Outdated at this point.......2006-05-30
This is just a small forwarning for anyone thinking of buying this. Take note that the unit only has one audio input. Now this may be fine if you happen to actually own a TV with a main audio out option (I for one own 3 televisions, one of which is only a month old, none of which have this). Basically what this means is that if you have several items hooked to your TV (PS2, Xbox, Xbox360, VCR, Satelite or Cable box etc etc) you will need to hook and unhook each item as needed to have them in surround sound.
This is a disapointment as I was trying to upgrade from my current Kenwood system which has 5 audio/video + 1 audio only input/outputs. The reason for the upgrade is my new HDTV, which brings me to my other disapointment for this system.
Although it does have component output(ie red, blue, green), it only outputs at 480i/480p. If you have a HDTV capable of 720p/1080i this will likely not be suffient for you.
You'll have to take the other reviewers words on sound quality etc, I never got as far as to actually hook it up after looking at the back of the system, reading the manual etc. Just felt the need to write this as I only purchased it based on it's good user reviews :)
BEST SYSTEM FOR THE MONEY I EVER HAD........2005-10-04
READ A FEW REVIEWS THE OTHER DAY ON THIS UNIT. SO I WENT OUT TODAY AND PICKED ONE UP AT WALL MART FOR $249.00. Comes with 2 speaker stands. Stands are to be used for the front but i fitted them to the back and wall mounted the fronts. When i powered it up i was blown away by the sound quality and clarity. I never heard my music sound so good and never heard all those extra instruments in the background. What a super deal this was. It does everything it is designed to do. Looks great. No cons. And when i put a dvd movie in==WOW i thought i was in the theatre. I recommend this highly. Plenty of power and base. Plenty of everything. It does what its designed to do blow you away. Get one you wont be sorry.
You saved a maariage.......2005-09-27
Since my wife has never liked the original surround sound, we owned---"too much like trying to fly a space shuttle"---I have been looking for an alternative to in home movie viewing. Boy, did this thing fill the bill, Delivery was incredible, three days. Iinstallation was a snap. All that`s needed is the ability to walk and chew gum at the same time and READ directions. The sound is great---the picture superb and "She Who Must Be Obeyed" is pleased. The easthetics are smart and fit into the room as well. Thanks for saving me a bunch of money and affording us future years of enjoyment.
Great system on a budget.......2005-08-25
The below poster obviously never read the manual or is just naturally ignorant. All you needed to do was...hook audio plugs from the back of the receiver to your television. Then hook your PS2 into the television. Now set the unit on the aux. function and set surround sound mode to party(even sound on all speakers). Ta da surround sound with PS2 and xbox or whatever else. Anyway, I have found this to be a great system. I did alot of research before buying this unit. For me, I didn't want to spend much over $200 for a home audio system without a DVD player or $300 for one with a DVD player. Since I didn't have a DVD player (minus my xbox) I decided on this unit. The picture and sound quality for DVDs is great. It really gets you into the movie. As with any television or home audio system...take the time to read the manual. The stands are weighted nicely and won't fall over unless forced. Also the radio feature is something I was highly interested in, for listening to college games when they're not on TV. Another nice feature is the universal remote included. Basically eliminating the need for having 3 different remotes just to watch a movie. One remote controls the TV, dvd, and surround sound...not a decision making factor, but still nice to have. I can't say I've found a downside to the system as of yet. For the price range I think this system is top of the line. Good luck!
Great product for the price.......2005-07-17
For the price of this unit you can't beat it, only downfall is no optical or coaxial digital input and only one aux input... the sound is great, really looks good too....Several options for sound and picture quality, universal remote, you CAN change a disk while one is playing..very good quality speakers, remember if you pick a speaker up and it has no weight to it, most likely it is not going to give you the best sound quality. All in all panasonic did a good job. Keep in mind, there are better systems out there, but for the money, this is well worth it.

This system Rocks!!!.......2006-05-13
Fell in love as soon as I switched it on. A great buy at this price. If you dont mind running wires across your room, you should get this.
Good Entry Level Home Theater System.......2006-03-16
I finally decided to retire my bachelor's home theater system (5000W Denon/Klipsch system) for a unit more spouse friendly. As this sytem is only $200 (refurbished), I'll try to keep that in mind during the review.
DVD Player: The DVD player has 5 trays which load from the front. You can load trays as a movie plays (nice touch). Video resolution is amazing for a unit in this price range. Additionally, the DVD player has no problems playing DVD-R/DVD+R's or CDR's. It pixelates when playing DVD-R's made on an older Toshiba IDE drive (which play fine in other DVD players). It has no problem playing any discs made on my more modern DVD recorders. It also has no problems playing discs with home printed adhesive labels on them. Video output is via analog RCA jack, S-Video or component video RCA jacks.
Sound/Speakers: You can only squeeze so much sound from a small speaker with a plastic chassis. And, Panasonic seems to have done as good a job in this department as possible. The output is rated as 120W Center and 55W Front/Surround. As with most of these systems, the rating is about double of what you actually get in sound reproduction. The Sub-woofer is not powered, but works well enough. To get room filling sound, I have to crank the volume to at least 75% of full power. One cannot tweek the audio output much, and it's made even more difficult with the "busy" key pad on the remote control. The sound quality won't appeal to a true Audiophile, but it should satisfy the average listener.
Receiver Section: The receiver has no inputs for video, so hopefully your TV has extra inputs for your VCR/Cable box. The receiver has a single set of stereo audio inputs. It has no audio output (other than the speakers). The AM/FM receiver is of mediocre quality, so don't expect it to pull in anything but close radio stations with the supplied in-door antennas. Front panel controls are few, so you must resort to the remote for most functions. The remote control buttons have numerous functions and subfunctions. It's rather difficult to use and the manufacturer's manual is of little help. It can be programmed for your TV/VCR.
Overall: This unit is a good entry level home theater system that should satisfy most consumers. It's easy to set up and comes with one set of speaker stands for the front speakers.
Refurbished items: I've bought several refurbished items over the years... HP computers, HP LCD monitors, Braun razors, Toshiba IDE DVD recorders, and they all have been in like new condition (probably open box returns that were never used). When it comes to audio/video components, I've purchased a refurb'd Go-Video DVD Recorder/VCR that works perfectly, but has some dents and did not come with factory accessaries. This Refurbished Panasonic Home Theater System also had some blemishes to include a cracked lens over the display (hardly noticeable). So, be aware that if you buy this refurb'd, it may have some blemishes.
