Panasonic SC-HTB20 Home Theater Soundbar Reviewed

 

Panasonic's HTB20 soundbar system with its affordable price point may lead you to believe its performance is suspect. However, Andrew Robinson's time with the soundbar revealed it to be anything but.

The HTB20's build quality and versatility out of the box is among its greatest attributes, all for around $200 retail ; The HTB20 ability to be both a soundbar and a discrete pair of stereo loudspeakers puts it in a class with few competitors. It also...

Inexperienced users may not fiddle with the subwoofer's level long enough to get the most out of its performance and could therefore write off the HTB20's sound as bass-heavy or boomy ; One more HDMI input would make the HTB20 a no-brainer, all-in-one...

I must admit, I didn't have high hopes for Panasonic's new roughly $200 HTB20 soundbar system. That was my mistake. For what it is, the HTB20 is quite good. As a $200 upgrade to any HDTV purchase, the HTB20 doesn't disappoint and is worth every penny....

Nothing

Definately worth investment for the bump in audio quality over the internal speakers.

Works well with Panasonic Viera plasma.

 

I'm satisfied that this unit delivers what it promised - improved sound on a Viera link equipped television. Unlike the previous reviewer, my Direct TV remote controls both the tv and the home theater system and both turn on together. I don't need the...

Solid Solution for Panasonic TV Owners

 

I just want to say right off the bat that I have not had a tremendous amount of time to review this product thoroughly, I am just giving my initial impressions.

A modestly priced soundbar with some neat design and audio tricks up its sleeve.

Affordable price tag ; Good bass performance ; Clear dialogue

Lack of a proper display is disappointing ; Control system could be easier to use

Panasonic SCHTB20

 

Bought a Panasonic t.v to replace another Panasonic t.v but was disappointed with the sound quality as it was rather tinny sounding, so the only way to improve the quality was to purchase a sound bar, which personally I think is wrong as when you...
