Does anyone have one of these? I fancied the HW-C470, as it's called, on amazon for £250 but that's out of stock, so I was drawn to the HW-450 range, but there's so many of them with near identical model numbers !

These are the ones I've found (on amazon, but obviously I'll search wider when I know what I'm looking for):
HW-C450 - out of stock, but well reviewed
HW-D450 - £205, no reviews
HW-D450/ZF - two seperate listings (?) £303 & £300, no reviews
HW-D450 perlschwarz (?) - £312, no reviews

As far as I can tell from the descriptions and research, there's no obvious difference between them, but surely there must be? Even more confusingly, when I google the model numbers, not all retailers use the C or D prefix, just calling it the HW-450. I can't compare like for like, so it's impossible to compare prices.

I realise this is quite obscure, but any info would be gratefully received.

Well Samsung themselves acknowledge the existence of the HW-D450 and the HW-C450. Not sure about the /ZF model?

If you go here

http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/do...ownloadMain.do

and click on "TV and AV" a pop up appears. Select "Home Cinema" as Product Type then "AV Receiver" as Subtype and you can download the manuals for both. To the untrained eye the only difference between the two is the C or D in the model number. They do look remarkably identical.

Brilliant, thanks for this. I searched via samsung.com/uk -> TV/ Audio Video -> Home Cinema and none of them are listed. They don't even show up if you search on the model number (unless you have to be very specific how you enter it) so great find.

I suspect they may no longer be part of the current range as they only appear in the Support section as far as I can see.
