT-DB600 is a complete source for digital disc media like DVD-Video, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) CD, and Kodak Picture CD/JPEG CD. The speaker system offers 80 watts per channel to each of five satellites (left, center, right, and left/right surround), while the subwoofer packs an impressive 100 watts.

All major movie surround signals are decoded here and routed to their appropriate speakers: Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, and DTS 5.1-channel surround sound. The system includes an AM/FM radio tuner with 30 preset memory settings, and a headphone jack for private or late-night listening. Virtual headphone surround simulates movies' home-theater effects in your headphones (not included).

The system's progressive-scan component-video output prepares you for the future, with the ability to use the system in conjunction with a high-definition or HD-ready television. Smooth progressive-scan images are free from even the slightest hint of blurring or distortion, bringing new realism to DVD movies and other selections.

Samsung HT-DB600 5-Disc DVD Home Theater System Customer Reviews

♥♥♥♥♥

very heavy, quirky speaker settings menu

Yes, first the weight... why does it feel like it has a lead chassis inside? Really surprised me that it would be so heavy. Disc tray is only plastic, so that couldn't be the reason, so that leaves the amplifier transformers I guess.
I agree with a previous reviewer about the strong enough subwoofer and seemingly weaker satellites. Volume must be half (min>25>max) to be good for my small livingroom. And I expected a "powered" subwoofer that carried its own power supply/amplifier onboard. Although this is only my second HT I know the other had a passive SW and connects just like the HT-DB600 does (speaker wire only).
Speaker settings menu doesn't hold settings each time I go into it to make changes, so unless I'm doing something wrong then setting balance (or volume) is pointless. Something else amiss in the speakers menu is no Center icon in the Delay part, only has LS and RS show there, so I can't get that closest speaker to me to sound farther away. Not sure if this is a firmware issue, model/manual descrepency, or defect. What might point to it being a defect, of sorts, is how the test tone menu plays through the left front speaker in place of the center, as if there might be some internal problem. However, no problem is noticed during regular play.
Yet another possible problem is with DRC (dynamic range compression, or keeping volumes moderated). It might be making sound go out-of-synch. I'll know more about it as time goes on, so maybe I'll update my review here if I learn more or anything happens to change my mind about the average rating I gave.
All in all, if this home theater doesn't wreck any of my DVD or CD discs it seems a good system at the price I paid, which was about $177 after shipping. Good for people on a budget, like me, I believe, because the sound quality actually is good even if the volume must be rather high on the scale.
