Panasonic SC-BT200

7.1 home theater system ; built-in Blu-ray player ; solid sound quality for an HTIB ; excellent image quality on Blu-rays and DVDs ; iPod dock built into AV receiver ; YouTube video streaming

Step-up SC-BT300 delivers better sound quality, albeit for more money ; no Netflix or Pandora streaming ; autosetup mic is too short ; no video inputs ; lacks Wi-Fi

Panasonic's SC-BT200 is a 7.1 home theater system with built-in Blu-ray and solid sonics for the price, but it doesn't have the Netflix streaming found on some of its similarly priced competitors.

Photo gallery: Panasonic SC-BT200 Although the technology debuted in 2006, for many consumers Blu-ray still feels like brand-new tech. That's why a home-theater-in-a-box (HTIB) system like the Panasonic SC-BT200 feels like such an incredible...

Panasonic SC-BT200 review

Having your head blasted off while gorging on action movies is as much part of the home cinema experience as eye-stroking images of Arnie going berserk with a semi-automatic weapon. And the 1kW-packing Panasonic SC-BT200 is certainly capable of ...

Panasonic SC-BT200

All-in-one 5.1 home cinema system with integrated Blu-ray player and iPod dock. Offers most sound formats up to Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, auto-setup and 1000W (RMS) of amplification. Includes VieraCast (Ethernet only) and optional wireless ...

Scientists say that smell is the most important sense, where aromas connect with the deepest, oldest part of the brain. We say scientists need to stay in more and let their inner Neanderthals rock out to the crisp, tight bass and enveloping detail ...

The automatic set-up doesn't adjust speaker time delays and favours earth-shattering (read: neighbour-infuriating) bass levels – be prepared to go manual to get it perfect. And where's the wireless? The Viera Cast system is plug-in Ethernet rather ...

Panasonic SC-BT200 review - Blu-ray player reviews and video

Can Panasonic's unassuming Blu-ray system match up to the delights of its standalone stablemates?

Easy to set up. Excellent picture clarity and detail. Impressive handling of motion. Dynamic, detailed audio

Boring looks. One or two HDMI inputs would be nice
