Panasonic SC-HT07 Home Theater System

Summary: Stay away from Panasonic!
Review: Customer Service - the Panasonic website claims this is very important to them. I had my home theater only 3-4 months when a VCR tape got stuck. I has now been at the service center for almost 4 months! When I am lucky enough to get a response from Panasonic (which is rare), they make promises of completion and/or replacement. But promises won't play the DVD's my family would have liked to watch together over the holidays. When we finally got through to the customer service center on the phone, they had the nerve to hand up on us twice. IF YOU WANT A COMPANY TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS - STAY AWAY FROM PANASONIC!!! I have truly given up hope of even getting my home theater back from the Panasonic service center.

Summary: I've been waiting for someone to review this...
Review: I decided to buy it anyway. The SC-HT05 gets good reviews and it appears that Panasonic considers the SC-Ht07 in the same family because they share a manual. I have had this HTIB for 2 days now and I cannot find a problem with it. It has great clarity and volume. It is a much better option than the 05 if you are going to use stands since the speakers do not have the built in shelf stand. The set looks great. There are plenty of inputs, especially 2 optical and 1 coaxial audio. This HTIB will even do video switching if you use S-video or RCA cables. No flaws found yet. Great price for a set that includes stands.

Summary: What a system !!!!
Review: I waited for almost a month or two for reviews on this system and since this is basically the same as the SC-HT05 with just some improvements and since SC-HT05 had raving reviews everywhere, I dared to purchase this system and I am very very happy with my purchase.

Pro's: Breezy set up, speaker stands, very sleek design, looks incredible, sounds great (i have watched almost 20 DVD's), has enough output's/inputs (though doesnt have a component video), very affordable price tag.
Cons: As mentioned here b4, the speaker wires do not wind down the speaker stand as well as they should and so I had to reroute it along the borders of the carpet.

Just a very good system to pass up for anyone who already owns a good progressive scan DVD player. I bought it on Amazon and was delivered within 3 days !!!

If anyone has second thoughts of going for the SC-HT05 or SC-HT07, just think on how much you will eventually spend for speaker stands and you will get the answer !!!!

Summary: Out of many, this HTIB is the better choice!
Review: Pros: Good solid reviews and speaker stands included. Also great sounding for it's price. Plenty of audio inputs for its class.
Cons: The only drawback I had is I wanted to use better speaker wire, but couldn't thread through speaker stand base because wire was too thick and damaged speaker wire while putting together the stands. Made for smaller wire that came with unit.
This is the only reason I gave this system 4 stars.
Otherwise it is a 5 star system.
