Amazon.com Product Description
Geared for the 21st century, Panasonic's multidisc SC-HT820V offers high-quality audio and video from a system that's as compact as it is easy to assemble. All you need is a television and a living room--the SC-HT820V provides the 5-disc DVD and single VHS-tape playback, the surround-sound processing, the radio tuning, and the multichannel audio delivery.
The system pumps 370 low-distortion watts of total power through a specially matched six-speaker system (left, center, right, left and right surround, and low-frequency subwoofer). And its versatility with media playback--from DVD to VHS videocassettes, MP3/WMA CDs, and JPEG image CDs--means you're never far from your favorite movies, music, or digital photos. Topping it off, the system's DVD-Audio abilities offer super high-fidelity (192 kHz/24-bit) sound from specially formatted, music-oriented DVD-Audio discs. DVD-Audio offers super high-fidelity (192 kHz/24-bit) sound; DVD-Audio discs provide multichannel and stereo sound, incredible storage capacity, and unique bonus materials not available on regular audio CDs.
Your DVD movies will look and sound great through the system's 54 MHz/10-bit video decoder, Panasonic's video Depth Enhancer, progressive-scan video output (for use with high-definition and HD-ready televisions), and Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, and DTS discrete 5.1-channel surround decoding and rendering. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. This feature can only be appreciated on high-definition and HD-ready TVs.
The VCR's 4-head design ensures smooth slow-motion play (forward and reverse) and clear still-frame images, and with hi-fi sound the unit records and plays back stereo audio tracks. SAP audio receptions lets you listen to alternate-language tracks on select broadcast programming, and the unit boasts the ability to record in extra-long, 5x mode--just don't expect superior video quality at that setting. It also offers high-speed (600x) rewind--crucial when you're running late in returning videos!
The speaker set includes 4 wall-mountable bookshelf satellite speakers (front and rear left and right) powered by 30 watts each, a 110-watt center-channel speaker (critical for handling most of a movie's dialogue), and a powerful, 140-watt, subwoofer with a 6.5-inch driver, optimized for unobtrusive placement. All speakers are magnetically shielded to protect your TV from distortion induced by the speakers' magnetic fields. A digital-synthesized FM/AM tuner with 30 station presets (15 FM, 15 AM) lets you listen to your favorite radio stations.
What's in the Box
DVD player/receiver, 4 satellite speakers, 1 center-channel speaker, a powered subwoofer, a remote control, remote batteries, FM/AM antennas, a user's manual, an RF video cable, a composite-video cable, a system cable, a sheet of speaker-cable stickers, an antenna plug, an AC power cord, and all requisite speaker cabling.

Lasted ALMOST a year..........2006-10-16
I received this product in a raffle less than a year ago. At the time it was selling retail for $400US. It worked ok, except I could never get it to record VHS or play sound from the TV or cable box. The only time the audio worked was if you were playing something in the unit itself, like a DVD or VHS tape. Well, here we are barely 10 months later and the DVD player quit working. I went to the support area of Panasonic's website, to see if there was a service center nearby, and selected the model # from a drop down menu, and I get the message,"unable to locate a matching model #." I wouldn't recommend any Panasonic product to anyone. All they seem to care about is making the sale. They make it sound like you're getting more for your money, but the quality isn't built in, and there's poor support when your unit breaks. If I had paid US$400 for this unit, I'd be hot under the collar. That's my opinion.
Good Luck,
Brian Hart
nice but complicated.......2006-08-01
I like the sound and the unit looks good. I haven't figured out how to route the TV sound through the VCR. And when I put on a DVD, the sound is mostly from the rear speakers. Any help would be appreciated.
Great value for money!!!.......2006-03-21
I have one of that system 'a la' Panasonic and it is great from all points of view! I love it!
I saw some unsatisfied guys (about Panasonic) and i want to say something about that. I think they don't know that the best technologies in electronics are from Sony, Panasonic, Pioneer and other big japanese brands (trust me, my dad is working in a service center in Romania and i know the technological difference between a Panasonic amplifier system and a Jvc one, for example) . The faults about they're systems are because those systems are made in other countries than Japan (Korea, China, Usa...)and those countries are not so specialized like Japan, that is why most of them have problems. So don't blame Panasonic becouse some stupid american, german, romanian, korean... don't know nothing about do a great job for their customers !!!
bad customer support.......2006-03-16
You cannot get through to customer support over the phone no matter how long you stay on the line.
Instruction manual terrible.......2005-09-02
WE think the product is great. But the instructions are horrible. They are very high level and confusing. Calling tech support only resulted in a recommendation that the unit was broken and needed to be returned to the service center. Luckily I called a home theater company who spent two hours programming the unit and correcting a connection. My advice is that if you run into problems, spend the money for a professionl. It's very worth it.

This compact aporchromatic ultra telephoto zoom lens covers the range up to 500mm and it is ideal for taking sport, nature and landcape photographs. This lens uses one aspherical lens and three SLD glasses for excellent correction of chromatic aberration. Color aberration in the secondary spectrum is compensated by using three pieces of Special Low-Dispersion glass (SLD), and making high-quality images a reality throughout the entire zoom range.The five-group zoom and rear focus systems ensure high performance stability and ease of use.A removable tripod collar is included as a standard component.
Amazon.com Product Description
Sigma combined a five-lens-group zoom system with an aspherical lens element when they designed the 170-500mm f5-6.3 APO aspherical lens. This combination gives you sharp, high-contrast images throughout the entire zoom range. Its apochromatic lens design and three SLD glass elements help eliminate the vibrations usually found in ultra-telephoto lenses. Because the front lens group doesn't rotate, polarized filters are extremely easy to use. This lens also has a built-in rotary tripod mount to help keep the lens steady, reducing vibration during shutter release and keeping your images sharp and clear. This model is dedicated to Minolta AF SLR cameras.
