Reviews of the Panasonic SC-BT200

CNET Review
The Good: 7.1 home theater system; built-in Blu-ray player; solid sound quality for an HTIB; excellent image quality on Blu-rays and DVDs; iPod dock built into AV receiver; Amazon Video On-Demand and YouTube streaming.
The Bad: Step-up SC-BT300 delivers better sound quality, albeit for more money; no Netflix or Pandora streaming; autosetup mic is too short; no video inputs; lacks Wi-Fi.
The Bottom Line: Panasonic's SC-BT200 is a 7.1 home theater system with built-in Blu-ray and solid sonics for the price, but it doesn't have the Netflix streaming found on some of its similarly priced competitors.

Review Summary: For pure sound and crystal-clear vision, the SC-BT200 can't be faulted, delivering impeccable performance at a very reasonable price. Tech-heads might complain about its lack of wireless and lacklustre iPod support, though.
