If you have been having trouble finding an HTiB at a low price point which does a good job with music as well, look into one of these. Despite few reviews online, I took a gamble and purchased these. I have been extremely happy with my purchase so far. I had purchased a samsung ht-z4200 which sounded good with movies but horrible with music. I then thought about replacing the samsung with a sony ht-ss2300. So, I went to the store to listen to the ht-s360 which proves to be again good with movies but poor in music.
This panasonic system is very musical. I am able to listen to everything from classical to classic rock to pop to hip hop to jazz. They all sound great with these speakers and these are running at a very low price point now.

Purchased this system from 6ave.com and arrived within 2 days ($188 plus free shipping). Currently have this connected to a 42″ Panasonic Plasma, Sony Blu-Ray, XBOX 360 and Wii – receiver has plenty of connections. Compared to other HTIB options, I would rate the speakers as above average and the Sub as very powerful. Receiver has the ability to play lossless sound decoded from Blu-Ray player for tremendous movie audio. The receiver is “intelligent” in that it switches to standby mode when my television is turned off. Only small negative would be the rear speaker wire is short in length although most people will probably upgrade the wires anyways. Having the flexibility to make the rear speakers wireless is also a great feature (additional equipment needed). I compared this to both the Sony HT-SS2300 and HT-S360 all of which are made for an existing Blu-Ray/DVD player and for the money chose this Panasonic system….it has not disappointed and I HIGHLY recommend it.

I purchased this system when it was on sale at 6ave.com for $188 shipped. It is a great entry level system. I am no audiophile but I think this system sounds great in my house. I purchased it to hookup to my PS3 (for movies and games) and TV. I hooked it up to the TV using an optical out cable from my TV to the Panasonic SC-HT56. I have my PS3 running to the Panasonic SC-HT56 via HDMI and then HDMI from the Panasonic SC-HT56 to my Samsung LN52A630. I really like the fact that I can have the SC-HT56 powered off and still run my PS3 just fine and have the audio come through my TV speakers (wife insist on this when the twins are sleeping downstairs). I also noticed that when I have my Samsung LN52A630 and the SC-HT56 powered ON, that if I hit the power button on my Samsung TV remote it also powers OFF the SC-HT56. This is nice as it saves me having to grab one more remote to power off the SC-HT56. When I power ON my Samsung TV with the TV remote it has no effect on the SC-HT56. I have friends that have spent way more than me on their surround sound systems, and I can tell that theirs do produce a better sound than mine, but not enough for me to justify spending the $600-$1000+ that they spent on their systems. I am very happy with this setup.

PROS:
- Crisp sound with movies and music. Bass is strong but not muddy. Surround sound creates accurate 3D environment.
- HDMI switching!
- Both video and audio passes through the receiver when it is off to the TV which means that you can use the TV speakers instead if needed.
- Conventional speaker connectors which allows you to upgrade your equipment. (not proprietary like many other HTIBs)
- Supplied Speaker wires are adequate in length.
- Video/Audio Inputs are as follows: 2 HDMI In, 2 Optical In, 1 Coax In, 3 Analog In.
- $200 HTIB bought on 6Ave site! Why would anyone buy computer speakers?CONS:
- Supplied speaker wires are 22 AWG.
- Subwoofer’s speaker wire is permanently attached so it cannot be upgraded but you can buy a Powered Subwoofer to replace it. (This subwoofer is passive but I think its adequate for a mid size or smaller living room space.)
- Setup Microphone length is only about 10 feet long.
- Remote control functions are a little weird which takes time to get used to.CONCLUSION:

- This HTIB is definitely the best bang for your money that can rival others which cost $500+. I am totally happy with the $200 that I have spent here. Worth every penny!

It is a home theater out of a box…..and you know what who cares???? It is fantastic sound. I use to have a panasonic dvd surround sound where people were constantly complimenting it. Not the biggest fan of the five disc thing however,….but it was still a great wireless 5.1 system. I decided to take the leap into blu-ray. It did not connect to my current dvd system so of course being the nerd that I am I purchased this system to hook up to my blu-ray. ANd I cannot tell you how impressed I am. It is flawless. I loved my dvd system but this makes that old system a child wearing its respectful dunce cap, in the corner with tear ducts aplenty. It just makes the quality of sound seem so professional. So crisp. It is seriously like you are in the movie theater. (insert spaniard voice) I NO Lie! I Truth! The system is amazing for price, forget price it’s just amazing. The set up is a little confusing at times but not too too bad. And I wanted the 7.1 kit or the SC-BT 100 kit, to become a super loser,..but alas they did not have the wireless kit available. It seems it is selling out. You will need an extra HDMI cable and if you go the route of speaker stands investigate cause some won’t fit with certain systems. ANd I actually make shifted mine to work cause I bought the stands without investigating. But I guess if worse comes to worse you can make shift it to fit like me. I realize I’m going off track here but trying to give you all the info you need,….and with that rambling explanation I think I be done.
