Panasonic SC-BT330 5.1 Channel Cinema
Surround Home Entertainment System
Viera Cast's assorted online content just keeps getting better
- in addition to the popular contents such as YouTube and Picasa Web
Albums, it now offers Pandora Internet radio, exciting sports from FOX
sports, and tweeting web communications with twitter. No PC required.By
using a combination of real speakers and virtual speakers, a more
natural and smoother sound can be enjoyed. You'll notice the
difference, especially in an action scene - you'll feel like you're
sitting in the center of a true cinema theater.With the bamboo cone
speakers, the sound becomes much more responsive. Vocals are more pure
and cleaner, and the dialog is crisper and easier to understand than
ever before. The Kelton type subwoofer reproduces highly robust,
reverberating bass sounds.The SC-BT330 is compatible with a feature of
ARC (Audio Return Channel). ARC allows receiving 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 will simplify the
connection by eliminating an audio cable connection between the TV
audio output and the main unit's audio input.
Great product with minimal downfalls.
I have been in the market to get streaming content on my TV for a while
now. I compared this unit against the LG-LHB535. The LG has some added
features.
1. Built in Wifi
2. Streaming software... which means you can stream from your computer.
3. HDMI inputs.
Otherwise the Panasonic works awesome. It's fast and responsive, easy
to setup, small and sleek, and it's cheaper than the comparable LG
unit.
It includes the following features.
1. Amazon video rentals... Awesome.. However it's $3 for most regular
rentals and then more for HD. I'm still a bigger fan of RedBox $1 for
anything... Amazon I might be holding out on your steep prices.
2. Netflix the same as everything else... other than the interface is
really simple and ugly like the PS3 interface. It's not as easy to
navigate and search like the X Box 360 or on your computer.
3. Youtube which is cool.
4. Picas pictures which is neat but almost useless in some cases.
5. iPhone/iPod doc that allows audio and video playback. Very cool, it
charges and doesn't display the "this accessory is not made to work
with your device" message.
6. Blue ray, DVD, burned DVD's etc.
7. Two fiber optic inputs that allow you to plug in your infamous HD
DVD player or some other audio sources. Would have liked to see HDMI
here... LG has it.
8. Viera Link which is cool if you have a Panasonic TV like I do. It
turns the stuff on off etc by communicating over the HDMI cable.
9. The sound is AMAZING for as cheap as this unit is. The speakers are
crisp and clear. Very nice surround sound. I had a Sony STR-K750P, and
this Panasonic system is way better.
