Panasonic SC-HTB100 Slim Soundbar for Dynamic Sound with Bluetooth, USB, HDMI and AUX- in Connectivity, Black

Barre de son compatible hdmi arc, je l’ai reçu cabossée

Likes:- small compact unit sits perfectly beneath my Panasonic tv type 40DX600 smart tv, I did not want a powerful 300watt amplifier, I recommend to get the subwoofer which comes with this unit. Set up was easy and I did not have to play around with the tv sound menu to select pcm etc. The sound bar installation does it all for you. It supports Dolby and DTS automatically, but this may be the fact that Panasonic have got the software and installation setup just right, perhaps if you had an other tv type you may have to play around with setting the sound menu to cope with the right audio format. Dislikes:- The sound quality is not great when watching normal programs like the bbc news etc. The sound bar remote control just gives you 3 modes, standard,music, and cinema. All the normal sound options on the tv menu become grayed out when the sound bar switches on. The subwoofer does not come with an on-off switch which was shown on the original design, this would be handy if you just wanted the sound bar on its on. However the system is great on films from like Netflix etc. The rich deep sound is very good for a 120 watt system. The indicating lights on top of the sound bar are not easy to see unless you stand up from your chair in the lounge and the increase/decrease buttons for the subwoofer do not give you a display on the tv, so you do not know what the subwoofer setting is. The sound seems a bit muffled or perhaps on the soft side compared to the original tv speakers, perhaps I just need to get used to it, I have only had the system for 2 days, so my ears have not adjusted to the change in sound mode. I must just update my review after 3 days trying out my new sound system. When I tried to use my FreeViewPlay catchup system on BBC iPlayer or Netflix using the inbuilt apps on my Panasonic 40DX600 tv the playback kept buffering and the sound distorted. When I switched off the sound bar the problem disappeared. I could cast BBC iPlayer using my Chromecast link so the problem was with the sound bar system. By experimenting with the subwoofer position and moving it to the other side of the lounge the problem was resolved. The subwoofer was obviously interfering with the WFI receiver inside my tv when it was too close to the left hand side of the tv. So take note you may have to play around with the subwoofer position to get it just right, and by the way the overall sound improved considerably.

Habe diese Soundbar für meinen Vater bestellt, da er den Fernseher nicht mehr so gut versteht und sich noch weigert ein Hörgerät zu tragen. Er ist begeistert! Die Soundbar kam schnell. Leider hatte sie keinen deutschen Stecker. Hatten wir beim Bestellen übersehen. War mit zwei Adaptern aber schnell aus der Welt geschafft!

I was undecided on whether to buy this for a while (compared to a few others that were similar priced), but decided I needed it as my new Panasonic TV didn't have great speakers......and I'm so glad I took the plunge! The sub is so impressive and the sound quality has improved no end. I find the 'Cinema' setting works best all-round (Gaming and films). I trialled it with Avengers Assemble and it didn't disappoint :D I have my setup in a large front room with very high ceilings and it fills the room easily. Great value for money too, especially when you consider it works with other devices when wanting to play music. One very happy customer!

This really has exceeded all expectations. Recently moved house and didnt want to reinstall the 5.1 system so took a punt on this unit, paired it up with a rubbish Sharp TV with SkyQ as the primary source. The sound quality for TV and Film is excellent, deep bass clear vocals. Volume control is all done through HDMI-CEC with Audio input through HDMI ARC. Bluetooth connectivity is relatively simple and doesn't sound terrible, haven't tested Bluetooth audio past the first day's testing. This review is at a purchase price of £150 but i think i'd be happy at the £170 it is now. Only watchout is the Sub does take a little positioning to avoid it sounding boomy but this wasn't difficult in our room.
