Product Description

With Panasonic, you can choose from 3 different types of Home Theaters that match your preference and room. Panasonic SC-PT770 Overview; High Quality Sound: The SC-PT770 uses front and center Bamboo Cone Speakers and a Kelton Subwoofer for crisp, clear mid- and high-frequency ranges and powerful, deep bass. A rigid, low-density bamboo material used in the fron and center speaker's cones helps achieve a clean, responseive sound. Vocals are pure and clear and dialog is crisp and easy to understand. The Kelton Type Subwoofer has an internal structure that is divided into two completely sealed spaces. The drive unit that is mounted to the space in the back causes the air in the front space to vibrate. This causes and Acoustic Filter effect in the front space to absorb unwanted noise while also vibrating the Passive Radiators. This achieves highly robust, reverberating bass sounds. Built-in Dolby Digital and DTS Decoder renders movie-theater-like sound while Home Theater Mode produces a total ouput power of 1000W of High Clarity Sound. Easy to Use: The built-in Universal Dock for iPod gives you a great new way to enjoy music and video3. Just slip your iPod into the cradle and enjoy. The dock charges your iPod , allows you to use the home theater remote to control the iPod , has on-screen audio menus, and also plays back iPod video. The SC-PT770 includes the front to rear wireless speakers, and a High Speed 5-DVD/CD changer with Multi-format Plaback: DVD-Video, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD-R, +R, +RW, CD, CD-R/RW, Video CD, SVCD, WMA, MP3, and JPEG. : Add to this feature set a Smart Setup mode with Auto Speaker Setup and and Energy Star compliance, Low Power consumption for Stand-by (0.1W), and you have an ideal Home Theater solution.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great low end system!, May 15, 2009

This review is from: Panasonic SC-PT770 1000W 5DVD 5.1 Channel Home Theater System with Built-in iPod dock and front-to-rear-Wireless Rear Speakers (Electronics)

Was in the market for a home theatre system and after looking at several different brands, I settled on the Panasonic SC-PT770 system. Went with the Panasonic since I have a 56" Panasonic tv. This was very easy to set up and works great in the small area that I have it in. The sound quality is great! The sub hit's with a very nice deep thump! I love the IPod connection with the one screen display. Works very well. The wireless rear speakers work great as well. I did not have any issues or interference with my wireless network like some other folks have mentioned in their reveiw. Of course, I do agree that there was not enough speaker wire for the rear speakers. I used the sound setup mic and it seemed to dial in the speakers like it was supposed to. Thus far, I am very pleased with this system and would highly recommend it!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, June 25, 2009

This review is from: Panasonic SC-PT770 1000W 5DVD 5.1 Channel Home Theater System with Built-in iPod dock and front-to-rear-Wireless Rear Speakers (Electronics)

Pros: Attractive design, easy set up, good sound quality (for the most part).

Cons: Unintuitive setup and menus, intermittent cut out from the rear wireless speakers, poor picture quality from the DVD player. Also, I have yet to be able to watch a movie on the DVD player without the picture freezing for a split second every two to three seconds. It's very distracting and disappointing after spending this amount on a new DLP television and home theater system.

I bought this system a couple of weeks ago for use in my 800 sq. foot apartment. Bottom line--it rocks!

At first, I was mightily peeved that it only had one HDMI port. I thought FOR SURE it had two of 'em. Well, I just assumed that it would, as nowadays, all you need to do to hook up a kickass surround sound system is to run an HDMI cord from the Cable box to the home theater system, and then one more from there to the TV.

Nope, Panasonic went cheap and added a degree of difficulty.

So, in order to use this system to it's maximum, I ran a fiber-optic audio cable from the Cable TV box into the Panasonic unit, and an HDMI cable from the Cable TV box to the TV (I've got a 40" Sharp Aquos TV). Then I ran an HDMI cable from the Panasonic unit to the TV, also. Works like a charm! And the sound is really amazing. I am blown away by how good it is (maybe because I went without for almost a year!). But the subwoofer really gets the job done, and the other speakers have excellent, crisp sound.

My only gripe, besides only having one HDMI port, is that the rear 'wireless' speaker wires (the ones that go to the wireless receiver) are only 10 feet long--12 feet would've been much better. I can't put the wireless receiver unit between the two speakers, due to the configuration of my living room and furniture, so the proprietary speaker wires kind of hang limp and look ghetto-ish behind my couch.

Otherwise, for the price, it's an unbeatable system. It would get five stars if it had another HDMI port and the rear surround wires were a bit longer.
