Panasonic SC-MT1
$399.95
Released January, 2003
The Pros:Sound effects and dialog sound great from these speakers. Playback of a good variety of compressed audio file formats built in. DVD playback results in a very sharp, clear, well-rendered picture.
The Cons:Always takes at least 10 seconds to load a disc, pauses when you want to eject or turn the unit on/off. No true digital input/output. Not enough power output for a larger room.
The SC-MT1 is an entry-level DVD home theater system from Panasonic, currently discontinued. Four satellite speakers output 30W each, a center speaker outputs 110W, and a 140W subwoofer rounds out the 370W 5.1-channel system, adequate for small-to-medium-size rooms, but potentially disappointing to buyers seeking powerful performance from the rear and side speakers.

The speakers and DVD player feature a silvery gray finish and a small form factor ideal for placement on a crowded bookshelf. The DVD player includes basic home theater functionality -- Dolby Digital, Pro Logic, and DTS decoding, and support for JPEG/MP3/WMA CDs, in addition to progressive-scan DVD playback. All speakers are magnetically shielded so that they do not interfere with the TV's signal.
