Reviews of the Panasonic SC-PT660

CNET Review
The Good: 5.1-channel home theater in a box; DVD upscaling to 1080p via HDMI output; integrated iPod dock; full iPod menu displayed on TV for easy remote navigation.
The Bad: Utilitarian look and feel; paltry connectivity; no iPod video playback via HDMI or component output; sounds better with movies than with music.
The Bottom Line: With its five-disc changer, HDMI output, and integrated iPod dock, the Panasonic SC-PT660 delivers an impressive home theater value for less than $300.
