Excellent Sound...with some limitations

bylovehifi Nov 30, 2008
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very simple.  3 HDMI inputs.  1 HDMI output. Very smooth clean sound. Not expensive.
Cons 3.1 design.  Cannot perform as well as true surround sound with separate speakers.
Recommended it? Yes

I did a great deal of research prior to buying the Sony HT-CT100 Sound Bar system.  I read so much misinformation that I very nearly decided against making this purchase.

I am going to furnish a very detailed review of this product, as I feel there is much clarification to be made. ... Read full review »

Pros Relatively inexpensive for this type of home theater system. Truly excellent sound.
Cons Another remote, and losing the TV speakers. Maybe - see update

First the agony, then the ecstasy (more or less)

bybjwilson Aug 18, 2008
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros VieraLink, sleek look, wireless speakers, great audio and video performance
Cons Stupid instruction manuals, unhelpful customer service, flimsy disc door and iPod dock
Recommended it? Yes

My family recently took the plunge and bought a Panasonic plasma for our living room as a second TV. While setting it up, I read about something called "VieraLink" - a way for Panasonic devices to talk to each other over an HDMI connection. My curiosity piqued, I hit the web to find out what kind...

Recommended it? Yes

We were looking to replace our Bose 321 system in our family room. Over about 4 years the Bose was showing its age more than a bit. Where movies used to be played and clearly heard with a volume setting of 40, we were now often at 80.

I had wanted a blu ray player for some time, also wanted... Read full review »
