Panasonic SC-PT460

I wanted an upconverting Panasonic DVD to go with my Panasonic 32lxd700 LCD, as I didn't want to pay the premium for a Blu-ray player that at present don't look, in my opinion, that much better than standard DVD's. I chose this model as it seemed good value with the extra surround-sound and MP3
capabilities.

The Good Points;

The picture is excellent. The sound is excellent, once you've worked-out the settings. It adds extra bite to the soundtrack and can make you jump out of your seat when you least suspect it.The remote is small and easy to use. It's great value, with the amount of features available.

The Annoying Points;-

The instructions are not too clear when setting the sound up i.e a few of the buttons have three different functions. Why not just add seperate buttons? If you don't have an i-pod, your mp3 might not work, even though there is a usb for non Apple products. I have a Creative Zen Vision M and it wont accept it. I had hoped to be able to also replace my Hi-Fi with this, but for some reason, whilst great with movies, it just sounds too tinny with music, despite the 1000w sub-woofer.

All in all, despite the odd niggle, I'm very pleased with it and would recommend it purely for its picture and surround-sound performance.
