Question: Would this be an ideal soundbar for my 42in panasonic viera? Noticed people are getting this for 47in or higher.. Thank you in advance.
Document: I really like this sound system. Would bought it to go with our Panasonic Viera Smart TV (50&#34;) b/c the sound in that TV is quite poor. This is a wonderful sound bar - we set it up as separate upright speakers on either side of the TV, and it's great. Nice crisp, clear sound - not the most advanced audio out there, but more than adequate for our simple needs.
The widest soundbars are only about 42", whereas my 70" TV is well over 60" wide. Allowing the soundbar to split into traditional satellite speakers was a huge benefit to me both aesthetically and for the sake of getting decent stereo sound.Speaking of sound, these speakers are as good as can be expected. They are leaps and bounds better than built-in TV speakers, but they're not high-end either.
I am very pleased with this product, this system can really pump out the volume and was a great addition to my home theater.I would like to point out a few things for people who are thinking to buy this:- The system does not come with an optical cable or A/V cables.
I'm no techie audiophile who's all nutty over bass, treble, etc. In fact, I have no idea what they do or sound like. All I wanted was a way to improve the volume level of my TV (Panasonic Viera TC-L50E60) and this has done exactly that. The bluetooth feature is great and easy to sync (for me - it is to an iphone). This has no HDMI input so don't worry about lack of ARC, digital audio via toslink is all that is needed.
This is the second Panasonic Soundbar/Subwoofer I've had in the last 3 years. The first one lasted for about 15 months. The warranty is only 12 months so I attempted to have it fixed locally. That didn't work and I didn't want to stand the expense of sending it to Texas to have it fixed, so I ordered the SC-HTB370. Six months after I set up the SC-HTB370 the remote quit.
Great value for the price. System sounds great and is much larger than the picture looks. Very easy setup as well. Some others commented that they do not ship an optical cable so I had one ready when it arrived. Some people also mentioned not having control of treble and bass. While you cant change the treble you can adjust the volume of the woofer with a separate volume control on the remote and is more powerful than I thought it would be.
I purchased this soundbar to enhance the sound of my Panasonic television, which as everyone has said, has really poor sound quality. I am so glad that I purchased this soundbar because I can finally hear the richness in the sound when watching anything on TV. I used to have to watch shows with closed-captioning just to hear the 'quiet dialogs' but now I don't have to do that anymore. I can watch most of my favorite shows (cable and streaming) without any issues.
Does just what I had hoped it would do for me. It isn't a high level perfect sound reproducer, but from the specs one could not expect it to satisfy the hardened audiophile. What it does do is make the flat TV sound much better. Before I could only really hear my Panasonic 47&#34; flat screen if the sound was at maximum volume, and then the sound was poor, thin, and tinny.
Bought this to augment a Panasonic flat screen believing that brand-specific components would work better together. Not really. There is latency between the set speakers and the sound bar that makes them unusable together, and turning off the TV speakers also disables any features there. The sound bar itself sounds tinny--no midrange. The remote woofer adds very little to the overall sound quality.This was very disappointing.
Sad but that's how the engineers designed this unit when they were sitting right in front of the unit testing. No one ever questioned the convenience once it's actually placed inside a real home. Also, they could have made it so that we can also use our regular panasonic TV remote to control the volume but that too would be too smart. Overall, I've very happy with the purchase as I do use if daily and I would recommend it at the 179 price that I paid three months ago.
Answer: I think it would be perfect for any Panasonic TV. Just make sure you either have an unused HDMI port or use the optical connection (you have to purchase the cable separately but I found one on here for under $15.
