Not only does this product perform well, but the value for under $400 I don't think can be beat. Look no further if you want to enjoy the surround experience. Some other reviews complained about the wireless rears, but mine appear to be working fine.

We have had the home theater for about 2 weeks. Walmart had the best price, bar none. Saw the same exact system recently in an ad for Best Buy and they were $100 more than Walmart and that was after $115 savings so there normal price was $225 more than Walmart. Set up was very easy. The only complaints I have is that the rear speakers are not truly wirless as one is lead to believe. There is a wireless receiver you place in back of room and then run speaker wire to it. The rear speakers could also be a bit louder than they are (even when turned all the way up). The CD/DVD changer takes some getting used to as far as loading and unloading the discs. I haven't gotten the part down yet where you can load and unload discs while another is playing. I thought I was following all the correct steps in manual but every time I try to do this, all trays open including one playing. Kind of frustrating but maybe I just need to reread manual and practice. Subwoofer puts out some serious bass! Has 3 different levels as well as a boost. We have it in a pretty small room so not sure if a large family room would make it seem a little lacking or not. All in all we have been very happy with this product but this is our first home theater so I really have nothing to compare it to. I would recommend it to anyone especially for the Walmart price!

This product is everything that it claims to be except that the wireless surround is not truly wireless but it sounds great especially when coupled with a panasonic tv. The viera link is very usefull and really add space to your room when you replace the much larger speakers with this product. I would give it a four and one half star rating.

Easy setup. Able to connect with iPhone 3G; however if you have an Incase slider cover, you will need to remove the case which is kind of a hassle. Could use one extra audio input. Display menu is horrible and not very user friendly (neither is the instruction manual), but once you have your audio/video settings set there isn't much need to go back and reset anything. The humming/buzzing sound is hardly noticeable unless you are right up on the speakers. The FM antenna provided is garbage, might want to pick up another one if radio is important to you. Good sound, decent video output, for the price it's a great value.

I was comparing this site and bestbuy. I went with bestbuy because the only way of recieving this product from walmart was through delivery, but I was upset about bestbuys price. I went to bestbuy their price was Reg. Price:$514.99 You Save:$51.50 Sale:$463.49,which is still higher. But then I saw an openbox special for 299.99. Myself and the rep looked at the insides. Everything was there. Infact still brand new! It also had another price for 469.99. I like the product alot. I use it with my 360. Definitely get hdmi cables! Not bad for walmarts price!

Good By Best Buy, hello Walmart
The Panasonic Home Theater was definitely a good buy, wireless rear speakers work great, but needs to be within the recommended 30 ft from receiver with no interference between the wireless unit and receiver. Rear speakers do not need to be loud and only activate when programmed properly (balancing sound levels) They are for background noise from the TV program or DVD. I hope this helps the other person that seemed to have concerns about the wireless speakers

This system is nice, sounds pretty good but the wireless speakers are OVER RATED. They are not loud at all, and there is some light static at times but overall its a nice system. The look is so awesome, I have a flat screen mounted over the fire place and the system looks great but I cannot figure out how to use my ps3 and hd receiver from the system without unplugging the audio cables and plugging in the one I want to use. I know its a way to control everything from the receiver.

Great product, big full sound without needing BIG speakers & expensive speaker wiring. Really like rear (satellite) speakers not requiring dedicated wiring all the way out from the main console. PS, ship to store feature is great, everyone at store very helpful and accommodating.

product is overall good, easy to set up, and not a bad price for a 1250 watt system. Though I was a little dissapointed to find out that the wireless rear speakers aren't exactly "wireless". You have to connect them to a wireless receiver which has to plug into a wall. I think their definition of wireless meant separate from the base, not "zero" wires. Sound is good, easy to understand, adjustable bass and the tower speakers make it easier to put them at ear level. It would've been a 5 star rating if it wasnt for the rear speakers.

I have enjoyed the system for about 4 months now and its incredible. Sounds great! Only problem I've had is with the wireless-speaker and my internet. The speaker signals mess up the internet, but this is currently being fixed.

Wireless unit for rear speakers makes wiring a lot easier. Subwoofer needed to be turned down to medium level. Plenty of bass for even the most demanding customer. Overall great sound quality. Would recommend this unit to friend.

I bought an LCD tv to go in a beach house and needed a sound system to go with it. I got this one because it has a wireless rear speaker system and an IPOD dock---both very useful features for me. Very good sound quality for the size room it is in.
