(5 out of 5)Excellent!!!
Wonderful crystal clear sound, got all the features I want: VCD, CD, MP3, Progressive scan, DTS, Pro Logic, 5-cd changer ... Only complain was the disk changer is sort of slow, but hey, as long as I dont have to get off the couch. :)
My 1st buy was a Panasonic SC-HT75 from circuitcity. It was nice, but the quiet rear speakers are really disappointing. Now that Amazon is selling SC-HT95 at amost the same price I paid for the SC-HT75(after the rebate for 95 and tax for the 75), I made the switch immediately. With 75, I had to turn up the rear speakers to max and turn down the front speakers to feel a hint of 'surround' sound. For 95, even at a low volumn I can vividly hear bullets flying pass by my ear! Havn't got a chance to test the progressive scan yet, which is a major feature the sc-th75 lacks.
All in all, excellent machine and powerful speakers at a great price, highly recommand it.
(5 out of 5)Simply Marvelous, Just Marvelous
in response to the person who posted that his mp3's would not play on this system, i have to say that they do. the problem is with him and his mp3 recording program/techniques. i go as far as saying this because this system is marvelous, i mean for the money that you are paying i would even have to say you are getting a little to much ie.
progressive scan, dts, 5.1 dolby, dolby prologic,5 cd-rw dvd-r vcd,500 watts, 180 powered subwoofer,universal controller, and some other stuff i forgot. the point being, is that you wont be dissapointed
(1 out of 5)Do not buy this system!
This model has a major flaw. Whenever a CD or DVD is playing, a fairly loud high-pitched hum can be heard from the front 2 speakers. At first I though I just had a bad unit. I returned it and got another - same problem. I replaced that one - same problem. Finally I checked out the floor model in a retail store - same problem! The SCHT95 is unusable - the sound is so loud that it makes it impossible to enjoy listening to your CDs or DVDs. Two other problems: the unit gets extremely hot and it takes a very long time to switch between discs. Panasonic should discontinue this model.
(3 out of 5)Excellent sound, but an old technology
I bought this HT 10 days ago. I was imppressed by the sound. Incredible sub-woofer. A lot of control over the audio, BUT...
- I cound't play my MP3s. Strange sounds and "jumps". I tried different Panasonic in the store, and it is always the same. It's a problem with the model. Don't buy it if you want to play Mp3's with your Home Theater.
- Horrible interfase (GUI). Tiny icons on the screen.
- When you try to change from one disk to another it takes a l[o]t of time.
Finally, I changed the Panasonic for a Sony DAV C-770. It is SO... cool!
(4 out of 5)Works great...especially for price
I read over the other reviews prior to buying this product. One mentioned a humming sound. I heard the same thing, but only because I was looking for it. My wife didn't notice it at all. You can only really hear it when there is a lull in the sound while watching a DVD. Doesn't bother me enough to return it.
For the money this system is excellent...progressive scan, lots of power, and easy setup.
For [the price], it's hard to beat!
