Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this system hoping to streamline what small living space I had, and get rid of big, bulky speakers and other audio/video components.I was quite pleased with the sound this system produced.However, as I was considering upgrading to an HD DVD player, I quickly realized the pitfalls and limitations of this unit.
First, although this systems has wireless rear speakers, the sound they produce is not as strong as the front speakers.Also, the speaker wire it comes with limits how far apart they can be, and if you need more distance than the wire allots, then you have to splice the speaker wire it comes with yourself to increase the length since you cannot simply replace the wire provided with longer wire.Panasonic likes to make things proprietary.On that note, if any component gives out on this system, like the receiver for the rear wireless signal, or the DVD player, or the receiver itself, then you're stuck with a useless system and replacing pieces here and there is not as simple as if you had separate components to begin with.
Second, if you want to upgrade later, such as a high end DVD player, there is no optical audio connection in the back of the receiver, so you will not be able to get DTS or Dolby Surround sound when you watch movies using a different DVD player.When I looked into this more, it turns out that when you have wireless speakers, you already loose the true surround sound by not having a physical wire connection from the main receiver to the rear speakers.That's why they didn't bother to put in an optical audio input.I didn't realize that when I bought it.If you don't plan to upgrade, then you're fine.But why spend hundreds of dollars on a unit that already limits you to expanding in the future.You should use the money towards buying a true theater sound system.
As for the upconverting DVD player, I never thought the picture was as good as my old Panasonic upconverting DVD player.I played around with all the different video settings, and I was never satisfied.So I ended up using my old DVD player in the end.
Given that there is a movement towards HD television and HD DVD, I wouldn't recommend buying this system.Save your money, and use it to buy a real receiver and speakers.I think it is fine as a starter for young kids or for a dorm room, but not if you are the least bit of an audio or videophile.
In the end, I wound up returning the system and buying "real" speakers so to speak, using my bulky, yet perfectly fine Denon receiver.I am much happier now.
