Panasonic SC-BTT370 5.1 Channel 3D Blu-ray Cinema Surround Home Entertainment System

by DVD Home Theater Review Team on February 27, 2012



Step into the 3D World. Watch 3D movies at home with Full HD 3D technology with the Panasonic SC-BTT370 5.1 Channel 3D Blu-ray Cinema Surround Home Entertainment System . Advanced 2D image technology accumulated over the years at the Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory (PHL) has also been applied to 3D image playback, allowing high quality images to approach original film quality. Lifelike 3D images with dramatic leaping effects and enhanced depth, luster and texture are beautifully reproduced. The 3D Effect Controller lets you moderate the leaping effects of 3D images. It also lets you adjust the amount of depth, so you can view expansive images and enjoy movies with exactly the kind of 3D effects you want. Panasonic has worked with Hollywood film studios at a laboratory that we have maintained in Hollywood over a long period of time to research image reproduction technologies. These activities have enabled us to accumulate the know-how necessary to faithfully reproduce original movie images on Blu-ray Discs. Now, we have applied these advanced 2D technologies directly to 3D movie reproduction, to achieve truly beautiful images with even more lifelike realism, depth and texture.

Pros
- Built-in ready to go WiFi for streaming netflix, vudu, and many other services. This thing will also do Skype!
- Panasonic changed the subwoofer so it fires the bass into your floor, creating a theater-like boom and experience.
- The cinema surround sound feature you can turn on really increases the surround effect of movies, making this 5.1 system sound like a 7.1 system.
- The SC-BTT370 allows you to connect your xbox or ps3 or whatever has an HDMI source directly to the unit, so you don’t have a ton of fussing and forgetting which system is hooked directly to your TV and what setting you are supposed to be on.
- The deep color and full 1080p picture renders beautifully. I am breathless when watching bluray movies on this system.

Cons
- The problem with this unit is the software. Although the GUI looks very pretty, it has some severe limitations.
- it takes forever to switch to the HDMI inputs.
- The ARC connection is disabled if you also disable their viera cast features.
- No easy way to control the bass level on the fly, you’ll have to preset the speakers in the configuration menu.

Panasonic SC-XH150 5.1 Channel Cinema Surround Home Entertainment System

by DVD Home Theater Review Team on February 20, 2012



The Panasonic SC-XH150 5.1 Channel Cinema Surround Home Entertainment System features a Clear Sound Digital Amplifier that analyzes the difference between the input and output audio signals and makes the necessary adjustments to produce an output signal with the same low distortion as the input signal. This results in sound that is highly faithful to the original sound source. The home theater system is compatible with the ARC (Audio Return Channel) feature. ARC makes it possible to receive audio signals from the TV, on top of the preexisting HDMI function of sending audio/video signals to the TV with just one cable. This feature simplifies connection by eliminating the audio cable connection between the TV audio output and the main unit’s audio input.

Pros
- Works like a charm with my Pansonic Viera Plasma TV.
- Price is right… This is significantly cheaper than most stereo receivers or blu ray players, and it comes with all the speakers. I have Netflix on my TV and an HDMI cable running from my computer so no real need for a Blu Ray player.
- Setup was really easy. The speaker cables are all color coded, and have ends that easily snap into the receiver one way, so it was really easy to set things up.
- Speaking of the speaker cables, they’re of pretty decent length. I thought I was going to need to buy additional speaker wire but the included cables were more than adequate for me. Obviously this depends on your setup, but generally speaking they did a good job of providing enough cable length.
- Free shipping
- More pros here

Cons
- PS3 wouldn’t detect it correctly so I never managed to get the surround function to work.
- My LG PZ750 TV also wouldn’t work with the audio return channel (ARC) function of this unit, at all.
- We never even got to use it. Right out of the box, the iPod doc popped out, but would not go back in.
