Panasonic SC-PT670 1000W 5DVD 5.1 Channel Large Speaker Home Theater System with Built-in iPod dock
From Panasonic

Panasonic SC-PT670 Overview; High Quality Sound: The SC-PT670 uses front and center Bamboo Cone Speakers for crisp, clear mid- and high-frequency ranges and powerful, deep bass. A rigid, low-density bamboo material used in the front and center speaker's cones helps achieve a clean, responsive sound. Vocals are pure and clear and dialog is crisp and easy to understand. The Kelton Type Subwoofer has an internal structure that is divided into two completely sealed spaces. The drive unit that is mounted to the space in the back causes the air in the front space to vibrate. This causes an Acoustic Filter effect in the front space to absorb unwanted noise while also vibrating the Passive Radiators. This achieves highly robust, reverberating bass sounds. Built-in Dolby Digital and DTS Decoder renders movie-theater-like sound while Home Theater Mode produces a total output power of 1000W of High Clarity Sound. Easy to Use: The built-in Universal Dock for iPod gives you a great new way to enjoy music and video3. Just slip your iPod into the cradle and enjoy. The dock charges your iPod , allows you to use the home theater remote to control the iPod , has on-screen audio menus, and also plays back iPod video. The SC-PT670 includes a High Speed 5-DVD/CD changer with Multi-format Playback: DVD-Video, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD-R, +R, +RW, CD, CD-R/RW, Video CD, SVCD, WMA, MP3, and JPEG. Environmentally Friendly: Add to this feature set a Smart Setup mode with Auto Speaker Setup and and Energy Star compliance, Low Power consumption for Stand-by (0.1W), and you have an ideal Home Theater solution.

Worth Every Cent!! I ordered this Panasonic home theater system on a Thursday and received it the following Monday. Let me tell you, when the UPS guy delivered this, it was hooked up in under 30 min. Nice, clear, booming sound, an i-pod dock and a 5-disc DVD changer that converts standard movies to 1080p- Incredible!! The picture quality(viewed on a 42-in flat screen) along with crisp sound and great price(thanks Amazon!)is all you could ever ask for in a home theater system. The only knock that I have with this system is that there are a bunch of wires that crisscross everywhere but it's not that big a deal. I highly recommend this product. Great Product This is a great quality sounding system for the money. It was extremely easy to set up and the remote control is not complicated at all to use, unlike some more expensive systems. I would highly recommend this system especially if this is going to be your first system. It is well worth the money, you will not be disappointed. Be Aware... not wireless as advertised. It is wireless ready I sent a complaint to both the vendor and amazon. Neither responded. The link is false advertising. If you want those speakers to be wireless, you have to find the kit to make it wireless. I believe you have to pay another 130 dollars directly to Panasonic because that kit is very hard to find. Do not buy this model if you want wireless. Go straight to the PT770 because that is the model that comes wireless. The false advertising aside, the sound is good.

