I got this system for my small room on offerup for $80 and had it in it's stock natural form for about 5 months or so and it sounded 8/10. Very loud although the quality faltered a bit after about vol 37. Great for movies and ok for music. Eventually my left front speaker broke which led me to splicing in two bookshelf speakers I had for the fronts and a cheap 12" sub in a ported box. After some playing around with the eq and positioning tweaks; it sounds absolutely phenomenal even with the factory surrounds and underpowered sub. I never realized how the stock speakers lack so much midrange. These speakers are meant to be placed exactly how the instructions say for the best performance.

only front channels work at any time, although all 6 test fine. manual says if the source is not 5.1 Dolby Blu-Ray only front channels will amplify. pure waste of money!!!

This product has amazing sound, giving great crisp and loud feedback when watching anything from a tv show to movies. It'll make you think that characters are speaking in the same room as you.

Dec, 2014 I purchased a Samsung 55" 4K Curved TV and this Samsung home theater system. The whole reason I purchased the sound system was so that it would work well with the TV. At first it seemed to work seamless. Whenever I turned on the TV the sound system would also turn on. It seems after an update the sound system only turns on if I am using it for a DVD. Also, loud scenes are especially loud to contrast against quiet talking scenes that you can barely hear. During a movie I have to continually play a game of turning the volume up, and down. Rear speakers only turn on when volume is above 22 sometimes 24 or during loud scenes. The subwoofer is barely audible. The blueray player also seems to have an under powered processor. Navigating a DVD using the remote takes about 8 seconds for each action from the remote to register with the player and make a change. If you are going to go through the trouble of installing a nice home theater system my recommendation would be to keep looking for another product. You may have to spend more money but it would be worth the wait for better quality.

This system sounds pretty good and it was a great price for a Blu -Ray Player . I would recommend this product for anybody who's looking to add that theatre feeling to your movie night with the family.

Only good for watching surround sound movies.

The Samsung HT-J4100 produces sound that lacks in quality when listening to music. The sub-woofer is acceptable, but the other speakers sound like they distort with full input volume setting the receiver volume above 14 and it goes to level 50. Admittedly, with full input volume at level 13 is enough to fill a 200 square foot room with sound loud enough to be happy on an average listening basis, but if it gets louder, the sound quality just is not there. Also, the wires that come with the speakers, that you can not change without voiding the warranty, are too short to hide behind a wall and place the speaker to the right of or behind where you will be watching TV. The equalizer has only 6 frequency settings you can adjust. Additionally, the unit will use only "the front speakers" (the two front speakers and the sub-woofer) when you try to listen to anything but a movie that has 5.1 (or higher) surround sound unless you choose the "Master Stereo" equalizer which will result in no frequency volume adjustment to the input source which takes away your ability to raise the bass above the treble or vice versa.
When watching a movie, the sound system is actually much better for some reason. However, all it can do is play movies, display pictures, or play music on a disc or USB drive. It does have the ability to receive local radio broadcasts if that interests you, but considering that you got this product, it should be reasonable to assume you would want more control over the songs you listen too than what comes over the airwaves. It does not have any networking ability, so it will not be able to have any apps such as Netflix.
In summary, if all you intend to do with this is watch 5.1 (or better) surround sound movies on disc or USB without caring if the wires are under your rug, then this is a good product for you. If you plan on using it primarily to listen to music, or if you want the wires completely out of site (from my experience most women do), get something else.

Excellent performance from an exceptionally value priced system. Set up was extremely easy and efficient, all wires color-coded for goof-proof installation. Overall, a great performing system.

This system has 1000 watts of total power. I couldn't wait to test it out. When I tested it out, I was surprised. Excellent sound. Although there was no bluetooth technology on this particular one, I liked it. Work well with my LG Smart TV. Over all I am satisfied with this Samsung product. I like Samsung products and this Blu-ray player did not let me down.

I've purchased two of these within the last two years, one only lasted a year my latest one only eight months. Why did I buy a second one, because I love everything about this player except for it's reliability and never expected it to develop the same problem as the first player..
