Pioneer HTZ-BD32 Blu-ray Home Theater System Review
It’s got just about everything you’d want, as far as features are concerned, but this package probably won’t please a picky home theater buff.
It’s got just about everything you’d want, as far as features are concerned, but this package probably won’t please a picky home theater buff.
Add some big sound to that big picture with Panasonic’s 3D-capable Blu-ray home theater system.
VIZIO steps up to the bar with this powered soundbar with wireless subwoofer and rear speakers for simple yet discrete 5.1 channel surround.
Panasonic adds a little pizazz, as well as wireless speakers and networking, to its instant 5.1-channel Blu-ray 3D HTiB home theater solution.
Panasonic’s first Blu-ray 3D Home Theater in a Box packs a lot of features into a small (and low-priced) package.
A lot of people have tried proprietary ways to deliver an enveloping audio experience from a single box, but ZVOX has been using their PhaseCue approach for several years now and–spoiler alert!–it works, better than ever with the addition of digital inputs.
This step-up from Panasonic’s entry-level SC-BT230 HTiB offers larger main speakers, a more powerful subwoofer and automated audio calibration, but mostly the same strengths and weaknesses.
Panasonic’s latest entry in the budget Blu-ray home theater in a box category packs a punch for remarkably little coin.
A few minor caveats aside, the HT-C6500 is an impressive package and an incredible value.
JVC’s 4.1 channel soundbar system packs a wireless subwoofer, a simple-but-effective remote and considerable bang for the buck.
