Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
One of the exceptionally fine aspects of HDTV is that most programs are broadcast with a 5.1 channel surround soundtrack. Panasonic SC-PT660 is an easy way to enjoy it. With the Wireless Kit for Rear Speakers (SH-FX67 sold separately), no cables mean no clutter. You can also expand your music listening into three additional rooms with the wireless multi-room speaker kit (SH-FX85 sold separately). Play your favorite music from your home theater's built-in hard drive in your living room and listen to it in your bedroom, in the den, or even in the garage. The front pair and center speakers are simply wired to the receiver that also has a DVD changer and an AM/FM radio. With 1000 watts of RMS power, home-theater is fully realized. Sit back and enjoy.

The built-in Universal Dock for iPod gives you a great new way to enjoy music and (composite) video. Just slip your iPod into the cradle and enjoy. The dock charges your iPod, allows you to use the home theater remote to control the iPod, has on-screen audio menus, and also plays back iPod video. Got a Panasonic Viera TV? VIERA Link displays a menu on the TV screen, making it easier to operate your connected home theater system. Whatever HDTV you own, it's time to upgrade your sound and the Panasonic SC-PT660 is the best way to start it up. Rear Wireless Ready with the purchase of a SH-FX67 Wireless Speaker Kit Surround Enhancer Magnetically Shielded Speakers Inputs - 1 optical digital audio, 1 auxiliary input / Outputs - 1 component video, 1 video, HDMI and 1 headphone jack

4 out of 5 stars Panasonic PT660 - Great Value   December 1, 2008

I purchased the Home Theater System based on use/performance/price for our open floor plan kitchen/family room (approx. 22 x 18). This system is more than adequate and impressive. Setup was simple and straight forward. I was disappointed that Panasonic 'saved' 3 cents by not finishing one side of the sub woofer cabinet - there is a particle board side that is visible if you face the sub woofer speaker forward. (A call to the store highlighted that forward positioning of speaker is not needed for sub woofers since it is a very low frequency speaker). And, due to no fault of system, I can achieve improved sound by purchasing the wireless remote system ... checking prices as we speak.

Would I buy again or recommend this system - Yes ... and I have purchased a second system for a gift.



5 out of 5 stars Awesome Sound and Picture   December 1, 2008

This is an awesome set. The sound is great and the picture is outstanding. I have an lcd tv and this added so much clarity to my dvds and the surround sound has so many great settings for the different kinds of movies I watch. I don't have too many Panasonic products but this system made me to decide to look into their other products.

I wanted something relatively small and easy to use (like a Bose), but refused pay major Bose $$ for a product with a poor reliability record.
The Panasonic is easy to set up and sounds great. Also purchased the Panasonic SH-FX85 Wireless Multi-Room and it also meets my expectations.

The receiver plays all DVds with no problem, and it has a decent sound, but that's where it ends. The sub is very flimsy with distorted bass. As for the wattage it does good to put out fifteen watts total. My TV gets much louder. Unless you live in an apartment with old folks all around you I would not recommend it.

This is a nice looking system by far but I never got to enjoy it. I got everything set up and when I went to turn the power on it made a bunch of not so good sounds.. and the on the display said CHGR ERR. Which means the disc changer is jammed. Did what the book told me to do when this message pops up which is turn the power off and back on to reset it. So I did and the same message and grinding sounds. I called their tech support number they told me to get it serviced at this oe place that is an authorized repair shop over 2 hours from where I live. That means I would have to spend that time driving there and back twice (once to drop it off and then to pick it up) 8 hours of my week gone right there. I just contacted amazon.com and I'm returning it for no cost on the shipping. Save me some gas money this way.

All in all it's a very nice system but if you are going to get a 5 disc changer get it with a large drawer instead of these ones that stack the disc on top off each other mainly for this reason they seem to jam alot. I had a 5 disc changer with the large disc drawer that was like a tunrtable type and it lasted me 7 years before it died and it was great. My stereo system has a a stackable disc changer like this dvd sytem has and after only 6 months it started jamming all the time. I do not reccomend this system at all unless it's for looks!!!
