Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a market leader and award-winning innovator in consumer electronics, today unveiled its next-generation Blu-ray Home Theater Systems; the HT-C6730W, which received a CES “Best of Innovations 2010” award, the HT-C7530W and the HT-C6500. All three models introduce a new retro, no-grill speaker design and Samsung’s newly-introduced immersive Crystal Amplifier Pro technology, which ensures accurate sound reproduction and minimal noise interference.

For the first time, Samsung’s Home Theater systems now have access to the upgraded Internet@TV service, featuring Samsung Apps. Samsung Apps provides an expanded, easy-to-navigate selection of content and applications from leading content providers and services including Accedo Broadband, AccuWeather.com, The Associated Press, Blockbuster, Fashion TV, Netflix, Picasa, Pandora, Rovi, Travel Channel, Twitter, USA TODAY, and Vudu. In addition, the HT-C6730W and HT-C6500 will have built-in WiFi connectivity while the HT-C7530W will support Wi-Fi through the included wireless dongle*.

All new models feature Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) connectivity for sharing content with other electronic devices on the network. The new Blu-ray Home Theater Systems, which perfectly complement Samsung’s 2010 HDTV lineup, will be on display at the Samsung booth #11026 during the International Consumer Electronics Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center, January 7 – 10, 2010.

“Samsung has always prided itself on delivering thoughtfully-designed immersive experiences to every type of home theater enthusiast,” said Sung-Ho Jun, Senior Vice President of Visual Display Division at Samsung Electronics. “This year we’re kicking it up a notch by greatly enhancing the systems’ audio quality and adding unprecedented connectivity, enabling consumers to access a diverse range of entertaining content.”
