Panasonic SC-PT850 home cinema system review

 

If you've invested in a decent sized HD-ready television, picking up a decent set of surround speakers is a vital addition to get the most from the high quality digital audio available with modern equipment. Something like Panasonic's PT850 5.1...

Excellent sound quality, DVD player upscales to 1080p, choice of setup arrangement, easy to fine-tune, stylish

Lack of additional connectivity

Despite a couple of minor qualms we think the PT850 looks great and performs better, and considering the video capabilities included in the package is a bit of a bargain to boot

With its muscular black finish and 'tall boy' speakers, the Panasonic SC-PT850 makes an imposing statement in the living room. The four floorstanding surround speakers are easy to assemble, and can be wall-mounted or perched on a table-top

Wide comatibility ; Excellent sound

Can't handle high-def discs

It's important to have satellite speakers at the right height if you're going to get the best from your home cinema kit.

amazing sound

What sold me on this machine was it plays dvd-a audio discs as well.Pink floyds dark side of the moon in 5.1 on this machine will blow your socks off. Buy it just for that. The sound is simply stunning for the cost. However, the picture isn't the best...

Attractive unit of stylish design and finish. Easy 'initial-set-up'. I have had the unit for just over a month, now and have to say that the sound effect is excellent - clear and (if required) very loud! The picture up-scaling through the HDMI lead is...

Usual 'over-complicated' instruction manual. Speaker cables (as supplied) are too short for any room over 5 metres wide (to achieve surround sound effect). I should refer to the instruction manual more often to get the best from the unit but (as usual)...
