I wish I had known.

(1 out of 5) by W. Kelly Blackshear Jr. on Sep 15, 2006
Quite simply, I was totally dissapointed. If I had kown then what a total pile of junk this was I would have done more home work. If anyone thinks about getting this, STOP! I was a long time Panasonic buyer but never again.

Known problem with this unit!!

(1 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Feb 3, 2004
Don't buy this unit. There is a problem with it over heating and causing a loud poping sound after a couple hours of use. I talked with Panasonic about this and they will not admit to the problem, however, you can find several other people that have had the same problem on the net.

When asked for replacement unit, I was told that I would have to take it to my local repair center to have a tech look at the unit. This unit is still under warrenty and it is going to take several days for the unit to be repaired. No sound or DVD while this takes place. I will never buy another Panasonic unit again, to bad because this was the best unit I found on the market. Guess next time I'll pay the extra money and get a Sony! At least they care about their customers.

Bad subwoofer

(3 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Mar 16, 2004
"I will be tackling Panasonic's SC-HT900 700 Watt home theatre system today. It's a luxurious looking package with 4 slim tallboy speakers accompanied by a center speaker, the SC-HT900 looks tall and slim. The subwoofer comes with a built-in 220 watt power amplifier and holds the same slim and tall characteristics. It seems that Panasonic has made this home theatre system look like those fashion models with too much makeup and too much height. The only difference I see between them....the HT900 is metallic silver and butt naked!...full review @ Bytesector...

Looks much better than it sounds

(1 out of 5) by J. Lo on Aug 15, 2003 (Fremont, CA United States)
Pro:
1. Nice speaker stands - very practical and sturdy
2. Video output is nice - as with most other component output

Con:
1. Speaker cables are as thin as a couple strands of hair & you cannot upgrade because it's hidden in speaker stand
2. Sound quality is really [bad]. You'll have to crank it upto near max level to hear anything (I've tried it on over 20 DVDs, CDs, VCDs)
3. The bass is a JOKE. Can't believe they call it a woofer.
4. Although they claim it plays CD-R, I've tried a few and they all skip or causes errors. Those CD-Rs play fine on my Toshiba DVD player.

All in all, this system looks nice but it's not worth spending over [money amount]for. The sound is so weak that you'll do better with nice TV's build-in speakers (I know 'cuz my Sony Trusound speakers sound way better than this system). I'm taking mine back to circuit city for a refund.
