Good for the garbage bin - Don't waste your money.......2006-01-29

I agree with all the reviewers below. This equipment looks great on paper. You seem to get great features for the money. But just like other people, the system we bought showed problems playing some DVDs ~8months after opening the box. It would play only some DVDs and music CDs. And after a year, it doesn't play anything at all.

The sound is not that great as they tell you either. Ok, if you stand at a specific distance from your speakers, and you place them so that they ALL face you... Then you hear ok. But just move a few centimeters from this blessed spot and it doesn't sound better than my laptop speakers. And you can't understand dialogues unless you push the volume to the point that all my neighbors can tell I am watching a movie.

Don't waste your money and time with this piece of crap.

NEVER Buy this!. Stops working after 1-2 years.......2005-07-09

I bought a HT700 two years ago and initially I liked it, played great. After 2 years it stoped playing all music CDs. Both mp3 and original audio CDs. Couple of months after that, it stopped playing 50% of blockbuster DVDs. I have a 5 year old $75 samsung player, that still plays great all kind of stuff. I don't think it's just the problem with this one panasonic system. It's all of Panasonic. It's just a piece of low quality stuff. They are just trying to sell to american market this piece of junk. Never buy any panasonic anymore unless you want keep buying every two years!!.

Don't waste your money or time.......2005-07-05

My husband and I bought this system as our first try at a Home Theatre System. I'm not particular about speaker size or volume capabilities, unlike my husband. Needless to say, 800W of power for under $300 appealed to both of us. We bought this system in May '04. It worked great...for a few months. Then it stopped playing our DVD-Rs and DVDs. We brought it to the local repair shop and it took over two weeks for Panasonic to "diagnose" the problem and replace the laser/tray. Mind you, we had tried the online troubleshooting method--completely worthless. And, we called customer support--completely worthless. Unfortunately, here we are about 6 months after replacing the tray, and its not playing our DVDs again. I'm fed up. My 10 month old is frustrated becuase Mommy can't let him watch Baby Einstein and my husband is about to smash this crap system into a million pieces. So, long story short--don't waste your time with this system, spend the extra money and get a quality system from Sony or JVC...that's what I'm going to do.

Failed within the 1st week.......2005-04-14

This piece of junk failed within the first week. I sent it to a Panasonic Repair Center and after 3 weeks they couldn't repair it and now I have to sent it to the East Coast. I spent $300 for a product that not even the PANASONIC repair center can repair!!! Their warranty is worth absolutely nothing!!!

STAY AWAY FROM PANASONIC! THIS PRODUCT IS ABSOLUTE JUNK. IT IS SO BAD THAT PANASONIC REPAIR CENTERS CANNOT REPAIR IT!!!!

Not a quality product.......2005-01-18

This system has several design flaws. One is the remote control design - intermittent at best. Another is the tray design. It misaligns itself, and scrapes up the disks inside. Do not buy this product. Panasonic needs to go back to the drawing board on this one. This really should have 0 stars, but that was not an option. A waste of time here.
