    VERY HIGH:LY RECOMMENDED! This system is incredible…

    That said, initially, I was so disappointed that I was began shopping for a replacement. After reading another Panasonic review, I easily found the SOUND section on the HOME display and switched it to heavy as recommended. WOW! It’s like a completely different system. PHENOMENAL and I thank this reviewer and AMAZON for great products, great product support and for providing this kind of information in reviews. I AM ECSTATIC and highly recommend similar Panasonic systems without reservation.

    Easy to install and connect – great price, humungous sound (how do they do that with these little speakers?) – and A GREAT VALUE.

    Alright, here’s a completely honest review from a guy who’s been shopping around for a good entry level system. I am in my 20′s, newly married, and not able to afford an elaborate home theater system at this stage in my life. If you want a fancy system with every last up-to-date bell & whistle, then I would say search elsewhere, but if you are looking for great sound for a really low price, then look no further. For the $200 I paid on Amazon.com, I couldn’t be happier. Following are some things I would like to comment on, and even though this is a long-ish review, I sincerely hope it is helpful to you or that some of the tips make this item even better! Just know that I am so pleased with the value I got from this system that I felt compelled to write a lengthy review, so that should be a testament to its quality! :)

    1. This system is a Home Theater In-a-Box. Therefore the speakers plug directly into the blu-ray player itself. No need to worry about buying a separate receiver. That said, because this is an entry level system not designed to be a big receiver, the input options are very anemic; there is only one optical input and no HDMI inputs. This however, is not necessarily a problem as some people complain it is. My TV has enough HDMI inputs for the player, my DirecTV satellite box, and my Xbox 360. From the Xbox and the DirecTV cable box, I have an optical Toslink cable plugged into a separate optical cable switcher I got for ~$5 at Monoprice, and this is wired directly into the receiver. This way, I preserve the 5.1 surround sound output from each device. This is the ONLY way to do this if you want to preserve your 5.1 output. Simply plugging HDMI’s into your TV, then having one optical cable run from your TV to the 5.1 system will not work as TV’s can’t strip the 5.1 sound from the signal and pass it through. You will get sound, but not 5.1 surround sound. So if you are buying this for use with more than one other peripheral, I would recommend picking up a couple optical cables and a switcher. Cables are only $2-3, and the switcher is only $5 as I said before.

    2. Sound: It is INCREDIBLE for this price. I have a mid-sized loft where everything is set up. Despite it not being an enclosed room, the speakers still fill the room with tremendously rich, full sound. I can’t even turn the volume up over 50% for fear my ears would burst. And this is coming from a 20 something year old guy who most of you probably thing would stereotypically play music too loud. I have my equalizer set to “heavy” which doesn’t make things louder, just more full, and I have the 3D cinema surround sound feature turned on. It is truly AMAZING. NOTE: I have seen others complain that this device doesn’t come with all the speakers working, or that they don’t work all the time. Well, respectfully, there is a good reason for that. To take advantage of a 5.1 system, your blu ray, TV show, game, or whatever, needs to be coded with a 5.1 soundtrack. If your media only has a stereo source, sound will only come out of the side speakers, not the front, and depending on your settings, it will only be quiet coming from the back. Make sure you have a 5.1 source! This item has the latest decoders, and will support media with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. Pretty awesome.
    *Onc confusing thing in the product description is that it says it has wireless back speakers. This is a bit confusing, as the back speakers are indeed wired. What it means is that there is an extra accessory you can buy to make them wireless, if you wish.

    3. Picture: Again, the picture, on an HDTV of course, is incredible! I don’t have a 3D TV, so I can’t comment on that aspect of this system, but the colors are sharp, blacks have good contrast, and images really pop out at you. Not to mention, the blu ray discs themselves load VERY fast. The player is also able to upscale DVDs to near 1080p, and the effect, while not as good as a BD movie, is excellent. Not much else I can describe about it, you need to experience it for yourself!

    4. Network: This is a WIRED system, so if you are looking for wifi, you’ll either have to buy an adapter or look for a different model. For me, this is no problem. My home’s wireless router sits right next to the television, so I don’t mind having a wired system. Again, if you are looking for more features, you’ll need to spend more money, but for what you pay for this system and what it gives you, it’s incredible. I would like to mention I’m not a huge fan of the Viera Connect interface, which you use to stream internet content. It feels sluggish to me, and a lot of the apps need a facelift, ESPECIALLY the Amazon Prime Video app. It would be really nice if that app would stream 5.1 sound too. (Are you listening Amazon?? haha). But each app does however do what it is supposed to do, and this system makes good use for streaming Netflix or MLB.tv etc.

    I recently received this really nice Panasonic BluRay player & spent an hour or two fiddling with the settings and configuring various things like my iPod…

    Once I received and installed the WiFi device and connected with my home networking, all became virtually perfect — a firmware update ran smoothly, news channels, weather configured for my local area, and great access to websites like my music at Pandora, my movies at NetFlix along with a set of spiffy videos at YouTube!

    I then went on to find a few days later that I had an apparently unresolvable streaming issue with NetFlix, which would intermittently hang during playback. Resolving the hang required a hard reset (power button for 10 seconds) of the player to restore the WiFi network, but the hang would happen again (and again) when I was streaming a movie — unbelievably irritating!

    Some web research on this issue brought my focus to the source… NetFlix is over-pushing the stream! I was then able reset this setting at my NetFlix account (use the 0.3 setting) and it hasn’t hung since!

    Am still happy with the box ;)
