Because all of the channel data are recorded discretely, Dolby Digital offers good channel separation and little sound deterioration due to the digital channel data processing. It conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo, and there is a discrete subwoofer channel.

4 out of 5 stars superstar of shelf systems.......2006-07-06

i have only had it for about a month and so far its been great i have heard all brands of shelf systems and this one is the best yet you can crank it all the way up with no distortion the only drawback is if something happens to the remote your in trouble because you cant control nothin without it the cd dvd changer drawers do look flimsey but so far no problem in short if you want a nice system for the bedroom or office this is the one.

3 out of 5 stars OK, but.......2006-02-27

If you purchase this system, be prepared to also buy a powered sub if you want any sort of decent bass reponse. This system is ok for a bedroom, or if sound quality is not important.

3 out of 5 stars Great, but . . ........2006-01-28

We use this system for our home stereo/DVD player and have owned it for a little more than a year. The picture and sound quality are great, and the dialogue enhancer more than compensates for not having a center channel speaker. (You can actually understand the dialogue without turning the sound way up.)

The catch is that the CD/DVD tray mechanism has now broken for a second time under normal operation. The first time was under warranty, and Panasonic was good about setting us up with a repair shop, but now it's out of warranty and we are on our own. We bought it new, so I'm more than a little disappointed that it's broken twice in about a year.

5 out of 5 stars Very good sound.......2005-12-06

Not an audiophile, but this stereo sounds very good. I was concerned about the durability of the CD/DVD exchanger (bad experiences with jvc and phillips bookshelf systems where the cd cartridges stop working after a couple of years), but this system appears to work much more smoothly, and the loading and unloading mechanism is not as noisy as those (presumably due to fewer moving parts). DVDs look great (hooked up to older sony wega via s-video cable) and play smoothly even though not in the best of shape (from the library). Very pleased so far.

5 out of 5 stars Very nice toy--Can play any disk you have, for only $165.......2005-09-27

The best thing about this toy is that it can play any disk you insert into it. So I can listen to CD, HDCD, songs and stories from video CD and DVD for my kid, mp3, CD-RW, even JPEG (to TV), you name it.

Nice features: 5 CD changer, AM and FM tuner, even cassette player and recorder. It has everything.
