Samsung HTX30R home cinema system with optical in - £129.93


£129.93

175°

FOUND BY: davedixson 2 years, 1 week ago

Samsung htx30r home cinema system - cheapest I have seen elsewhere is £150. Includes a DVD player with HDMI out with 5.1 surround speakers and an optical in, allowing you to plug in external sources such as an XBox 360/ps3 etc.

Funny thnig is the site has it named as a HTX30RAB (which does not exist as far as I can tell), and the specs listed do not quite match those of the htx30, but I took a chance and ordered it and much to my relief found it is the HTX30R.

Came in a couple of days.

The wireless unit is an optional extra - out of the box it is wired.

I have got one of these and it is excellent. It also has a built in tuner. Great paired up with my Samsung 50" plasma and can share the same remote control.

I am looking for a speaker system/cinema system that works well with Bravia TV's that does not need wiring of rear speakers or wireless. Anyone know of a good system that uses bouncing of walls for surround sound?

Sound quality is excellent, and it really looks and feels a lot more expensive than it is. Only downside is that it has not got more inputs (2 optical would have been nice).

nice price and the inclusion of optical input is a very good thing .. just bought a hd-dvd player .. was looking for a cheap way to get the sound connected to it ... and this could be it.. a spare dvd player is handy as well lol ( got 3 in one room ) .

Don't forget 2.75% quidco (works out at £3.57) - I know its not much, but as the ad says every little helps

only 1 optical input is a big let down (my PS3 / TV both have optical output).

why would u need an optical output on a tv unless u got sky-hd then it wont do proper surround... just use the phono connections
