Panasonic SC-PT960

 

The SC-PT960 is an excellent home theater system at a very reasonable price. Whether you want to avoid the hassle of piecing together separate components or you're looking for a home theater system that's a cut above the budget class, the SC-PT960...

Panasonic 5.1 sub woofer volume

 

Many have mentioned the subwoofer control. The remote near the bottom has a dedicated "Subwoofer Level" button which toggles X1, X2, X3 (shows on display) so you can cut the sub down enough for apartment listening. X1 is still audible but pretty quiet.

Good sound, wireless surround worked first time, excellent sound. Need to use remote DolbyII button between "off", "Movie", "Music" to acchieve best surround. (Off= 2.1 stereo). The big surprise was how well the surround worked with just plain TV sound...

Not a con but mine is the SC-PT760, same remote etc

Trouble at first - tweak your settings

 

I've seen a lot of reviews which have pointed out issues with the rear speakers. At first I had the same issue and was very disappointed - then thought it through a bit more. It's not that the rear speakers are weak, it's that the center speakers are...

Audio: Audio is pretty decent for the price. Speaker balances need tweaking to get an appropriate surround sound effect (see below section). Rear wireless speakers are a very nice feature ; Aesthetics: Speaker stands are great. I had considered other...

Setup: Screws could be easier to get in ; Wireless: Interferes with wireless internet (set your router to use channels 1, 7, 11) ; Interface: Could be a lot better (honestly they could of spent an extra 1-2 hours making it nicer) - remote is not as...

Great Sound

 

Modern looking and terrific sound. Newegg was extremely helpful in issuing an RMA for returning a defective unit and replacing it without any hassles. They even paid for the return shipping. Very professional people. I will deal with them again and again

The wirekess speakers are a little weak. that is why I rated it at 4 instead of 5

Panasonic SC-PT960 1080p Up-Conversion DVD 5.1 CH Home Theater System

 

i really wanted a great surround sound system and i needed a dvd player too so i got this I am pleased with the overall sound and speakers that come with the unit and the IPod dock is great. The DVD player is horrible in my opinion and there is a real...

Sounds very very good ; Speakers are skinny and fit well in just about any enviroment ; Adjustable sound modes for Whisper and different EQ Bands. You should note that you can't make your own EQ's or your own modes tho... Not much tweaking you can do...

No Cables (HDMI/Component/Optical) Included ; Channels(Front/Center/Rear) are not adjustable. Most surround systems willl let you tweak channels in dB's, this has no such feature ; Subwoofer is not wall powered ; Subwoofer has only 3 levels which makes...

Panasonic SC-PT960 Home Theater

 

This works well if you do not want to expand the system much futher than original configuration.

Easy to hook up, Great sound, Syncs well with Panasonic VIERA Link® tv. 5 disc DVD easy to load and use. I-pod interface to TV is great

Wish I could better balance front speakers with center speaker, the center speaker domanates even when I have set to -6dbs. Display of radio & I-pod is good but if you have plasma you will need to turn tv off after slecting station or songs to prevent...

Free noise with every purchase!

 

I won't buy an entry level home theater system again after this experience.

Nothing beyond what is indicated in the description

The major problem, as indicated by another review, is the hissing/buzzing/humming noise emanating from the speakers. Either Panasonic didn't properly design the electrical shielding for the system or my particular unit is defective. Either way, the...
