Rating: - Great unit for the price
The sound from this unit is more than I could have hoped for. As of yet I'm not using the rear speakers because of the location but when we replace the carpet we are going for the full 7.1 sound. I'm more than happy with this equipment.
Rating: - Not happy!!
I ordered the Samsung HT-AS720 on October 11, my credit card was charged on October 13, and it arrived on October 17. I spent several hours on the 18th setting it up, running wires to the speakers and connecting it to my HD cable box, Bluray player and HD TV. The AV receiver was dead as soon as I tried to turn it on, just like a previous poster on this board stated. I called Amazon and they are sending me a replacement but it will not arrive until Nov. 20-Dec. 9. So, I am charged for the system two months before I have a working unit (and that's assuming the replacement works!!)

Rating: - The sound is awesome. Functionality...that's a different story
I upgraded from an older Kenwood surround sound system to the Samsung HT-AS720S, and I must say the sound is awesome. I was blown away by the full HD surround sound. It's louder, crisp and clear. I can hear so much more than I did with my older system. The subwoofer can put out some serious bass. If the system is set-up correctly you will enjoy theater quality sound right in your home.
Functionality is a different bag. I currently have my PS3 and Xbox connected to the system. For the most part it works just fine, but every once in a while I have to shut-off the receiver and turn ... Read More
Rating: - Theater Sound at home
Pros: Just got the Samsung AS720 Home Theater and let me say how impress that I am with the sound. It does liven the movie experience. The subwoofer right out of the box is heavy...and after listening to it...you can feel some heavy bass and thunder. Am surprised that its only 650 W but seriously do you need anything higher at home or the neighbors will call 911.
Cons: the receiver is unnecessarily large...so i had a hard time fitting it into my glass tv stand...so I had to make some space sacrafices.
Final Verdict: Delightfully pleased with theater home sound!
Rating: - Great unit. Mine arrived DOA
When I received my HT-AS720, it wouldn't even turn on. As I started to closely inspect the unit, I discovered that the main 110v power connector inside of the unit wasn't connected to the power supply. I guess the connector was probably not fully seated and dislodged itself sometime during shipment. Samsung quality control wasn't very effective for this unit.
Anyway, the unit works great and I have no complaints. It has very high quality channel amplifiers and the 4 full-range speakers sound very nice too. The sub also sounds great and appears to be high quality.
