I have had a blu ray drive on my computer but this is my first component blu ray drive. It was incredibly easy to setup. The menus were a little confusing at times, but with the manual I could find everything I wanted to tweak. I must say I was impressed until I started listening to music and watching blu rays. The Bass was great from the sub, and the surround speakers immersed you in the product. But the fronts were just too weak and tinny sounding. I decided I would experiment with my old speakers from my DVD HTIB. They are 6ohm 100watt speakers that are a little bigger and wooden. OMG! the difference was astounding! I wanted to post this review just to let everyone know to grab a pair of your old stereo speakers and watch this baby soar.

The Ipod connection was a little disappointing. I plugged my itouch and iphone in (works with airplane mode). The sound was fine, but nothing really translated onto the screen. It just let you advance, play and stop from the remote. In the end I still would control it from the ipod. The only difference from the line in jack is the few remote buttons and it charges while the system is on. Panasonic does a much better job with this. Maybe a firmware upgrade will change this. Also if your system is stuck in muting when you plug ipod in, a reboot fixes it. I found this online.

Finally, with Internet connectivity you would think they could integrate Netflix and Pandora. But not yet. I am hoping a firmware upgrade will add them.

All in all, as a Blu Ray home theater in a box it is superb. I set it up with HDMI and Optical connections all around and it paid off. But I would have given it a 4.5 or 5 if the front speakers hadn't been so weak out of the box. But not a deal breaker as cheap bigger speakers really added the oomph it was missing.

I'm not an A / V expert, nor have I ever claimed to be. I believe, however, have years of experience in dealing with consumer electronics and the joy of learning and using the latest technologies.

This was my first Blu-Ray or home theater system. For the price, I do not think you could probably better established. Again, I am no expert, but the system sounds good and works well. I had pretty low expectations, I did not expect the quality of surround sound or just rich, they are very satisfiedthis purchase. After weeks of research and flip-flops of other products could not be happier. This product for its category (low-end Blu-ray HTIB) is a solid 5 stars. I think in the world of Blu-ray HTIB products, would come at 4 stars, but this is still the element in the current products with cost multipliers That many more.

The two biggest advantages and disadvantages of this system are the same article: Set. Physics was set up a breeze. A qualified (or untrained,like me) could be monkeys. Everything is color coded and very intuitive. Get a good optical audio cable to your TV / satellite / cable TV / game console sound can feed back into the system. The body part that I do not like the user menu was. I am very comfortable with electronics. I rarely read the manuals. The menus are intuitive, so it's not even funny. Out of the box and set up the system works well. To make it work a lot, took some effort.A hair in the soup is huge for me that the default setting for the TV HDMI 480p, 1080p NOT. It took some serious digging in the manual and change the menu. There are also three separate places, to change the sound. One of them is a simple push of a button on the remote control, they are one of two buttons on the remote Rather inexplicably, the other is a menu item on the front panel display requires only that the manual says bad as you access. However, even if you are comfortable with theseTypes of products for a longer learning curve than usual will be prepared.

On the positive side, however, this same system. The image quickly, without problems mosiacs, artifacts, etc. The sound is deep and rich. I, in my humble opinion, I believe that sound as good as everyone else, the most expensive I've heard. Again, I am no expert, but my ears love it. It interfaces well with my TV. The remote is easy to program and two (although other brands) work well together. MyRegular DVDs are upconverted to an acceptable level. As regards the overall power speaker, I am more than pleased. I'm in The Lord of the Rings and during the action scenes aloud, we got some major signs that I make sure my neighbors do not appreciate. It was like we really are in a cinema.

Pros:
Easy to set up physical
Great sound
Powerful sound
Fast loading times
Quality
Price
Easy calibration

Cons:
Poor menu
Short(Not acceptable) the length of speaker cable
Outside the window settings
Unable to connect to the Internet to services like Netflix

All in all, I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a home theater audio system. Be aware that the menus are a pain. I think for the money, you can not do better. I think even for more money, much more, it would be hard pressed. I am more than satisfied with the whole of creation. Now that I am to use the menu, not harmful, althoughstill rather confused, as they did.

i was very apprehensive about buying this system after some of the reviews but wow!!! i love this. i had no problems with set up. It was done in a couple of hours. The only reason it took that long was to remove my old system and speakers. The rear wireless speakers are not too loud like other complained. The amp for the rear speakers fits nicely under my sofa, so no one see any wires. The blu ray is excellent and it does a very good job on regular dvds. I am not an audiophile, just a Want to see Blue Man - Ray / HD movies sound good. I already have enough, they think the error. I see people recommend this system to yen.
