the only reason I do not purchase the scht-80 be because it would not read audio cd-r 's . I wait for the the scht-70 and have have it for a week , its a fantastic compact system with the same feature as the scht-80 plus the ability to play cd-r 's . dt support be a bit confusing because some advertising I read say it support DTS however in the manual it state it do not , and I have not have any dvd 's with dt to test it . its not a problem as the Dolby Digital sound be amazing consider the size of the speaker . there be not much difference in the SFC -lrb- Sound Field Control -rrb- setting as a reviewer of the scht-80 find and the speaker be still hard wire but with plenty of length to get to the back of the room . overall a terrific system that I would recommend to anyone , well do Panasonic .
