"Works Great, easy set up!" by ebum1981 on cnet.com Dec 29, 2010

Great Job, very few problems by Joseph on amazon.com May 1, 2012
Although this product does not compare to top of the line Bose sound systems, you are going to get an absolutely fantastic sound. It's fairly simple to learn how to use all of the features;however, plan to spend at least 10 hours putting it together ...

"System going back" by readsl on cnet.com Jul 24, 2010
Required a major firmware upgrade right out of the box. As I couldn't connect (and was never able to) to the wireless router, this was accomplished via flashdrive. Never got the system to connect to the wireless router and yes, I too tried everything. ...

If you like crashing software and no support, buy this product by markascovel on amazon.com Apr 1, 2012
I have owned an HT-6500W (and Samsung 55" LCD TV) for about 6 months now. HUGE piece of junk. Watching Netflix or Hulu: system often (half of the time) simply hangs up - no buttons on the remote work except for power off - I have to turn it all back on, ...
 
Terrible Flaw by DRS on amazon.com Mar 13, 2012
Wish I could have my money back on this product. Every time you turn the TV off it will default to digital in. When you turn the TV back on you will have to scroll through through 4 settings to get to TV and many times it will default again to digital ...

Samsung HT-C6500 Review - Watch CNET's Video Review
A 5.1 home theater system with built-in Blu-ray player; two HDMI inputs; outstanding sound quality for a home-theater-in-a-box system at this price range;...No wireless rear speakers; requires a dongle for iPod connectivity, rather than a sleeker built-in design;...This year, Blu-ray HTIBs are filling in a lot of those holes and Samsung's HT-C6500 ($550 street price) is one of the most fully featured we've seen, including built-in Wi-Fi, two HDMI inputs, and...
