Product Description
Panasonic SC-PT670 Overview; High Quality Sound: The SC-PT670 uses front and center Bamboo Cone Speakers for crisp, clear mid- and high-frequency ranges and powerful, deep bass. A rigid, low-density bamboo material used in the front and center speaker's cones helps achieve a clean, responsive sound. Vocals are pure and clear and dialog is crisp and easy to understand. The Kelton Type Subwoofer has an internal structure that is divided into two completely sealed spaces. The drive unit that is mounted to the space in the back causes the air in the front space to vibrate. This causes an Acoustic Filter effect in the front space to absorb unwanted noise while also vibrating the Passive Radiators. This achieves highly robust, reverberating bass sounds. Built-in Dolby Digital and DTS Decoder renders movie-theater-like sound while Home Theater Mode produces a total output power of 1000W of High Clarity Sound. Easy to Use: The built-in Universal Dock for iPod gives you a great new way to enjoy music and video3. Just slip your iPod into the cradle and enjoy. The dock charges your iPod , allows you to use the home theater remote to control the iPod , has on-screen audio menus, and also plays back iPod video. The SC-PT670 includes a High Speed 5-DVD/CD changer with Multi-format Playback: DVD-Video, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD-R, +R, +RW, CD, CD-R/RW, Video CD, SVCD, WMA, MP3, and JPEG. Environmentally Friendly: Add to this feature set a Smart Setup mode with Auto Speaker Setup and and Energy Star compliance, Low Power consumption for Stand-by (0.1W), and you have an ideal Home Theater solution.

Reviewer: Allie, Central NY
I paid about $200 for this unit around Christmas time and saved it for when my boyfriend and I were moving into our house in April. The product was a little difficult to put together and also difficult to use when switching back and forth between the TV mode and DVD mode. I'm not a techie by any means and neither is my boyfriend but once we got it all hooked up and read the manuals it's great for our home. The sounds quality is actually pretty decent and the subwoofer is amazing. It's also able to be upgraded to wireless speakers if you buy the kit for it, which is about half the price of the unit but we have all the speakers surrounding the TV and it sounds great. I love the tall speakers as well, just adds a little something extra to the look and makes it look really nice. Good buy for someone who just wants a good unit for their living room.
Great deal

Review Date: March 16, 2010
Reviewer: Ona Charmley, Chico, CA
Was led to believe this was a wireless system. Was going to try to utilize the front speakers only but then I needed another cord for the sound to work when I just was watching TV . Then that cord didn't work and there was another one I could get. I just wanted speakers for my TV. I'm sending the unit back. Usually Amazon is so good about being able to send things back. They make it so easy with printing out the UPS shipping label directly from their site. But this time even though they're going to credit the return shipping cost I have to go and get the slip and pay for it myself. :( Makes things very difficult

Good, for the price
 
Review Date: June 26, 2010
Reviewer: Chase Hendrix,
I wanted this system but at the time it was 249.99, so i went with a Philips model (Philips HTS3372D) that was priced around 179.99.

I went to target last week and saw that they had lowered the DAV-HDZ273 to 124.99 for clearance to make room for this years model.

Being as this one was the one i wanted in the first place, i promptly purchased it, and was eager to get it home. I canceled all plans for the day and hooked it up because i was so excited. Hook up was pretty easy, and in 10-15 minutes i had it all hooked up in my room. It took me a while to get sound to come through all speakers, but after i played with the decoders and settled with pro logic 2 movie it worked pretty well.

Now, in comparison with the Philips HTS3372D, the DAV-HDZ273 looks sleeker, has more attractive speakers, and has a WAY better sub woofer. However the Philips HTS3372D in my opinion had louder satellite speakers, part of the reason being each one has 20 more watts to them. All in all I prefer this system, because it is far more attractive and for what the speakers lack in mids, the sub makes up for it in lows.

The Philips HTS3372D will either be given to my dad for a late fathers day gift or to my buddy for his bachelor pad.

I had the Philips HTS3372D since January 2010, in case any one was curious how long i used that one for my comparisons.

Great sound and easy set up. Was very disappointed that it held only one CD/DVD. I thought 3-5 was just about standard on most units and didn't even think to check. I prefer to put in 5 CDs/DVDs, hit shuffle and that to me is Home entertainment.

This product delivers for the price. This unit comes with an ipod charger/cradle which was cool to just set the ipod in there and listen to my music. I hooked it up to my home theatre projector and rocks the room in real surround sound. What can I say? Sony delivers as usual.
Great for the price!

This Sony Home Theater System was a birthday gift for my husband. It took him awhile to get it installed, but once he did, he loves it. The sound is great. Makes a big difference with the volume on our TV. He turns it up to hear the full effect and I can hear it through out the house. I would definitely recommend it.
Great System

This is a great system at a great price. Being I am not tech savvy the remote took a little getting used to, but the system was easy to set up. The sound is great! When I mentioned to my coworkers that I had purchased this system, they immediately wanted me to order one for them also. I have bought 3 of these and the feedback has been totally positive.

Review Date: February 28, 2010
Reviewer: Cameron Chehrazi, Los Angeles, CA United States
Purchased the systems to go with a 52" Samsung TV, which I am very pleased with.

The receiver/CD/DVD combo is very deep, does not fit the typical built in unit, we had to create a cut out. This get worse with the wireless transmitter that sticks out like a finger.
The wireless speakers have a receiver that emitts a low frequency buzz that can be heard when the system is off and even on low sound.
If there are other speakers in the house that you integrate into the system, when the suround sound is on the speakers only emit the background noise (like the rear speakers).
If you use the forward and backward keys on the DVD it gets off track and then you have to turn the system of and on, to get sound and video together.

Good things
The sound is good, installation is very easy.

Overall, if I did not have to go thru the hassel of repackaging and buying a new system I would have returned it.
Good buy
 
Review Date: February 1, 2010
Reviewer: Guitar solos addict, Chicago, IL
I bought this system 'cause i was looking for a samsung home theater to go with my samsung HD tv in order to make use of the BD-wise and other compatibility features, in addition to having rear wireless and tall front speakers. the remote controls both tv and the surround system, but sometimes it gets a little confusing to use with all these buttons...there's a 3-5 second lag when you switch from input device to another (d/in to hdmi in to usb...etc.). and there is only one HDMI in, one HDMI out. so if you have multiple HDMI devices you might need a hub or better off connecting to your tv and get optical out cable.
All in all, i recommend it, for the price and features it's a great buy. depends on what you're looking for in the system you want to own.
