RE: Panasonic Home Cinema in a box - SCHT-70

Now, when you look at it from that point of view, i can see why not to buy!
Insightful Andrew!

RE: Panasonic Home Cinema in a box - SCHT-70

See what u mean - i never really use my VCR anyway - just me other half taping trash off sky and soaps too.
I will do this as u suggest, then at least get a sharp picture from DVD.
I am picking up my DVD player this weekend - i got some Yamaha surround speakers (5) and a sub, with a Yamaha processor.
I think i will go for the Toshiba DVD as you suggested, but i have seen a Sony also, but i wanna see them both in action B4 i buy.
Don`t knock Diesels Bowf! - as u said, u can get some crackin diesel motors now - my mates dad has a BMW 330 d - its almost as quick a the 330 ci!!!
Also - i like the 155 Alfa`s - pretty quick - u seen the 2.5 V6 version?? What a piece of engineering!!

RE: Panasonic Home Cinema in a box - SCHT-70

Ahhh...i see now! doh what a moron.
Ive only used my TV with a VCR, SKY and PS2 so far - but it is clear now.
Cool - i think i have an idea of where iam heading now :)

Cheers Bowf - i`ll ave to buy ya a pint or 27 if u r in the sunny north sometime (don`t quote me on that!!).

RE: Panasonic Home Cinema in a box - SCHT-70

Bowf - thanx mate - u have helped - i know a little more now - i suppose its just like buying hifi seperates - i wouldnt touch a multiplay cd player either.
Anyway -i really apprciate your help - hopefully make my purchase tommorrow - there is a Richer Sounds store a few miles away from me, so i pay them a visit, aswell as checking out the sites you suggested.

>RGB...
Is this the red/white/yellow audio + video lead?

Is this better quality picture than S-Video lead?

RE: Panasonic Home Cinema in a box - SCHT-70

I know - they have come down in price a lot - i wanted one from day one, think they were around 15k. Cheaper now though - lotta car for not a lotta money - and the understeer in the wet is the same with my 16V - too much power - the tyres wont grip! - i`ve tried my hardest to get the back end out on a couple of occasions but no result. ah well.

By the way - this was the Panasonic system i was looking at:

How do i tell if its a multi region player?
Will it affect my choice of DVD`s? (i only buy from HMV etc at the moment)

RE: Panasonic Home Cinema in a box - SCHT-70

Thanks for the info - i am checking out some gear today in my local hifi store. I am gonna see if i can get some demo`s of some equipment. I will keep an eye out for the equipment u guys mentioned above - thankx again.
>Bowf - i have a `95 Clio 16V - the one with the air intake in the bonnet and the flaired arches. The 172 is a nice car - faster than mine - im after one next or maybe a Williams 2 or 3.

Le Mans

Does anyone know where i can get a copy of Le Mans (starring Steve Mcqueen) on DVD? Is it even available on DVD?

Hope someone knows, as i need to see those 70`s Gulf Porsche`s and Ferrari`s racing again...

RE: Panasonic Home Cinema in a box - SCHT-70

Yeah - i reckon so too - X-Box will be out so Sony will try to compete..

The Panasonic includes 4 speakers, a centre speaker, a sub, and an intergrated Amp/dolby Pro Logic processor/DVD/CD player (5 Disc) all for £499 - i dunno though......i will look at some of the other threads as u suggested. Thanks man!!!

Panasonic Home Cinema in a box - SCHT-70

I am new to this forum - just registered today - so hello everyone.

Anyway, i am looking at buying a DVD player and surround speakers.
I have a PS2, but the DVD player with this is ok, but not spectacular.

I have seen the Panasonic `Home Cinema in a box` (SCHT-70 - see www.panasonic.co.uk) and wondered if anyone has one, knows what the unit is like - good/bad etc.

The package is £499.99 - is this a good starter kit? or would you recommend something else?

Please help!!
