    CNET Review

    May 15, 2009

    The Good: Multiple connection options including up to four HD sources; includes iPod dock for audio and video; works with third-party speakers; expandable to 7.1 configuration.

    The Bad: Video is pass-through only--no upconversion from analog to HDMI; illogical and sometimes confusing input system; display nearly impossible to read; finicky HDMI ports; confusing setup; subpar sound quality for the price.

    The Bottom Line: The Samsung HT-AS730's unimpressive sound quality, finicky HDMI ports, unreadable display, and tedious input system will have you looking elsewhere for a Blu-ray-ready home theater package.
