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 Tannoy FX 5.1 Home Cinema Speaker System

...I bought my cinema pack just under a year ago and it?s still in working order. It has a modern appearance so its still looks quite new. JVC?s Cinema Pack contains all you need to turn your living room into a fully fledged mini-audiotorium ? you just supply the screen, the form of a TV or projector. The DVD player, surround sound amplifier and speakers are all here. The DVD player and amplifier/control centre come as separate stackable units with the connectors necessary to join them and connect a TV. The DVD player is JVC?s XV-E1112 and is finished with a smart silver/grey front and well positioned buttons. It is capable of playing a wide range of formats including DVD, Svcd and VCD for video and MP3 music for audio. Both CD-R and CD-RW discs are also supported.

Panasonic Lumix TZ6, Versatile compact with great image quality

Advantages: Fantastic little camera with 12 x zoom & 10.1MP (better than TZ5), but cheaper than TZ7
Disadvantages: No HD movie mode, not very cheap

...The Panasonic Lumix TZ6 is a great little camera that I have used to compliment my large DSLR (a Nikon D90 I have also reviewed), which is too big and expensive to be taken everywhere. Specification The TZ6 is compact camera with 10.1 MP, which is plenty of pixels for all but the larger prints and harshest crops. This means that in normal conditions there will never be pixelation, in fact too many megapixels squashed onto a sensor can actually reduce the image quality. The most important feature of this camera is the 12x zoom, 25mm wide angle, Leica lens. Leica is a quality brand, and this lens is no exception, it produces quality images and the lens slides out of the camera quickly and smoothly. There is no lens cap, but slide across covers, as in most other digital compacts. Design For such a versatile camera, it is...

Review of Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ6

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 Panasonic PT-AE900 projector is the latest and most impressive projector in the award winning PT-AE series. It is a true high definition progressive scan 16:9 projector with a native resolution of 1280 by 720. This liquid crystal display projector challenges the picture quality; smoothness and contrast of the more expensive digital light processing models. The on screen image can truly be described as cinema quality. Here are some of the features: 1100 ANSI Lumens brightness 25 db operating noise 5500:1 contrast ratio 720p resolution +/- 30% keystone vertical correction Manual zoom Manual focus Min 1.2m to max 12.4m projection distance Front / Rear / Ceiling projection Joystick for horizontal and vertical lens shift 3.6kg 335 by 95 by 270mm (w/h/d) dimensions 100-240V Mains power 180 W consumption (<1W in standby...

Review of Panasonic PT-AE900E

Panasonic does it again

Advantages: Range of features, quality
Disadvantages: Single tuner

...Introduction Having bought a nice new television (Recently reviewed) I was looking for a new DVD player to go with it and knowing a bit about Hifi and Home Cinema I opted for a player from the same brand Panasonic. I have always been very impressed with any Panasonic product I have owned or seen in a home. After a little look around I opted to buy this player as I had heard great things about it and some of the other products in the DIGA Range so I choose the Panasonic DIGA DMR-EX79 and here is my review. The Look When Choosing a new DVD Player I wanted to get one that was as smart looking as the new television I had just bought. One thing about Panasonic products I like so much is that they have a great look and this player is no different, It looks very smart in it's Piano black casing and as usual the remote is very concise...

Review of Panasonic DIGA DMR-EX79

A world of cinema... for £162

Advantages: Great facilities, great Unlimited deal
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I am fortunate to live right next to a large Shopping Centre, that not only contains many good stores but is itself surrounded by many other retailers, restaurants, cinemas, etc. My favourite attraction: the Cineworld multiplex. Cineworld is Britain's second largest multiplex cinema operator in the United Kingdom, with 74 cinemas and over 800 screens. It also has one cinema in Jersey and another in the Republic of Ireland. Its first cinema opened in 1996, and the company has since integrated the UGC cinema chain. I like the "ambiance" at my local Cineworld. There is another huge cinema complex down the road, and even though everything in it is more spacious (lobby, screen rooms, washrooms) and boasts a slicker, more sophisticated decor, it feels colder and less welcoming. Cineworld, on the other hand, has...

Panasonic Lumix FS7

Advantages: Perfect picture
Disadvantages: None

...I have just replaced my Fuji fine pix with another camera, and whilst buying my boyfriend bought himself a Lumix FS7 which I am now regretting not getting for myself. Always the way, but whenever I go shopping for something electrical, some guy in a suit always sways me towards something different. Which I should really learn from and just buy online, its usually cheaper anyway. The Panasonic Lumix FS7 Digital camera comes in a range of different colours; it cost £130 which for a 10.1 Megapixel camera was pretty good and the deal we got meant that a free case came with it as well as an additional memory card. So there were no qualms on the price. 10.1 Megapixels Right away we was impressed with the quality of the images this camera was taking, I also test the pictures out on phones and cameras by taking one scenic photo, a photo...

Panasonic Lumix TZ6 - metal-bodied compact zoom

Advantages: Sturdiness, Ease of use, Autofocus Tracking
Disadvantages: Overshadowed by the TZ7, Tries to do everything for you

...I always find it a little strange when a company releases two similar models at the same time, especially when the price difference is only around £40. The Panasonic Lumix TZ6 and TZ7 are similar stable-mates, with the TZ7 being the superior of the two. Having said that, the extra features of the TZ7 are things I can quite comfortably live without, such as the superior video capability with stereo sound, an HDMI output, and the ability of the camera to recognise up to 15 of your friends when they appear in a picture. Why would I want that? I don't have 15 friends - and even if I did, I'm sure I could remember them myself! The TZ6 is aimed at people who want to take nice pictures but don't really want to know how those pictures are achieved. Almost everything is designed to be automatic and intuitive, and there is some pretty...

Love cinema? Cineworld Unlimited Card

Advantages: Great value if you use it
Disadvantages: Can be cheaper to pay as you go

...'. The upshot of this was that seeing a film at a 'proper' cinema meant an hour's drive each way to either Braintree or Ipswich. So when I moved to Northamptonshire, the lure of not one but TWO multiplexes in spitting distance was too strong to resist. At that time, the UGC cinema was on my route home from the office and I found it very difficult to drive past and not drop in especially as I was in temporary 'digs' waiting for a house purchase to go through. The UGC became my second home. The first time I visited I discovered the Unlimited scheme. How it works *********** For just £10.99 a month (it was £9.99 when I joined nearly 2 years ago) you can go to the cinema as often as you want. It really is that simple. You can use your local cinema or any other Cineworld cinema, anywhere in the country - with the exception of the 4 West End...
