Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Blu-ray Disc™ Home Cinema Sound System. Bamboo Cone Speaker is a rigid, low-density bamboo material used in the front and centre speaker cones helps achieve a clean, responsive sound. Vocals are pure and clear, and dialogue is crisp and easy to understand. Kelton Subwoofer has an internal structure that is divided into two completely sealed spaces. The drive unit that is mounted to the space in the back causes the air in the front space to vibrate. This causes an Acoustic Filter effect in the front space to absorb unwanted noise while also vibrating the Passive Radiators. It produces highly robust, reverberating bass sounds.

Panasonic's Home Cinema System is a great way to enjoy the music, video and photo contents on your iPod. The list* of iPod content can be displayed on the TV screen, and you can use the remote control from the home cinema system or a VIERA TV to select and play it. * Only for Music and VIDEO ** To enjoy iPod video/photo contents, please connect your home cinema system with SCART cable to your TV.

Because these models are compatible with the VIERA CAST function, you can access YouTube™, Picasa™, and other Internet sites from the special VIERA CAST screen. YouTube™ lets you watch the newest video clips, and Picasa™ lets you view Web-based photos. You can also check weather and stock information on other sites.

The Navigation GUI screen is displayed when the home cinema system is connected to a VIERA TV with an HDMI cable and the power is turned on, or when the Smart Setup button on the main unit is pressed. The Auto Speaker Set function, which optimises the speaker output levels by using the included microphone, also eliminates the need for any special knowledge or experience. Anyone can then easily set it up by following the directions on the screen, for movie enjoyment with the best possible sound.

During Standby Mode;A reduction in power consumption (Approx. 0.3W) has been achieved compared with 2008 model (SC-BT100), when the power is turned off.D21 During Active Mode;By controlling the power consumption depending on the audio output level, a reduction in power consumption has been achieved compared with 2008 model (SC-BT100).

After using the Blu-ray Disc™ Home Cinema System, it is automatically turned off when you return to TV operation using the VIERA Link menu. * 2009 VIERA TV

    This review is from: Panasonic SC-BT200EB-K Blu-ray Disc 5.1 ch Home Cinema System (Electronics)
    Panasonic SC-BT200EB-K Blu-ray Disc 5.1ch Home Cinema System

    Bought this cinema system to go with Panasonic Plasma TV I ordered. Although couldn't find any reviews on this system, took the plunge, and I am so glad I did.

    The picture quality is as good as I hoped, normal DVD's look great upscaled via HDMI, I received Planet Earth on Blu Ray at the same time, and blu ray quality is awesome as expected.

    The 5.1 is very clear, loud and very punchy! I am glad the neighbours have been out for the day as I was trying a few films with it. Top class stuff.

    Connection wise, the SC-BT200 has HDMI output, with 2 Digital Optical inputs for other systems i.e. Sky or Freeview. There is also an analogue input for stereo input too. On the front of the player there is an SD card reader for pics and movies, plus a USB port, oh and not forgetting an Ipod dock plus a Headphone socket. There is also an ethernet socket on the back for accessing VieraLink features such as HD youtube vids and firmware updates for the system. The system even has FM radio too.

    A wireless adaptor for the rear speakers is also available (SH-FX70), for about 100 pounds if you dont want to pull up your carpets to hide the wires.

    An in all a great buy, and one of the 'cheaper' blu ray home cinema systems available. You wont be disappointed with this system.

    On a final note I would like to thank Amazon for a smooth transaction from start to finish. With great communication and updates.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Paired With TX-L37V10 - Very Good Indeed!, 12 Aug 2009
    This review is from: Panasonic SC-BT200EB-K Blu-ray Disc 5.1 ch Home Cinema System (Electronics)
    My system spec now is:
    Panasonic TX-L37V10 (100,000:1 contrast ratio versus 50,000:1 for the G15 model)
    Panasonic DRM-EX85 250Gb DVD/Hard disk recorder
    Panasonic SC BT200 Blu-ray suround sound

    The TV is excellent apart from the sound (apparently like all flat-tv's). The plan was always to pair it up with some sort of surround sound and this is the one I went for after looking at separates and other all-in-one solutions. After setting up the Blu-ray and trying out a few DVD's I wass extremely impressed. As the other reviewers here have stated, the sound quality and loudness is extremely good. There are ever things in DVD's I have never heard before!

    Things to watch for:
    The remote for my Blu-ray worked for both DVD players! Using it would operate both of them (annoyingly!). You can change the signal setting the DVD/BLU-ray recieves from the remote so they are different - it's described in the troubleshooting section, so change it and there will be no problem with it.
    Yes - turn the bass down one or two levels - it is very deep by default (unless you like it that way!).
    Panasonic - please speed up your firmware via a software update, because it is too slow at starting up and reading disks. Not that it is very slow, just a bit too slow if you know what I mean!

    There are quite a few reviews coming out now for the SC-BT200 and they are all favourable. I would tend to agree with them in my humble opinion. If you fancy this system, you most likely won't be disappointed - do it!

    Thanks previous reviewers. Your input helped me decide to select this model ;)

    UPDATE: Definitely update your software on the Blu ray player. Basically you go to the Panasonic support site, select the player and download the image file. Just follow the instructions exactly and away it goes for half an hour or so. Sorry I cannot post the link because Amazon seem to have filters to stop competitor links being entered, but persevere with it because it is worth it.
    The latest version details from the Panasonic Global Support site are:
    Update Version Ver 1.6
    Update File Name / Size Europe/UK/CIS BT200_v16.exe / 37,269,877 bytes

    5.0 out of 5 stars exactly what I wanted, 10 Sep 2009

    This review is from: Panasonic SC-BT200EB-K Blu-ray Disc 5.1 ch Home Cinema System (Electronics)
    I was looking for a product that could suit both my video and audio needs and I really struggled to find something that matched all my criteria (ipod dock, blu ray and suround sound and clear and nice audio sound zhen listening to the music)
    This panasonic gave me everything I hoped for for a good price and it is amazing to hear such a good sound for such small speakers. It also gave me more
    I knew that blurays where good but I was not expecting my DVDs and DIVX to look so good, an amazing difference from my previous DVD player. It may just be due to the HDMI output that my previous player did not have, I am not sure, but it is outstanding !

    The only down sides, which are not really problématic for me are :
    - no HDMI entry on the system itself but you can use the audio inputs which work just fine.
    - the unit is slow to start, it takes about 30 seconds before it is ready to use and the open/close button is a bit slow to react.
    - When watching blu-rays, if you stop the disk, you have to start from the beginning again (menu etc...), you have to use pause if you need to stop for some reasons. It may be common with blurays cause you don't have this problem with DVDs.
