Panasonic SC-HT75 CD Home Theater Compact Stereo System

Summary: This System Is Lame.
Review: A good friend of ours bought this set-up last week. Tomorrow
he's taking it back. Our 200 watt Koss C220 sounds much better,
and it's 125 bucks cheaper. Both were made in China, where else
could a system so cheap be made? Save your money and buy the Koss. If you want a real system, spend around five grand.

Summary: 6Months later...
Review: After 6 months of use I believe that this was a great value system. The comments posted about the MP3 limitations were right on. But overall it was well worth the money and I am very happy with it.

Summary: Great System from a Brand You Can Trust
Review: After doing a good amount of studying on different home theater packages, I finaly dicided to bring home the SC-HT75 because of my good luck with Panasonic products and I am very glad that I did. I have had the system for over a year and have had no problems with it what so ever. I have been using it daily and it performs great.
The 5 disc DVD player works nicely and I have played many CD's and DVD's and it has worked just fine and it never had any flaws. I tested other DVD players in the store and they all seemed to take awile to read a disc. This player loads quit quickely. The DVD player also plays DVD AUDIO disks which not to many systems can play. DVD AUDIO is a fairly new type of disc. These discs feature high resolution multichannel sound with a wide frequeny range. I do own a few of these discs and they sound amazing. The tuner also works well and you can preset 12 stations.
The sound is very clean and powerful. I recently found out that the reciever has an H+ class amplifier which is high end. The passive subwoofer runs at 170 watts in home theater mode and produces powerful deep bass for having a 6 and 3/4 inch woofer. The small plastic 1-way sattlite speakers are powerful and do sound nice for movies but are not the best for listening to music. I recently relaced the left and right main speakes. I dis connected the SB-AFC95's and hooked up two SB-PM11 2-way 6-ohm Panasonic speakers which are part of the SC-PM11 mini system. They fit in great with the other silver speakers There was an obvious increase in sound quality over the little speakers.
The main unit itself has a silver finish and a cool display. I do know what sounds good and what does not sound good. This is a high quality system and is better than most. I am totally, absolutely satisfied.

Summary: very nice:)
Review: i bought it at costco for 250 bucks...excellent sound, excellent picture. i have yet to have any of the rumored tech problems that are posted, and ive had it about 4 months. the downsides are the 45 seconds it takes to change the disc, lack of vidoe inlets, and inability to tune the radio on the remote to a non preset station. other then that, it is great:)

Summary: avoid this system
Review: i bought one of these (not from amazon.com), i should add) and a week out of warranty, it stopped playing DVDs. a few months later it stopped playing even CDs, rendering it completely useless. it's now nothing more than the most expensive radio i've ever bought. i've also found out that this is a common problem, so i'd avoid this system altogether if i were you.

Summary: impressive and not so impressive
Review: I bought this system for its good looks and great sound quality. This system sounds really good. I did some research "online" and found that techies(techTV)recommend this system for its overall performance. I agree with their judgement. If one has a reasonable sized room, this system is a must.
But there is a problem. I am big on mp3's and this system is not too good reading it. I am still trying to figure out the reason why it plays some mp3 loaded CD's and not others???
The remote for this system is horrible. Since I am good at adjusting to stupid designs and navigations, I will get used to it.
Overall, if you want to watch DVD's and play CD's, this is the system. Excellent sound and good Bass...nicely priced.

Summary: Think twice
Review: I bought this system over the weekend. It worked for a couple hours, then it started to freeze up. It wasn't able to read ANY dvd's or cd's, it wouldn't let me change the cd or even open it. Luckily after turning it off and on a few times I was able to get all of my cd's out. I assumed I had just gotten a "bad one" and went back and exchanged it for the same model, minutes after hooking it up I was having the exact same problems.

Summary: Awesome for the price!!
Review: I got this system more than a month back, and have used it extensively since. It works great for a small home theater system (I live in an apartment, so the sound is just great!!). May not work very well for large rooms, but I dont know. I have a 15x15 room,and the sound is just great.
It was extremely simple to set up too!!
Overall, great value for the money. Would recommend for anyone not looking for a high-end system, at the same time want home theater sound.

Summary: Good for the price, weak on MP3's
Review: I have had no trouble with the system, and think it sounds and works quite well for the price. I have had it for two weeks now. It does not reproduce deep bass well, but for this price, that would be a lot to ask. It also is not progressive scan and does not have component video out, though it does have s-video out. I would not complain about that as Panasonic is upfront that it is not progressive scan, and for this price, who could expect it? Two complaints; 1) It is weak on MP3 functionality. It does not have on screen folder and title selection for MP3 discs. So when I put my disc in with 12 folders and 125 songs, I have to select tracks by number only. 1, 2, 3, . . . 124, 125. There is nothing to tell me the song title or even what folder within the disc the song lives in. Also no shuffle play or song lists for songs on an audio cd. 2) It does not have adequate tone control. It has a nice digital reverb/sound field emulator, just no direct control of even bass and treble that I have found. Good value, that's it.
