There are several versions of the
Panasonic
home theater system available. Since Panasonic is such an
established
company, its products have been on the market for some time, so there
are lots of reviews available online. Here is what some consumers think
about some of Panasonic’s popular models.
Panasonic SC-PT1050 Theater System
– DVD Player, Radio Tuner, 5 Speakers and Subwoofer, 250
Watts – This system received a four-star review from a
self-described “techie.” It’s pros are
the iPod dock, Digital In, low price, good sound, and decent surround
sound effects.
The cons listed are cheap speaker wire, an
abundance of
shiny plastic, and “claustrophobic” surround
options. Setup is easy enough, but some strange button combinations are
necessary to calibrate the subwoofer. The reviewer notes that this is a
fine system for its price. This setup is available online for
$450-$600.
Panasonic SC-HT17 Theater System –
DVD Player, 5 Speakers and Subwoofer, 100 Watts – This system
retails for $500, although you can find it for less at several outlets.
It has received a five-star review, with no cons listed. Pros include
good sound and power, great value, and a stylish look for this
Panasonic home theater system.
Panasonic SC-HT940 Theater System
– DVD Player, 5 Speakers and Subwoofer, 190 Watt RMS
– This system has ten reviews that give it an average of four
stars.
Users appreciate its price (available for
under $400), wireless
surround speakers, Panasonic’s excellent technical support,
clear sound. The only big con listed really is a major one, however. It
seems that this unit sometimes offers a failure called an
“f61” that is not fixable and not covered under
warranty, so be sure to research this fully before purchasing this
system.
Panasonic SC-HT680 Theater System
– DVD Player, 5 Speakers and Subwoofer, 190 Watts –
The overall rating for this model is 4.5 stars out of five.
It’s well-liked and considered a
good deal. Users applaud its
easy user interface, performance, and the HDMI DVD Upconvert. The major
complaint seems to be in the tricky remote control and cheap speaker
wire.
These are only a few of the many Panasonic
home theater systems available. They seem to be well-received, and
there are many low-cost options available from this company.
