Score 9.0/10+ Great looks, love the ipod dock, superb surround sound watching films. I also have an Optical linking it to my Sky HD Box and play everything through it now. Spot on for the music channels. I took a chance and purchased 2 of these at the same time when i told my mate about how cheap they were. he is also more than pleased with it. Cant comment on more pricey options but if you want good quality sound at a very good price dont go down the road of spending a fortune. The rear speaker cable length was not a problem for me either, (15') room.
- None for me yet....

For the money you cannot complain considering there are similar systems out there that are much more expensive and in my opinion offer very little difference in sound quality.
I have a 42" Panasonic Plasma TV and setting up is very simple using the Viera link functionality.
Be sure to have a HDMI lead and if like me are running Cable which on my box does not have HDMI capability then additional audio leads will be required.
- The rear speakers have a limited amount of speaker wire, fortunately I have just enough but larger rooms will require wire extending.

- there are 2 bad things about this product which are that the speaker wire is fixed into the speakers so you are unable to buy better speaker wire for the system and there is only 1 HDMI input.

Peter, Lochwinnoch
Score 9.0/10+ Very good value for a Product that works well and integrates with other Panasonic Viera-linked equipment effectively. Great sound in all modes: iPod, FM Radio & TV. (Worth a careful read (and re-read!) oif the Manual to extract the best sound quality and set up.). Sound effect from this Unit greatly enhances the overall enjoyment of watching TV. Overall an excellent Unit and strongly recommended.
- Speaker cables have relatively large flat moulded plugs which makes any rerouting through speaker stands, wall cavities unnecessarily difficult. Unable to disconnect cable at Speaker end as they are held in a resin internallly to the Speaker, so difficult to increase/shorten speaker cable for a neat installlation. The iPod facility is most useful, although the default iPod display via the TV is somewhat clumsy: much better via the iPod itself although initially difficult via the remote to achieve this (hint: press 'Function' key ... read the Manual !).

- complex to set up for different audio inputs , speakers are poor quality.

David, Reading
Score 8.0/10+ As above
-
Wires into the speakers could be designed in such a way as to plug out of the speaker.
Had to cut and rejoin the wires to run them through the ceiling - a simple pull out plug would have made installation a lot easier.

A rigid, low-density bamboo material used in the center speaker’s diaphragms helps achieve a clean, responsive sound. Vocals are pure and clear, and dialog is crisp and easy to understand.
Creating an HD image from a non-HD source, it requires obtain as much information as possible about each pixel in the original image. In the up-conversion process, the PT-860 calculates eight pixels in the horizontal direction and eight in the vertical direction at the same time using a high-speed algorithm. The information obtained in this process is used to create smooth, natural-looking, high-resolution 1080p images.

There are no iPod or USB cables to connect, so it’s super easy and your room stays tidy and uncluttered. Panasonic’s home cinema sound system is a great way to listen to the music on your iPod. The list of songs on your iPod can be displayed on the TV screen, and you can use the remote control from the home theater or a VIERA TV to select and play them.
