 Good surround sound home theater system |
| Review Date: April 25, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Miguel Carvajal, Santa Rosa, CA |
We purchased this system from Costco after the Onkyo system we ordered from Amazon.com arrived damaged. I have to emphasize that this is a poor substitute for the Onkyo system in many ways; however, for the last 9 months it has provided us with good playback of BDs and its sound quality is quite good.
To begin, the speaker cable connection system of the SC-BT203 is fool-proof. Each speaker cable is color-coded and the location for each speaker is clearly outlined on the colorful setup card it comes with. This same speaker cable system is also the undoing of the whole system: the connection is proprietary and, if one cable or speaker fails, I'm assuming you will have to replace the entire unit. Hasn't happened yet and we hope it won't happen for a long while.
Second, the speakers are very small in size, but the sound each one generates is quite adequate for our 400 sq ft family room environment. The subwoofer in particular makes the whole room shake at the right times.
Third, we are avid movie watchers and we've discovered that, after watching 2 or 3 movies on Blu-ray disc in a row, the system tends to freeze. I know it's not overheating because the cabinet we have it in is completely open. Maybe its memory gets full or it gets too hot inside. Either way, as long as we let it rest for a few hours it works fine again. This does not happen when we play regular DVDs.
Last, because the amplifier unit comes bundled up with the Blu-ray disc player, if one or the other goes bad, the entire system will have to be sent out for repair or be entirely replaced.
PROS:
-Good price
-Very good surround sound
-Easy to setup, speaker hookup super-easy
CONS:
-No iPod adapter included
-One single unit
-Proprietary speaker connections |
Poor Panasonic service after the sale
|
| Review Date: February 10, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Mark Holm, |
We purchased a Panasonic SC-BT203 Blue-ray home theater system from Costco Saturday January 30, 2010. The packaging was not damaged, and there were no indications it had been previously opened. The packaging excluded all speaker cables, and the connectors in the back of the unit are a proprietary design.
We contacted Panasonic, and they ran us through a series of requirements, including faxing the register tape along with the serial number and other details. We went through this process completely twice, because they said they had no record of our service ticket, even though we read it back to them.
We had Costco Valet service (which we highly recommend) try to contact them and that failed. We will never buy another Panasonic product again. The price of replacement cables on a piece part basis from Panasonic for the 7 missing cables is almost 80% of the cost of the original package.
If you get a complete package, I'm sure the quality is good, but if you have a problem like this, service is non-existent. At this point we have a $460 paperweight. Panasonic SC-BT203 1000W 7.1 Channel Blu-ray Disc Home Theater Sound System |

Excellent HTIB
|
| Review Date: October 11, 2009 |
| Reviewer: 350ZMO, AL USA |
| This is a very good to excellent 5.1 HTIB with BD DVD. It cannot compare with a system comprised of best of breed components or an excellent 7.1 HTIB. All speakers including the sub are powered by the base unit. THe base unit has a fan on the back instead of vents on the top. You'll find many reviews out there on this product. The base from the sub is not crisp like a powered sub but the quality is adequate and the volume is plentiful. Same can be said for the rest of the speakers as long as your room is big enough for a volume setting of 12 or higher. I notice below that setting the multi channel sound field diminshes. Speakers are plastic cased. There are preset modes for sound fields for news sports natural etc, I watch movies on bypass. News is good for when you want to hear very clearly the spoken words without the auditory distraction of music and multi channel affets. Plug it into the network and update the firmware to get full streaming options like u-tube. If you are looking for a 5.1 HTIB system this is highly recommended. One drawback I wish HTIBs in general had was an equalizer for a custom sound profile instead of picking a preset like news sports etc. But HTIBs are optimised for ease of use. The DVD tray isn't as stout as I'd like it to be. Sounds good but doesn't compare to my Onkyo HT-S9100THX 7.1 HTIB for either sound or inputs. This LG is obviously a huge improvement over built in TV speaker sound. The speaker wires are very small gauge but they work. Some people complain about the short front L/R speaker wire lengths. Actually the lengths are perfect for an optimum 5.1 speaker placement but your application may not allow optimum placement. Google for optimum 5.l speaker placement and you'll find the diagram. For these reasons you may want to buy speaker wire, I would suggest 16 gauge for the power levels of these speakers is adequate. Also you will need speaker mounts. It does have digital audio in so you can connect the digital out of your TV and watch HD TV with 5.1 sound by setting the input of the LG to aux. It also has analog portable stereo in so you can connect your laptop to your TV for video and select input on the LG to portable for sound. If you are looking for a true 7.1 dolby True HD experience (few titles but list may grow in the future) then look for a 7.1 system. For a 7.1 HTIB, the HT-S9100THX is my choice for excellent sound quality unbelievably in an HTIB, but it lacks the streaming options of the 5.1 LG LHB953. Video up conversion for Standard Definition DVDs is very good to excellent. From an unscientific subjective point of view, SD movie watching quality rivals my Faroudja DCDi based Oppo DV-981HD and HT-S9100THX (analog video source). Keep in mind the systems discussed here are very different systems for very different applications, large projector based home theater room, large bedroom. But room size and application is a factor in any home theater system. Note this unit has no HDMI in. In general if you are looking for a decent sounding 5.1 HTIB with internet video streaming and iPOD features, then this should be on your short list. |
Great system but remote problems
|
| Review Date: September 23, 2009 |
| Reviewer: L. Gabella, Colombia |
We just recently purchased this system.
The sound is great compared to our previous home theatre. The only problem we have is that the remote control is not quite good. We need to lean forward in order for it to work and it is quite unconvenient.
Maybe we need to check the sensor or something. Other than that it works perfectly. |
Awkward interface
|
| Review Date: July 18, 2010 |
| Reviewer: M. Schilling, |
This system has some nice features (e.g., built in Netflix streaming, Pandora, etc.) and was easy to install. However, the interface/buttons are sort of a deal killer. First, buttons isn't the right word. The system has smooth touch sensitive spots where you push to choose a function like iPod, or DVD, etc. However, rather than having a spot for each function, they have one "function" button and you have to scroll through all the functions, so anytime you want to change from DVD to iPod, for example, you have to scroll through FM, AM, etc. Secondly, the touch sensitive buttons aren't nearly sensitive enough. Sometimes I have to push really hard to try to get the system to react, which is annoying. Also, the system wants to update its software every time you turn it on, which means you have to wait for awhile before you can even get started on that pushing.
These problems are kind of silly -- they would have been so easy to avoid. |

Unreal seperation of channels. Nice system.
|
| Review Date: March 14, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Kirk Kirk, Portland OR |
| I was afraid this system wouldn't be worth it since most movies are still in 5.1 however, the true HD audio does use all 8 channels. Sometimes it is rather chilling on a scary movie when the extra two channels in the rear pick up an unexpected sound. A lot nicer than my old bose 5.1 The picture is also incredible w/ regular and especially blu-ray dvd's. |
Straight up does not work.
|
| Review Date: December 8, 2008 |
| Reviewer: John T., |
| I really can't review this product in terms of its picture quality or 7.1 sound. This is because the player would not play any blu ray discs (which were brand new, from the packaging, purchased specifically for this new player). It played only 2 of 5 DVDs I tested (also brand new). I downloaded the recommended firmware update, burned a firmware update CD, and put it in. Like my other discs, the machine loaded for a while and declared that the firmware disc was unreadable. Great. I am in the process of returning this player. If you want a system that will actually play the blu ray discs and DVDs you enter, this is not it. |
