Panasonic SC-HTB350 Review: 2.1-Channel Home Theater System
For sharp, pure sound, the Panasonic SC-HTB350 is a solid purchase, ringing in at about $299.99. For that, you get multi-positional speakers, which you can either arrange as a horizontal sound bar with a wall-mount system or detach for a tabletop style. The wireless subwoofer means you don’t have to worry about unsightly wires running through the room. The sound features are impressive too. Sound distortion is all but eliminated thanks to the digital amplifier, and movie dialogue is made distinct with a clear mode dialogue setting. Another worthwhile feature is the auto gain control, which prevents sudden changes in volume as the TV changes from a program to commercials. Best of all, Bluetooth enables you to play music from any Bluetooth compatible device, without connecting it to a cable or docking station. For a stylish, modern home theater system, this model is quite appealing.
