You've just bought a widescreen TV and are ready to experience HDTV for the first time. Improved visual quality is just one part of the package. HDTV incorporates up to 5.1 channel Dolby-Digital compatible surround sound. Now there's a dilemma. You want this sound performance to be part of the total experience, but how do you configure 6 speakers in your entertainment room? You want the DVDs you watch to take full advantage of the HDTV you invested in, but you don't want to have to string so much cable to connect your rear surrounds and subwoofer. The Panasonic SCPT1050 makes it easy. The surround speakers and subwoofer are all wireless, meaning you can quickly mount them without worrying about running wire. The progressive-scan 5-disc DVD/CD changer up-converts to 1080p, which means you'll get the most out of your HDMI-compatible HDTV with sharp and exceptionally detailed high-resolution images. And unlike ordinary video up-converters that produce images with thicker edges and decreased sharpness, the HD Enhancer keeps edges crisp and clear for outstanding detail. Super Surround puts you in the action with lifelike sound from every angle, and a Four-Step Subwoofer Level Control puts you in command with rich sound effects you can hear and feel. It also comes equipped to deliver exceptional sound quality from portable audio players and other new music sources. Go ahead and listen to music on your iPod by using the included Universal Dock for iPod, or tune into your favorite XM stations with the integrated XM tuner.
Panasonic SC-PT1050
This is a good system. Set up was easy and the quality is overall very good. I had it connected to 58inch Panasonic plasma and an HD DVR via the optical connection and it works great. Very happy with the disk changer, the up conversion is not very noticeable as DVD quality is already very good. The front speakers could be smaller, no need to make them so big any longer and the manual could be a bit bigger and more robust. The auto speaker adjustment is not really serious... I love the wirless sub and rear's!
Watch your cable's - the Ez sync feature will only work on Panasonic HDMI cables, or comparable, so get the good stuff! Overall, solid and not overpriced choice for the quality, so full marks on bang for your buck. This system has many features that I will never use. I am having some real trouble leaving my couch now!
GREAT Home Theater system
I got this to hook up with my Samsung 61" LED DLP TV.
The best feature is that it comes with an optical input so you can connet
the cable DVR/HD receiver to it and get all your TV programs in Digital Dolby surround sound.
Upconversion upto 1080p is nice. we are watching all our DVDs again.
You can't go wrong with this one.
The wireless SW and rear speakers are really good feature.
The sound that comes out of this system is phenomenal. A volume level
30 shakes our home with 21' ceiling to its foundation. who needs the movie theaters when you have this setup in your home
Bad Auto Subwoofer Detection
If your system was unable to detect your wireless subwoofer, follow this steps...
1. Ensure all connections are completed.
2. Turn on your wireless subwoofer.
3. While pressing the SKIP BACKWARD from the main unit, press the number 3
button your remote.
4. While P is displayed press I/D SET. Turn off the wireless subwoofer,
then turn it on again.
Thanks to Panasonic Customer Support but I cannot recommend this Home Theater System to other people. This wireless system can cause radio frequency interference to other wireless appliances (phone, routers, laptop, etc.)
