panasonic home cinema

Advantages: blu ray superior picture and sound quality. 1000 watts
Disadvantages: only 3 speakers

...I tested this out in shop and it sounded excellent. I bought it and it sounds 10 times better in my lounge. The 1000 watts power fills room with clear powerful sound. The music special fx and speech is crystal clear. It has a whisper mode so even at lower volumes the sound is perfect. This is a blu ray player and picture quality is beautiful. It will also up grade old dvds to higher quality. This is true they are better pictures but not that much different. The best aspect of this system is ability to create blu ray quality sound, it is true blu ray does have much improved sound quality and this system can recreate it. It also has an ipod interface....

Review of Panasonic SC-BT100

HOME CINEMA ON A BUDGET? TRY THESE.

Advantages: Small,unobtrusive satellite speakers.
Disadvantages: Not as good as larger speakers.

...I brought my set of tannoys 15 months ago and, at the time,they cost £300.Now,with a little searching around,they can be obtained for under £200. What you get in the box is five satellite speakers(two front,two rear and a centre speaker) plus a seperate powered subwoofer. You also get wall mounted supports for the two front and two rear speakers and all the speaker cables(i changed the cables to 79 stand q.e.d. speaker cable to improve the sound). Setting up the system is relatively easy:you just need an electric drill for the the wall mounted stands and once fitted,you just connect the cables to your home cinema amp. Easy!! Once you have connected everything,it is time to try out the system. My first reaction and i am sure yours will be the same was one of complete disbelief!! The sound quality for such small speakers...

Review of JVC QP-112AL Home Cinema Packages

Puts the cinema into home cinema

Advantages: No screen door effect, high contrast ratio, cinema colour, quiet, all the inputs you need
Disadvantages: there really are no significant disadvantages

...the cable inputs are at the back. I previously owned a Sony VPL-DS100 projector that I was very happy with. But after reading the praise in the reviews for the Panasonic projector I was tempted in to upgrading. I assumed that the picture quality would be slightly better than my Sony system. I was wrong. The Panasonic creates an image that is astonishing. I have a 140 inch (3.6m) screen; yes it really is that big! I used to be very happy to show off my Sony projector to my friends, but though it was very good, it was not cinema quality. You could see the pixels that made up the image, the so called screen door or chicken wire effect. The Panasonic PT-AE900 gives true cinema quality with absolutely no screen door effect. The colour and contrast of the projector is excellent. Panasonic has worked in conjunction with Hollywood film companies to...

Review of LG 42 LF 66

SCHT500 Home Cinema Powerhouse!

Advantages: Very Powerful, Stylish Design, Good Compatability.
Disadvantages: Poor Vocal Audio Level, Not Multiregion as Standard.

...it took a good few films and a lot of playing/reading the manual before I got the best sound out of the system. I would have to say that this is one of the biggest drawbacks to this setup that no matter how easy it is to physically set up this set it takes too long to get to grips with the audio options and some users may get bored of trying over time. When you do get setup you will be amazed by the power contained in this 500w system. It can only be described if you experience it yourself. The feeling of being in a cinema in your own home is well worth the time and effort it takes to achieve. Crystal clear Dolby Surround through five speakers adds a lot of depth to your movie experience. The volume is easy to control on the whole but it can be quite difficult to get a good balance of vocal and background effects especially on action...

Review of Panasonic SC-HT 500

HOME CINEMA AT ITS BEST

Advantages: BRINGS FILMS TO LIFE
Disadvantages: SUB-WOOFER LOOKS BULKY IN FRONT OF TELEVISION

...I have just purchased the Panasonic SCMT1, and would recommend it to anyone who wants to be `in` the film as well as watching it!, it is that good. The first film I put in was Bad Boys 2, and the bullets were whistling around my living room so much, I kept ducking and diving!. I can not tell you if this system is any better than any other make. The one thing I can say is ?You will not be disappointed? Just to show you how good it is, I put the same film on and have shown it to two good friends, and they have just gone out and ordered it. The system has `five` speakers, along with a sub woofer, the sub woofer being the main sound out-put for the base. The sub-woofer has four levels, number four giving the more base. It plays not only DVD-Video discs, but DVD-Audio, DVD-Ram, DVD-R, as well as CD-Audio, &CD-R/RW discs. It also...

Review of Panasonic SC-MT 1

Home Cinema + Stereo

Advantages: clean sound, nice finish, good all round speaker
Disadvantages: a bit, just a bit "boomy" bass

...I bought Monitor Audio RS6 speakers about 1.5 year ago now... And They still surprise me, getting better and better each day. In all reviews you can read about long run-in process. How very true. Each hour, day and week they will become more musical. Remember it is always worth to invest some money in cables, let them spread the wings, maybe the speakers are not top shelf, I would say more like a upper "budget" but nevertheless give them "some space". I did some listening in the shop (on an arcam system), comparing them to monitor audio brozne, smaller silvers - RS5, Acoustic Energy Neo 3 and B&W 685 (highly acclaimed - how fair). The only contestant in fact was the last - B&W with "highs" far better, far cleaner... but lows not as deep, and I wanted a speaker that would combine music with cinema performance... If not (If I was only...

Review of Monitor Audio RS6

Our home cinema

Advantages: Great screen, attractive
Disadvantages: Seems complicated

...This is my parents' telly. It has proved great for having friends over to watch dvds. We don't actually have a dvd player so we connect up our laptops to the computer using the ports provided & our own leads for connecting a monitor to a computer & sound speakers. Theres a way around anything these days. It works great. Its like being in a cinema in fact. It is our new main home t.v. - mostly because our old one had just packed in & my dad believes you should always spend as much as possible on new stuff (hmm.. yeh, ok dad). This is our first plasma. It was fairly easy to set up & use, although I admit I left the setting up to dad. But he's famous for technical disasters so that must be a good thing. Once you know what you're doing, the connections are also very easy to use. Just one thing.. be careful with laptops, as connecting...

Review of Hitachi Hitachi 42PD9700

Value for money Home Cinema System

Advantages: Design, style, quality, options
Disadvantages: can not see any

.... I was looking for a good quality, not to expensive home cinema system and found this one. Saw LG HT353SD in Sainsbury's for just £79.99 and was not sure. I checked all the other prices online and details on manufacturer's website. Same day decided to go for it and bought it next day. I have it over one week now and am totally satisfied. It does exactly everything what should and does it great. This home theatre system is very nice looking and nicely designed. Stylish I would say as each speakers surface reflects. Cables are absolutely long enough (even rear ones) as in some other sets they are simply to short. This time Lg's done a good job. Using remote control you are able to control everything. Batteries are included. Installation Instruction and a manual are included in box and are simple and easy in use. This went...
