Get the Sound that goes with hi-def. Panasonic's SC-PT960 Home-theater System is a complete system with 6 speakers, a 5 Disc DVD - CD changer, a radio, and 1200 Watts pure power! 1080p up-conversion via HDMI from standard definition (720 x 480 pixels) images from DVDs to display on HDTV (1920 x 1080 pixels). Get the most out of your HDMI-compatible HDTV, with sharp and exceptionally detailed high-resolution images. And unlike ordinary Video up-converters that produce images with thicker edges and decreased sharpness, the HD Enhancer keeps edges crisp and clear, for outstanding detail. Super Surround puts you in the action with lifelike sound from every angle, and a Four-Step Subwoofer Level Control puts you in command, with rich sound effects you can hear and feel. They also come equipped to deliver exceptional sound quality from portable Audio players and other new Music sources. Go ahead and listen to music on your iPod by adding the included Universal Dock for iPod, or tune into your favorite XM stations. Home Theater System with 5-disc DVD changer/receiver

Looks better than it sounds

"Speakers look great, but the rear speakers don't add that much sound (especially when using the ipod). It does link well with the panasonic viera tv. I'm not sure how it compares to other home theater systems in this price range, but it does sound better than the normal tv speaker. The ipod dock is very convenient as well...." Read Full Review »

"The only problem is that the wireless transmitter (sending sound to the rears) is powerful enough to knock my Xbox 360, the Roku Netflix-streaming box, and my wife's laptop off our wireless network. Granted, these items are all within the same room, so perhaps moving some items to another room (like …" Read Full Review »

"I did a lot of research prior to purchasing the SC-PT960. I wanted wireless speakers so that took a few brands out of the equation. I also didn't want to pay $800-$1000 for a surround sound system. Set up takes a couple of hours since you have to build 4 speaker stands along with the rest of the set …" Read Full Review »
