  Good sound quality for the money. Faulty product.

  by danster6 on January 21, 2012

  Pros: Good Sound when actually working.

  Cons: Has a major issue. Returned it once to panasonic. It is broken again.

  Summary: Good sound but not worth the frustration when you see "REQ" displayed and the system will not function at all. Happened twice.

  More bang for your buck.

  Pros: The Viera Link on this unit works seamlessly with my Panasonic Plasma via the HDMI hook up. I also hooked up a digital optical cable so all the sound from my TV goes through the theatre, including my XBOX. The sound is exceptional and every different so

  Cons: A lot of wires, but its not a wireless system. The bass leaves a little to be desired but it is a passive subwoofer and you can still feel it.

  Summary: Another quality product from Panasonic and I paid under $140 not including the cables, which you should not buy at a big box store for the same quality.

  Actually easy to set up.

  Pros: Compact. Great Sound for small speakers.

  Cons: The speaker connections on the unit itself. Once you hook up the speaker's wire to the main unit it is impossible to get it unhooked. I have had this two days, and needed to unhook two speakers that I had misrouted. No easy way. unhooked from speaker

  Summary: Other than the unhook problem (should be able to figure it out eventually), the manual leads a bit to be desired. I know ink / paper are costly, but small print ...

  Summary: Other than the unhook problem (should be able to figure it out eventually), the manual leads a bit to be desired. I know ink / paper are costly, but small print is dumb. Layout is not the greatest because, I think, they tried to save on paper. If I did not have some experience with stereos, etc., I would have been unhappy.

  I must "correct" my experience with this machine. I was not happy with the speaker connection to this device. There were no instructions on how to "release" the speaker wire connection from the back of the DVD Player and I, and others I saw on the 'net could not either- Tonight I figured it out. Using my thumb and forefinger, I was able to "rock" a idiotic clip (for the bass) out of its slot. I thought that one might have been loose, so I tried it with another. Just hold what you can of the clip at the top with your thumb and use your index finger on the bottom and and "rock" (maybe wiggle is a better word) it out of the slot.
  
  It is a bit on the odd side that this is no where in the manual.
  
  Another hit - though I might figure this out also - the bass (the last speaker I added) is terrible. There is not adjustment to be made. That I can find. Playing from TV through DVD to speakers allows adjustment but not at the DVD level. I unplugged the Bass from the DVD for now.

  Good quality for low price

  by orler7684 on November 21, 2010

  Pros: Easy to install, 5.1 surround sound is nice, easy set up feature

  Cons: Not enough speaker wire included had to buy more, lots of speaker wire bundled behind my t.v.

  Summary: Very good for the money. The pros far outweigh the cons. Under $220 for complete set up.
