Panasonic SC-PT956 1000W DVD Home Theatre System Review
October 8th, 2009
Panasonic SC-PT956 1000W DVD Home Theatre System Review from Baymate. Exactly what I wanted, UPDATE on Sept. 17, 2009: After 8 month, DVD player of Panasonic SC-PT956 broke. In warranty service now. Will see. Apparently the quality is subpar. Would like to downgrade to 2 star.
Among the popular brands (Sony, Philips, Panasonic) of upconversion DVD player-based home theaters in a box (HTIBs), it seems that they offer more or less comparable features. All three brands have HDMI and component out, audio in jack (at least one for TV), an iPod dock, radio (at least FM), and play slide shows. None plays DVD audio. Philips’s strength is that its DVD player is more capable of playing different formats of discs/media contents (e.g., Pal/NTSC, DivX), which may be a deal maker for some people. In addition, Philips has a USB connection but no optical in or headphone out jacks, a possible deal breaker for others. Sony’s and Panasonic’s systems have a 5 disc changer and the higher end models offer wireless option for surround speakers. Aesthetically, I would rate the speakers in the following order (starting with the best): Panasonic, Sony, Philips. In terms of the quality of sound they produce, they should all be adequate for watching movies but also okay for listening to music. Overall, these HTIBs represent great value in home electronics when priced competitively – it comes down to the price in the end just as all other consumer products. The panasonic model SC-PT956 sells at Costco for $[...], and is on sale for $[...] in January 2009.
