Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Samsung’s Virtual Surround delivers that sophisticated surround sound effect without the clutter of additional speakers and tangled wires. Utilizing just two stereo speakers, your ears will barely be able to distinguish Virtual Surround’s efficient, powerful 2.1 channel system from larger, more complex 5.1 and 7.1 channel systems.

Item arrived in two days rather than the week to ten days as advised, everythig was well packed. I put the batteries in the remote, plugged the woofer in and the optical link to the Tv, switched on and the linkup was immediate. sound quality was instantly noticeably clearer, all parts operated perfectly. I have absolutely no complaints about recommending this product. If I could I'd give it ten stars

I bought this sound system to complement Samsung UE46D5520 46-inch Widescreen Full HD 1080p 100Hz LED SMART Internet TV with Freeview HD - Charcoal Black and Samsung BD-C5900 3D Blu-ray Player Wifi Ready (Dongle Required).
It turned out to be a blessing because the sound of the Samsung TV is not that good and at low volumes it seems to wash in and out. This does not happen with the Airtrack.
The set-up was very easy, although we made it more difficult for ourselves by performing the (unnecessary) frequency 'matching' of the subwoofer to the main unit. Upon reading the instructions again we realised that this was only necessary in case of interference.
The various settings - drama, cinema, news, music, sports, game - are easily selected and the 3D mode does seem to add more body to the sound, so we always keep it toggled on. The subwoofer really kicks in when it's meant to, so especially if you are watching a movie on BluRay you will notice its presence.
The only word of warning I have for potential purchasers is that this unit will NOT allow you to play sound from an iPod; the external iPod wireless transmitter, which is listed in the instructions as 'optional', is impossible to source from anywhere except for one retailer in the US who does not ship to the UK. In the instructions it says "Although it appears on the input mode display, iPod connection is not possible with this model. It is only available with model HT-WDC10 (sold separately)". Well, sold separately is a matter of opinion as you can't buy it anywhere. We tried to plug in an iPod in every possible way but even via the Samsung's Smart TV the only feature of the iPod that you are able to visualise is the Photos folder.
Eventually, a friend suggested a way to circumnavigate the problem and suggested I bought Wireless PC to Stereo Audio Transmitter from the UK's main electronics retailer whose name begins with 'M'. Voila, I am now able to play all my music directly from my iMac and benefit from the amazing sound of the Samsung kit (on 'music' setting, of course).
All in all, I would say this is a great piece of kit but if there is an option to buy a model which includes some form of iPod/MP3 dock, go for that one if you think you might want to use this feature.

A very impressive piece of equipment. Sound technology is somewhat of a fine Art and the Boffins at Samsung do seem to know their 'stuff'
It comes in two main parts, the Sound Bar and the 'Wireless' Sub-Woofer. There are three ways of connecting it to a sound source: Fibre Optic cable, Phono (both supplied) and the option of plugging in a small Jack plug - perhaps for an MP3 player and/or other device.
I used the Fibre Optic cable and plugged it directly into the TV - not all TV's have this connection, however most do have the Phono type. The sound bar is plugged into a normal power socket and comes complete with its own remote control. The Sub-Woofer was discreetly placed behind the sofa and also plugged into the mains - as it is wireless there are, thankfully - no trailing cables!
The woofer is synced to the sound bar by pressing a small button (with an opened paper clip) for a few seconds until the connection is made. That is it! - the unit is now ready to Rock'n Roll :)
Turn on the Tv and the Sound Bar automatically turns on too, this is a configurable setting which can be adjusted by the Sound Bar Remote. Then choose the type of Sound you'd like to listen too, from Cinema, Music, Speech and more. There is also a 3D sound option! - I have no idea how it works but the phrase 'It's Behind You!' is very relevant. :)
My Word! When I turned it on the latest 'Transformer' movie was showing. Wow! The sound effects were mind blowingly realistic. Of course, sitting on the sofa (with the sub-woofer behind me) there was a fourth dimension = VIBRATION!!
THIS IS AN AMAZING PIECE OF KIT
There is one thing that you'll probably want to consider. If you have Sky the Sky Remote Control cannot be configured to adjust the volume on the Sound Bar, you will have to use the dedicated remote for this. However, if like me you don't like many remotes floating around; invest in an all-for-one remote, with a 'Learning' capability. This can be configured to control everything including the Sky Box, DVD, TV and Sound Bar.
In summary, if you like quality sound and appreciate the lack of trailing wires and speaker stands, then this is certainly one sound system to consider. It is awesome!
