I buy this system because it be highly rate by a consumer group as have excellent sound . they be right - it sound awesome with soundtrack-heavy dvd 's . however , I be go to get rid of it because I already have a extensive home theater system that I do not want to replace , and there be no way to output from this receiver to my current system !! rather , I can output video , but not audio . what kind of idiot at Panasonic decide that no one would want to output audio ? grant , the speaker that come with it be great , and the dialog-enhancement feature make it much easier to hear what the actor be actually say -lrb- you 'll hear dialog that you totally miss at the theater . -rrb- it would be a great system for someone who have nothing else they need to hook up - thus the 4 star . for I , however , it be just a few hookup short of basic utility .
