Reviews of the Samsung HT-TZ512T

CNET Review
The Good: All-in-one home theater system with five-disc DVD/CD changer, wireless rear speakers, and iPod dock; strong digital media playback includes DivX, MP3, WMA, WMV, JPEG files; 5.1 surround-sound system sounds good with movies, better with music.
The Bad: Dearth of AV inputs limits expansion options for other sources; wireless rear speakers not truly wireless; no iPod video playback.
The Bottom Line: The Samsung HT-TZ512T's wireless rear speakers, five-disc changer, and impressive digital media support make it a solid choice for basic home theater duties.