Very impressive list of options.... Okay, so first lets start with what has not been listed in the product listing: Blu-ray Profile 2.0 compliant for playback of BD Live material on compatible discs(needs internet connection) Upconverts DVDs selectable 480i/480p/720p/1080i/1080p output via HDMI Plays Blu-ray discs, DVD-Video discs, DVD-RAM, DVD-Rs, DVD-RWs, DVD+Rs, & DVD+RWs Plays CDs, audio CD-Rs, CD-RWs, CD+Rs, CD+RWs, & MP3 CDs Plays digital picture CDs (JPEG) and DivX videos Built-in decoding for Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital True HD, DTS, and DTS-HD Master Audio (No DTS ES Discrete 6.1 DTS 96/24 DTS Neo 6) 3-channel amplifier (133 watts x 2 for front speakers, 134 watts for subwoofer) Has a USB port for connecting an optional thumb drive or hard drive Wi-Fi capable (needs optional USB adapter) and Ethernet port Built-in support for Netflix movie and Pandora music services (you need to subscribe) Has built-in iPod dock with audio, video, and iPhone support Bluetooth-enabled (listen to your TV with a wireless Bluetooth headset) No component or composite inputs No coax input No XM or AM radio So, with all of these features, I can tell you that this is ok if you have a small space and no children. The finish is very glossy and shows every bit of dust and fingerprints and likely will easily scratch. The sound is a bit lacking when compared to a a true 7.1 system with a good (Onkyo) receiver. So, even though this decodes DTS-HD as well as DD True HD, it's kind of useless with this system. While it will decode those, you will not really get to appreciate it. Also, the sub is a bit weak. You have a 3 channel amp to run 2 speakers and the sub. So, if you simply do not have the room and you have to worry about neighbors, this is an okay system. I was thinking about giving this 4 stars, but after all, you can do better without spending that much more. Great Choice! I put in a lot of research and bought the BD-7200 as soon as it was available. There is not another product out there that has the same features in such an attractive, compact package. Wireless Netflix, Ipod, Blu Ray w/ quick load times...The sound is good but not quite as powerful or encompassing as a true 7.1 or 5.1 system. If you have a small space or simply don't like the wires all over, and want all the latest functionality then this is for you! Doesn't sound like 5.1 even a little. Don't get me wrong the sound is good, but it's not surround sound. I've had this system for several months now, I've watched a lot of movies, and maybe it's me, but in reading the product description from the manufacturer, this system, using 2.1 channel, is supposed to simulate 5.1 surround sound. I think it should do that better then it does, especially for the price of the system. If you want surround sound, this ain't it. If you want easier setup and a system that sounds good loud, this might work for you. I don't recommend it.

Review from Home Theater Magazine Review from HomeTheaterMag.com: Yamaha YHT-591 HTIB With the YHT-591, Yamaha establishes a modest and reasonable set of goals and meets them well.

AMAZING!!!!!! This has to be one of our best gifts to us from Santa ever! It comes with 2 speakers - we bought an extra one and liked it so much, we just ordered an other one. You can change the song from any speaker, each speaker has volume control and on/off switch. When not in use, it displays the time. It looks sharp and the sound is unbelievable. The best part is you can move a speaker outside or basement or garage anywhere.... Nice but tough to set up! So now that I finally have mine up and playing I will say its a neat little unit. I won't rave about the sound quality as it does not meet my standards but yet it's good enough for the use that my wife and I bought it for. I will say it has decent sound quality for the price. I have not had the issues others have with it interfering with WIFI/phones but remember it has various cahnnels you can use to keep it from interfering.I am disappointed that you are not able to listen to any componet that is digital through this unit as I bought it so when I play a concert DVD I can have the added sound in additional rooms. This is not possible unless you conect to the receiver through componet cables which defeats the purpose of having a nice set up. Pros: It's a nice little compact unit with decent sound that has a pretty good range. There is not a room I can't receive a good signal from (unlike others have stated). Cons: If you don't have a receiver that is set up for this unit, be sure to understand that you are going to pay extra money for the EZW T100 transmitter. This extra cost came as a surprise. When setting it up, calling Sony does not seem to work, I highly recomend their "chat" room for technical assistance. 2 hours on the phone got me no where and 15 minutes in the chat room had me up and running. They need to put how to "hard reset" in the manuals, this would have saved me a ton of grief. The fact that you can't listen to ANYTHING that is connected through a optical, digital or HDMI cable is a MAJOR DOWNFALL. Summary: I like this unit but set up is an issue in many cases. Sony is nickel and diming folks for this unit and it sure isn't worth it. I wish I had put the money into a protable unit that I could take anywhere. This unit will not work if it isn't linked to the main unit. Since it won't play the digital portion off my receiver, a protable unit makes more since. I can only listen to the tuner and my old CD player through this unit. I do love gadets and this is just that a gadet. There for I am fairly happy with it as it is a neat concept. There definately needs to be some refinements from Sony for the "next" generation. Works great, but has some limitations. This is a great idea and a solid product. The sound quality is quite good - almost as good as a Bose docking station, in fact. But this unit does have limitations in terms of how close it needs to be to the mother unit or another S-AIR speaker. You won't have any problems whatsoever if there isn't a wall between units, regardless of distance. But if there is a wall between speakers, you may have to play around with where you put the unit a little bit. Overall, it's a great product that has some practical limitations. Highly recommend.
