Panasonic SC-PT170 DVD Home Cinema System
In typical Panasonic style they have gone for the more understated design, safe in the knowledge that many people do not want their home cinema system to grab too much of the attention in the home dιcor stakes, but to subtly blend in.
The PT170 certainly does that, with its four surround speakers coming in at just under 130mm high and 92mm wide they are certainly going to be easy to position. The centre speaker is similarly sized but is designed to be placed on the horizontal rather than vertically.
The subwoofer is also quite narrow at 136mm wide, but is much higher and deeper at 339mm and 213mm respectively.
The size of the speakers does not seem to be a barrier to performance though and even these little speakers kick out a decent 55W RMS, and sound very good for their limited dimensions.
The combined DVD player and amplifier unit is also a very smart looking unit, and owners of Panasonic televisions will find the style matches perfectly. In fact, because of its fairly conservative styling, the design will go with most modern televisions, whatever their make.
Panasonic television owners will however see the benefit of the built in Viera Link and be able to use the on screen navigation and set up.
There are plenty of connections options with HDMI, scart, optical as well as a USB socket for digital music.
The Panasonic SC-PT170 also has green credentials with power output being reduced by 20% over the previous model, the SC-PT160, and on standby mode, this power reduction is 50% a very worthwhile improvement.
