need a space-saving system with big sound ? buy this now !! Panasonic have do really well with this baby . the sound be excellent with both music and movie . and the system be pack with feature such as hdcd , highmat and jpeg decoder . unusually , mp3 disc sound great here , and my track be 160kbp !! oh , the tuner sound really good too . the system sound excellent even at low volume . so there be some merit to the not-too-tasteless bi-amp logo in the front . it be very nearly perfect but ... I briefly test dvd on the system but be use the supply cable for normal composite video , and the color be a bit muted . but I suspect the crappy cable be the demon here , and anyway when I get my own tv I 'll be use the component video output which should be much better . there be s-video output too . to nitpick further dvd be reset when the system go to standby , but luckily there be a memory function which be dead quick to use . the engineer be obviously on cheap drug when they make this oversight . but there be a 5 disc memory , yes this system be a 5-disc changer !! and lastly the remote , good luck if you have chunky finger heh heh heh ! Tips : the speaker cable length supply be miserly , consider get additional length , and do not worry the sound will not deteriorate . I have have to extend they by 4 metre with a different type and I buy cheapo , which mean a extra 16 metre for myself as the Panny be bi-wired - which probably account in part for the great sound . a pain but worth it . for music listening by all account play with the Equalizer but leave the Surround off , it be a bit too artificial . leave the equalizer on , even if leave on the flat Manual mode , the sound open up a bit . the Audio only mode make no audible difference , so leave it off and save you chunky finger ! the blue backlighting look nice but there be a dimmer if it get distractive . yes those engineer think of everything but leave a half-assed resume . for movie , by all account play with the Surround ! all in all this be a great system . and in the States it be a no-brain bargain . and do I mention the speaker look great !! take the grill off !
