Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Get dynamic, full-bodied surround sound from a stylish, compact, high-quality system with Panasonic's SC-HT75. The system consists of a compact audio/video receiver coupled with a five-disc DVD-Video/DVD-Audio changer, a five-channel speaker package, and a 135-watt powered subwoofer.

With the AV receiver, the convenience of Dolby Digital and DTS surround processing as well as compatibility with high-resolution DVD-Audio is provided. DVD-Audio discs provide multichannel and stereo sound, incredible storage capacity, and unique bonus materials not available on regular audio CDs.

The DVD player also plays recordable CDs full of MP3 music files, giving you the ability to load the changer with more than 50 consecutive hours of near-CD-quality music. For movies, Panasonic's dialogue enhancer makes human voices more intelligible, a great feature for late-night viewing when you want to keep the sound low but still follow what's being said. A 10-bit, 27 MHz video digital-to-analog converter ensures clear, vivid images from discs.

What's in the Box

4.0 out of 5 stars A great system for the price, July 29, 2002

By	C. MacGregor "Chris" (Seabrook, Texas USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My wife and I bought our SC-HT75 over the weekend at Best Buy (our old DVD player gave up the ghost on Friday) and we could not be happier. The SC-HT75 was a breeze to set up and within 30 minutes (mainly spent removing the four components that this system replaced) we were up and watching DVDs again. There are a couple of issues that I have with this system, the one-at-a-time disc loading tray is a cumbersome pain, and the lack of cable/satalite controls on the remote is another, but the sound more than makes up for it. Our den now sounds better than the local movie theater, and for that the price is more than worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent system--except for one point, September 23, 2002

By	"cpassant" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This is an excellent system, incredible sound, easy setup. But there is a glaring omission. No digital audio input for digital cable or satellite. Just analog. That means you cannot experience full 5.1 surround on digital cable or satellite, just DVD.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for the price, weak on MP3's, November 21, 2002

By	Paul (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews

I have had no trouble with the system, and think it sounds and works quite well for the price. I have had it for two weeks now. It does not reproduce deep bass well, but for this price, that would be a lot to ask. It also is not progressive scan and does not have component video out, though it does have s-video out. I would not complain about that as Panasonic is upfront that it is not progressive scan, and for this price, who could expect it? Two complaints; 1) It is weak on MP3 functionality. It does not have on screen folder and title selection for MP3 discs. So when I put my disc in with 12 folders and 125 songs, I have to select tracks by number only. 1, 2, 3, . . . 124, 125. There is nothing to tell me the song title or even what folder within the disc the song lives in. Also no shuffle play or song lists for songs on an audio cd. 2) It does not have adequate tone control. It has a nice digital reverb/sound field emulator, just no direct control of even bass and treble that I have found. Good value, that's it.
