Reviews of the Panasonic SC-PT650
-
CNET Review
The Good: Feature-packed, budget-priced home theater in a box; HDMI output with 720p/1080i/1080p video upscaling; includes iPod dock, tiny speakers, and a petite but powerful subwoofer; slim-line AV receiver/five-disc DVD changer; XM Satellite radio ready.
The Bad: Generic HTIB styling; spotty connectivity suite--no digital audio inputs, no video inputs; lackluster DVD upscaling quality.
The Bottom Line: Panasonic's budget-priced SC-PT650 home theater system sounds good for the money and delivers a decent roster of features--but the step-up model is an even better deal.
