Canadian Corporate Information

After only a decade of growth since first entering the Canadian market in 1987, Samsung Canada, headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, has emerged as the market leader. We are growing in Canada by about 20% per year and continue to build a strong presence in every market we enter. Operating as part of Samsung's Americas group, our Canadian operations gain considerable competitive advantage from Samsung's local Americas R&D, manufacturing, and technical support. Samsung Electronics in Canada focuses on consumer electronics and information systems products. Consumer electronics began in Canada in 1987, followed by IS in 1992. The information sales division has grown 61% since 1992. Samsung has introduced a wide range of IS products into the Canadian market, which include hard disk drives, CD-ROM drives, printers, fax machines and monitors enforcing its leading market position and fast year-over-year growth with a strong local presence and reseller network to serve Canadian consumers from coast to coast. Samsung is building a strong presence in Canada as it has all over the world.

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

Boasting that you had a home theater system about 5-10 years ago would not be the same if you said so today. In the past, a home theater system was made out of an amazing amount of hardware that all served a specific separate purpose. This would entail a CD player, a DVD player, a radio tuner, a single/dual cassette deck and a VCR (beta/VHS) which all would connect to the entertainment hub which would be called your amplifier/receiver. In today's advanced market, if you shed the older technology such as the cassette deck and the VCR, all of these components can be nicely packaged into one single unit. Not only does this save the consumer space, but also a staggering amount of money. When you figure in the savings of not having to buy a entertainment center and/or five or six separate units, you can easily save 50% or even more. Gone are the days of having a bouquet of remote controls sitting on your coffee table and degree in electronic logistics just to watch a movie.

Today I will be reviewing one of the two all in one home theater systems that Samsung has released on the market in 2003. Let's see how well it does.
