5 Stars Excellent HTIB System
If you looking for a HTIB this System is great with it’s 1000w sounds comming through-out your room. Have a HDMI connection for the upconversion five disc DVD plaver, just awesome for the price. Exactly what I was looking for with the intergrated I-pod system and rear wireless speakers. Very stylish looking too. Can’t go wrong, trust me.

4 Stars Not bad for the price
Maybe the customer service is bad, but that’s no reason to give 1 or 2 stars. Their policies are always against the customer’s interests.

I really like the sound and the idea of the wired/wireless surround speakers. The DVD player could be better, but it’s not bad. Everything is good, but I haven’t tried it with an ipod yet.

Setting the whole system up wasn’t a problem, because i am somewhat used to it.

My only complaints so far are the unclear manual, not enough info on their website, and the subwoofer… it could be really loud if you live in an apartment, because it has three levels only (1/2/3).

5 Stars Great customer support
We wanted a simple system with a good reputation and wireless speakers. When we saw this one at our local club warehouse at $299, we had to get it. We needed 2 HDMI cables because we were connecting our TV, a satellite box, a PS3, and the Panasonic DVD player. We were able to get surround sound going except for the PS3. One call to Panasonic and we had an American helping us. My husband could not be happier for the price we paid.

I just purchased a panasonic DMP BD 35 blue ray player and a panasonic SC-PT956 Home theater system to go with my Samsung 52 inch 850 tv,I have read many negative reviews about the sound in the samsung 52 inch 850 tv, mine will arrive on the 9th of Feb. Am I wasting my money on this tv vs another model? Since I ordered it from Sears, I don’t know if they will exchange it for another model.

4 Stars Good Home Theater
This item is definitively worth the money you pay for it. Although it’s not top-of-the-line, the sound quality is good and the wireless speakers are very convenient. I would recommend this system to anyone who is not a hi-fi maniac, but still likes a good surround system.

5 Stars Very Pleased!
We have been extremely pleased with our home theater system. The surround sound adds a completely new dimension to our movie experience. From the rear speakers to the subwoofer and main speakers everything works better than expected.Panasonic has done a great job.

5 Stars Sounds Great
This Panasonic DVD home theater system is great. The sound is clear and beautiful. It was easy to install, as an addition to my HD Panasonic Television. The system arrived fast.

1 Star Feel Ripped Off!!!
WOW!!! I don’t know how to begin this review without saying how disappointed and ripped off I feel. First I would like to let all potential buyers know that this is a good looking system on the picture and in person except in person the subwoofer is one unfinished side that doesn’t allow you to turn it facing the room (super weird). Two days into receiving and setting up the equipment the DVD player displays a message “Chngr Err”, take note I’ve only played one DVD to set the system up and to try it out. It was only after I had this problem I went back to read more of the negative comments to discover others had the same exact problem I’m having (interesting). The seller claims the items are not re-furbished and are truly brand new. I think they are being dishonest and it’s going to come back and bite them. I’m just saddened by the co$t of this product, yet it’s so not the quality of product it should be. Let’s not talk about the DVD trays that are stacked instead of the usual carousal tray. The sound is O.K. and excellent for my apartment space as I don’t want to blow my neighbors out of the window.

I contacted the seller and still haven’t heard anything back to what I should do. I’m probably just going to send this system back, get a refund and spend the extra money on the Bose system which I know is excellent quality.

1 Star Disappointed customer
I bought this unit last Dec. when I purchased my wonderful Panasonic Plasma. However, I’m am not at all impressed with the Panasonic home theater system. The unit doesn’t have enough power to push the rear surround speakers – even when adjusted all the way up. You also can’t adjust power of front surround speakers, only the balance. The rear surround speakers aren’t completely remote. They have to be wired to the rear remote sensor, and the wire isn’t long enough to place the speakers well. Front speakers also not remote. The Remote control isn’t at all user friendly for the normal or inexperienced user. If you’re a/v savvy, it’s ok. This is my bedroom unit. I wouldn’t recommend this product for ANY room. This review is form an old granny complaining of not enough power. I can only imagine how a younger consumer would feel about it.
