Panasonic SC-HT1000 Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder Home Theater System description
The Panasonic SC-HT1000, which integrates its progressive-scan DVD player/recorder with a 5.1-channel surround-sound system, turns your living room into a comprehensive home theater while also giving you the capacity to record in DVD-RAM and DVD-R formats. The progressive-scan feature guarantees the sharpest picture quality possible for DVD-Video, with a signal that offers double the scan lines of conventional DVD images when played on high-definition or HD-ready TVs. The system also offers DVD-Audio compatibility, letting it reproduce the wide frequency range and impressive signal-to-noise ratio of the enhanced audio format. DVD movies sound terrific due to the built-in Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Pro Logic II decoders, which deliver a remarkably natural sense of ambiance and realism.

The SC-HT1000 runs at 430 watts of total power: 35 watts for the two front "tallboy" speakers and two surround speakers, 140 watts for the center channel, and 150 watts for the subwoofer. The tallboy speakers come with detachable stands that adjust to the height of your TV screen, putting them in the proper position for optimum theater sound. In addition, each of the speakers is magnetically shielded to protect the picture from distortion. Compatible media formats include DVD-Audio, DVD-Video, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, CD, CD-R/RW, Video CD, and MP3. Other features include an integrated AM/FM digital tuner, a cinema mode, a dialogue enhancer, and 54 MHz/10-bit video digital-to-analog conversion. The system carries a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

What's in the Box
DVD player/recorder, two slim "tallboy" speakers, two OmniCast surround speakers, center channel speaker, subwoofer, requisite cabling, universal remote, and user's manual.

♥♥♥♥ SC-HT1000
At least I'm reviewing the system in question and not the SC-HT700 or another Panasonic system with a VCR, as two of the other reviewers did.

I've had this system for 2 years now, and I'm quite happy with it. It's been very reliable. Sound is decent, for what it is: a home theater in a box. Sound options are good: Dolby digital, Prologic, ability to accentuate the center channel, equalizer, etc. It's not for audiophiles, but is quite adequate for my ears. Recording on DVDs and DVD-RAMs is better than my old VCR recording (duh). The flexible recording option is nice, as the machine optimizes compression based on the set recording time. I now use the system to record off my DVR so that I can unload the hard drive, and it works well for this, producing compatible DVDs. It has a satisfactory number of inputs: I have off-air and satellite TV, VCR, and network music stream hooked in, and my son uses the front inputs for some games.

Overall, a good system for the price.
