I like dvd\/vcr combo for simplicity -lrb- one less remote to worry about -rrb- and want a upgrade w\/decent sound quality . the Panasonic scht820v certainly deliver impressive sound quality ! physical setup be easy , the only snag be the discovery that you \* must \* use the include video cable to connect the main unit to you tv as the antenna\/catv cable hookup -lrb- unlike other system -rrb- only pass you antenna\/cable signal to you tv , \* not \* the dvd\/vhs signal . include speaker wire be refreshingly long -lrb- 33 ' for the 2 l\/r ss speaker -rrb- . Picture quality be excellent on a std 36 '' tv -lrb- especially w\/the s-video hookup I use -rrb- and individual speaker delay\/volume be adjustable for personal preference . lot of feature list in the spec so no need to rehash they here but the 5 cd\/dvd changer be nice allow you to store a couple of music cd in the system while still loading\/watching dvd as you want . my only complaint be that the remote be a little complicated\/cumbersome to use -lrb- the manual answer all question -rrb- . I would have give this system 4.5 star because of this but to be honest this be nothing that a little practice will not take care of . I would buy this system again .
