Panasonic SC-BT200

By (cnet.com)

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.

Panasonic SC-BT200 review

By Joe Minihane (electricpig.co.uk)

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 ...

Great 1kW sound, great looking pics and stacks of audio support

Auto setting way too loud, iPod menus poor

A stunning introduction to home cinema that's bound to infuriate the neighbours

Panasonic SC-BT200

By (fwd.five.tv)

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 ...

For pure sound and crystal-clear vision, the SC-BT200 can't be faulted, delivering impeccable performance at a very reasonable price. Tech-heads might complain about its lack of wireless and lacklustre iPod support, though.

What HiFi

Is this the award winning system or is it the SC-BT200 and not the SC-BT200E. Please could someone advise and please could Amazon check and change all the What HiFi Award links if they are incorrect!

Fantastic

By Mrs. Ekaterini Munro (amazon.co.uk)

Fantastic

Have had this for a little while now, and I am still pleased with it. The sound is just fantastic. Really feels like you are in a cinema, right down to the vibrations on the floor! The main reason I bought this one instead of anything else was the iPod D...

Manufacturer's Description

In order to truly appreciate the high quality images of Blu-ray Disc, the sound performance needs to be upgraded to match the images. Until now, it was difficult to fully enjoy Blu-ray Disc sounds because you had to install and correctly set up the speakers. But with Panasonic, this is no longer a problem. Panasonic home theater systems handle all the complicated settings automatically with just a few clicks. Along with other features such as high quality picture, dynamic and clear sounds...
