The unique and stylish HT-P1200 delivers stunning near-high-definition DVD video and full surround sound for exciting home entertainment. Its sleek DVD player/receiver doesn't sit on a shelf like most components — it can be wall-mounted for a space-saving installation, or perched next to the TV using the included stand. The 5 surround sound speakers and subwoofer combine to produce wraparound audio effects from your DVDs, VHS tapes, TV shows, and video games.

The 'P1200's slimline DVD player can "upconvert" standard DVD signals, improving them to gorgeous, near-HD images. The upconverted signals can be sent to any one of the growing number of TVs with digital video inputs. These connections are known for providing impressive image quality — you'll see greater clarity and finer detail with every disc. And even if your TV doesn't have a digital video input, the 'P1200 has an array of analog video outputs so you can still enjoy crisp DVD playback.

This system places you right in the middle of the on-screen action with engaging surround sound. Its sleek floor-standing speakers, each driven by 130 watts, provide engaging home theater effects. And this system is a great choice for music lovers. You'll enjoy clean, high-resolution sound with stereo and multichannel Super Audio CDs (SACDs) and DVD-Audio discs. These music discs provide warmer, more detailed sound than regular CDs. Multichannel recordings use all 5 speakers and the subwoofer to produce an enveloping 360° soundstage.

    Features
    Speaker System
    Inputs and Outputs Notes
    Dimensions

    System Overview: The Samsung HT-P1200 includes a floor-standing/wall-mountable DVD/CD player/receiver with built-in decoders for Dolby Digital, DTS and Dolby Pro Logic II. The system includes 2 front floor-standing speakers, 2 surround floor-standing speakers, a matching center channel, and a powered subwoofer. The supplied remote controls the system, plus multiple brands of televisions. The system has a 1 year parts and labor warranty; 90 days for commercial use.

    Features

    HD Upconversion: The HT-P1200 has the ability to upconvert a standard DVD signal to HD-compatible 480p, 720p, or 1080i and pass it through the HDMI output; upconverted signals are not passed by the component video output.

    USB Host Plug & Play: The rear-panel USB port allows you to connect your computer or portable digital music player and enjoy your digital music collection through this system.

    Auto Sound Calibration: By setting the auto sound calibration function just once, you can have the unit automatically recognize the distance between speakers, levels between channels, and frequency characteristics to create a 5.1-channel sound field optimized for your environment.

    Audio D/A Converter: This unit includes an audio digital-to-analog converter capable of providing 192 kHz/24-bit and 96 kHz/24-bit resolution. The 192 kHz/24-bit and 96 kHz/24-bit capabilities of this unit allow it to play DVD Video discs with 96 kHz/24-bit audio tracks and DVD-Audio discs with sampling rates of 192 kHz.

    Progressive Scan: The HT-P1200 can output either interlaced or progressive scan video signals. Instead of splitting each video frame into two sequential fields like interlaced scanning, progressive scanning displays the entire frame in a single sweep. Where a standard DVD player's 480i output displays 30 frames (60 fields) per second, a progressive-scan player's 480p output displays 60 full frames per second. Progressive-scan picture quality is more film-like, with more fine detail and less flicker. To enjoy progressive-scan video signals, the connected TV must have component video inputs that support progressive video.

    Multi-Channel DVD-Audio Playback: DVD-Audio is a multi-channel format used for high resolution audio recording. This unit can decode and play DVD-Audio discs with a sampling rate up to 192 kHz with a 24-bit word length. 

    MP3/WMA Playback: The unit is compatible with CD-R discs with MP3 files recorded in ISO 9660 and Joliet formats only, with a recommended data rate of 128 Kbps or higher. It can recognize up to 500 tracks and 300 folders on a single CD. This unit can also play discs with WMA files, but no specifications are provided in the manual.

    JPEG Playback: The unit can play back CD-R discs with JPEG still image files recorded in ISO 9660 and Joliet formats. It can recognize up to 9,999 images on a single CD.

    DivX Playback: The unit can  play back discs with DivX files. DivX is a video file format developed by Microsoft and is based on MPEG4 compression technology to provide audio and video data over the Internet in real-time. MPEG4 is used for video encoding and MP3 for audio encoding so that you can watch a movie at near DVD-quality video and audio. Optional DivX software allows you to create and play your own DivX videos. Video-on-demand movies are also commercially available to buy or rent.

    Surround Modes: The HT-P1200 features 5.1-channel decoding for DVDs with Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks. It also incorporates DSP Modes for listening to 2-channel sources in realistic 5.1-channel surround sound. The following surround modes are available:

    Fast/Slow Playback: While playing back a DVD-Video disc, SACD, CD, or MP3 disc, you can increase the playback speed to 2x, 4x, 8x, or 32x normal speed in either direction. You can decrease the playback speed to 1/2x, 1/4x, 1/8x normal speed in either direction on a DVD-Video disc. On a CD or MP3 disc, sound is heard only at 2x speed.

    Zoom Function: During DVD-Video disc playback, you can zoom (screen enlarge) in at 1.5x, 2x, or 3x normal size. You can move the cursor in 4 directions to move to the area you want to enlarge.

    Parental Control: This unit allows you to set playback restrictions for discs using Parental Control. Parental Control allows you to restrict playback according to a predetermined level. You can select a parental control rating from 0-8, which is protected by a 4-digit password.

    Wallpaper: While watching a DVD-Video disc or JPEG CD, you can set an image you like as background wallpaper. In the menu, you can choose this user wallpaper or the original wallpaper (Samsung logo).

    Audio Settings: The audio menu allows you to set the following audio parameters:

    • Speaker Size: choose small when supplied speakers are used, or none when no speakers are installed
    • Speaker Delay Time: using distance calculations, you can set the amount of delay for the center and rear speakers

      • Speaker Levels: you can adjust the level of the center, surround, and subwoofer output
      • Front/Rear balance: you can adjust the balance of the front/rear speakers between 00 and -06 or Off

    FM Tuner: The HT-P1200 includes an FM tuner with automatic (preset and seek) and manual tuning. You can preset up to 15 FM stations. In an area with poor FM reception, you can switch from stereo to mono to improve reception.

    Sleep Timer: You can set the unit to shut itself off after a preset amount of time. The sleep timer can be set to 10, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120, or 150 minutes.

    Display Dimmer: The brightness of the unit's display can be adjusted to one of two settings. The settings include Dark and Bright.

    Wall-mountable DVD Player/Receiver: The DVD player/receiver can be mounted on the supplied stand or mounted to the wall using the supplied wall-mount bracket.

    Speaker System

    Powered Subwoofer: The powered subwoofer features a down-firing 8" woofer in a bass reflex enclosure.

    Front/Surround Speakers: The system come with floor-standing front and surround speakers. Each speaker has a set of spring clip terminals for use with the supplied speaker wire. Each enclosure is covered by a non-removable, black cloth grille.

    Note: The front/rear speakers must be removed from their stand before wall mounting.

    Video-shielding: The front speakers, surround speakers, and center channel speaker are video-shielded, allowing them to be placed near your television without causing picture distortion.
