Customer Review: Good for the garbage bin - Don't waste your money
I agree with all the reviewers below. This equipment looks great on paper. You seem to get great features for the money. But just like other people, the system we bought showed problems playing some DVDs ~8months after opening the box. It would play only some DVDs and music CDs. And after a year, it doesn't play anything at all. The sound is not that great as they tell you either. Ok, if you stand at a specific distance from your speakers, and you place them so that they ALL face you... Then you hear ok. But just move a few centimeters from this blessed spot and it doesn't sound better than my laptop speakers. And you can't understand dialogues unless you push the volume to the point that all my neighbors can tell I am watching a movie. Don't waste your money and time with this piece of crap.
Customer Review: NEVER Buy this!. Stops working after 1-2 years
I bought a HT700 two years ago and initially I liked it, played great. After 2 years it stoped playing all music CDs. Both mp3 and original audio CDs. Couple of months after that, it stopped playing 50% of blockbuster DVDs. I have a 5 year old $75 samsung player, that still plays great all kind of stuff. I don't think it's just the problem with this one panasonic system. It's all of Panasonic. It's just a piece of low quality stuff. They are just trying to sell to american market this piece of junk. Never buy any panasonic anymore unless you want keep buying every two years!!. - A disappointed customer
