Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Sound Bar Home Cinema System with Wireless Subwoofer The Down Firing Subwoofer achieves powerful bass by releasing the sound downward from the speaker unit and port, and utilizing the sound reflected from the floor. By expanding the sound field in the upper front area of the TV screen, Clear-mode Dialog gives the sound greater depth. It also makes voices sound like they’re coming from the center of the screen. This links the picture and the sound more precisely, so movie dialog and music vocals are clearer. The slim, stylish home cinema design is a perfect match for a wall-mounted VIERA TV. A stainless mesh material is used for the speaker net, and finished with a stylish mirror coating. The speaker unit inside is visible through the mirror-coated mesh in this highly unique design. The home cinema system is compatible with the ARC (Audio Return Channel) feature. ARC makes it possible to receive audio signals from the TV, on top of the preexisting HDMI function of sending audio/video signals to the TV with just one cable. This feature simplifies connection by eliminating the audio cable connection between the TV audio output and the main unit’s audio input. * ARC compatible TV is required. VIERA Link lets you operate a home cinema system with a single VIERA TV remote control. With VIERA Link there’s no more need to switch between multiple remote controls.
Product Description
Combining a slimline soundbar with a separate subwoofer gives the Panasonic SC-HTB520 a full range sound that's a huge improvement over built-in TV speakers. Twin treble units and mid-range drive units give this soundbar exceptional clarity. In addition, thanks to the Clear-mode dialogue feature, the sound can be projected to the centre of the screen, linking the picture and sound to give a more precise sound with clearer dialogue. At the other extreme, the separate subwoofer uses a 16cm, downward firing cone to add impact to movie soundtracks and high drama events. Although the benefit to sound quality is clear over standard TV speakers, the SC-HTB520 demonstrates you don't have to suffer the domestic consequences. The slimline soundbar measures just 7.5cm high and 4.4cm deep, meaning that it can easily and discreetly sit beneath a TV, or even wall mounted above it. Similarly, the subwoofer features a wireless connection, making it easy to tuck out of the way, without having to consider where to put the trailing cables. If you already have a VIERA equipped TV, then the SC-HTB520 makes even more sense. VIERA link ensures that a single remote control will handle both the TV and soundbar. Furthermore, whatever your TV is, the HDMI Audio Return Channel has the potential to further cut down on cable clutter. Use a single HDMI connection cable and you can not only feed sound from the TV into the soundbar but also video from any sources connected into the soundbar, such as Blu-ray player, games console and DVD player. In addition to its compact dimensions and minimal wiring, the SC-HTB520 is finished to match the greatest amount of TVs possible. The gloss black look blends in effortlessly and will integrate with most TVs to make its appearance hardly noticeable at all. Discreet styling, ease of use and, most importantly, a real boost to sound quality. The Panasonic SC-HTB520 makes an impressive soundbar.

Amazon Verified Purchase
Well I guess most of you are looking for sound bars as I did to eliminate the wires of a full 5/7.1 surround sound system. Over the years I have had surround sound systems and have always enjoyed the characteristics of them. I had been waiting around 6 months before jumping in to buy an alternative. I found this sound bar on amazon but before parting with my hard earned cash I wanted to hear this in action. I sourced a well known retailer that supplied this, went to the shop and kindly asked to have this set up as I would like a demonstration. As keen as the comission filled salesman was, he set it up in a few minutes from an unopened box that was in store and to be honest he handed me over the remote and away I went. Messed around with the settings and wacked up the volume to find I was very suprised how good it really was. Really like the sound generated from the preset 3D equalizer setting, this is one of three settings. Decided that I liked it, thanked the salesman and told him I will think about it. Came home to purchase this on Amazon at a much better price. Was delivered brand new in 20 hours. Even had a call from the supplier stating he had handed it over to the carrier and it will be with me in the morning, excellent service.
Ok recieved the following morning set it up straight from the box with an optional optical cable I bought from the tv optical out and wanted to hear some magic moments of my action filled movies from SKY HD but it would only access one of the three settings from the equalizer. No problem. I then set it up using the HDMI and hey presto all three were availible at much better clarity than the optical cable. I'm using a Samsung V-6 series tv that doesn't have ARC technology but its does exactly what ARC does on panasonic TV's. So those of you having Samsungs will have no issues with this advanced feature. Cant comment on other TV's so research may be required. So now I have a really nice sound coming from my sound bar and the wireless sub has a lovely low end thud at all settings.
Great stuff, so now I want to connect my PS3 so that blue rays can be played along with movies from its HDD. But...... there is only one HDMI port, so will I be stuck with only one of the three setting from the equalizer. And yes I was, reading in the manual that using the optical cable it would set the equalizer to the frequenzy from the source. Yet I wanted to the choice of this. So I went onto Amazon and purchased a 3 input one output HDMI splitter which arrived the following day. This is now working a treat and exactly as I wanted. I even have a extra HDMI input for adding another piece if hardware at a later date.
Pros: Looking great infront of my 40" TV,
Sound quality is good.
Remote control
Two input sources 1 HDMI. 1 Optical.
Wireless Sub Superb.
Cons: Only one HDMI Input (yet overcome this)
Extra cables needed
So overall I have now got want set out to buy and thought I would share will all. Oh It also comes with little feet for having it in front of your TV (I have it as it came) or if your are wall mounting it the brackets are also supplied. I really like it now its all up and running the way I want it. And turning it off to hear TV speakers again makes me so pleased that I have this alternative lovely sounding option.
Update Feature: Now how many times have you gone to bed to wake the next morning to find the surround sound has been left on all night? When I switch my samsumg TV off at the end of an evening the soundbar also switches off. Great stuff!!

Pleased with this bit of kit. Improved the sound on my LED Samsung TV 100%. It will never be as good as full surround sound but I didn't want speakers and wires everywhere. The bar itself sits neatly in front of the telly and looks as if it belongs there. The sub woofer is unobtrusive and has the benefit of wireless technology. Suits my needs and if I was marking this product I would give it 9.5 out of 10. Sounds good - looks good - value for money.

After much searching I finally realized this was the system to get after hearing it in action at a John Lewis store. I took the plunge and purchased! The boxing was good and secure with delivery being fast.
The sound bar and sub woofer look beautiful and stylish. Nice shiny black always looks smart.
Set up is easy and instructions are simple, yet detailed. This unit can be connected by HDMI ARC or Digital Optical Cable. I connected it by DOC to a Panasonic TX-P50U30B Plasma and the sound is immense!!! It's better that the cinema.
I tested 300 - Fever Dream when I first got it and was in awe at the sound quality and deep bass. And it goes soo loud it's unbelievable.
This is a must buy! You will not regret it.
10/5
