I purchase this Samsung hw-c560 set a few day ago , which include the reciever , speaker , remote , ipod dock and cable . I hook it up to my Samsung Blu-Ray player with a Samsung 46 '' lcd . the good : - Center channel sound be not bad , very clear speech on movie . - include cable speaker be quite long , able to reach the back corner of the room . the Bad : - front l and r speaker and subwoofer bass can sound very `` boxy '' at time - play call of duty 4 on XBOX 360 be a huge disappointment . I expect the crisp and satisfying fidelity of bullet ping and ding , but the overall sound be mid\/bass heavy with muddy treble . what a waste of a awesome gaming experience . - the Audio Sound calibration -lrb- asc -rrb- device only make thing worse , and through calibrate my room make my rear speaker disturbingly loud , and the front speaker horridly quiet . - the ipod dock be counterintuitive , and completely unusable . have a party ? someone grab a ipod and say `` check out this song '' ? once the ipod be place into the dock , the iPod menu control be disabled , and you must navigate you library with you Samsung remote . in addition , once you have the remote in hand you navigate you song alphabetically , skip forward and backward to find you song . the display read 3 of 30,000 , 4 of 30,000 , etc. . seriously ? this make the ipod dock pointless , unusable , and be a inexcusable interface design flaw . - the Setup interface consist of one line of display text on the receiver unit . then to navigate the menu , you must refer to the print guide booklet to find you item in the menu of selection choice . alternatively , you can memorize the menu of selection choice , and blindly navigate the setup choice by hit up , DOWN , ENTER , RIGHT , RIGHT , ENTER ... and here we find yet another inexcusable design flaw . the Verdict : - if you have no interest in ever play you ipod through this system , and you do not mind bust out the guide booklet every time you want to fine-tune you speaker ... then sure , throw away $ 350ish on this mediocre hunk of plastic .
