The Panasonic SC-PT650 home theater system is a Feature-packed, budget-priced home theater. Just like the more expensive models in Panasonic’s range, the SC-PT650 delivers 1080p upconversion over its HDMI connection as well as an iPod dock. It includes tiny speakers, and a small but powerful subwoofer; slim-line AV receiver/five-disc DVD changer and XM Satellite radio ready. Overall sound quality on music and movies is good with its microsized subwoofer packs. The Panasonic SC-PT650 is a silver receiver/five-disc DVD changer stands a little under 3 inches high and a bit less than 17 inches wide and deep. The front panel’s small buttons and controls are fairly easy to see and use, while the DVD changer mechanism performs smoothly. Loading and unloading discs are quite fast and quiet. But the receiver doesn’t have a volume control knob on the other hand there is an up/down volume button. The main front and surround speakers are about 5.5 inches tall; the center speaker is about 10.5 inches wide. The subwoofer has a molded silver plastic front baffle and bass port, and is just 7 inches tall by 16.7 inches wide by 10.1 inches deep, and weighs merely 8.8 pounds. The speakers and sub come with permanently attached cables, with stripped, bare wire ends. These satellite speakers may be small, but they deliver a surprisingly ample sound. The SC-PT650’s DVD player can upscale video to 720p, 1080i, and 1080p via its HDMI jack. The universal iPod dock will support iPods with a dock connection. Included with the system are plastic dock adapters which will fit most of the varying iPod sizes. The dock connects to the unit via a proprietary connection interface and performs well. The SC-PT650 also supports MP3, JPEG, and WMA playback from a data CD. The Panasonic SC-PT650 is a satisfactory home theater system.

  2. First Look: Panasonic SC-PT650 Home Theater System

    BTW, I should mention that "popular" speakers don't necessarily mean you will get great sound.  But in the case of the SC-PT650, you will get some nice features and adequate sound quality for the price.  Oh, and did you see that this thing is 1000 watts!  Well, that particular rating doesn't really mean "quality" either.  Thankfully, Panasonic included the FTC power rating of 428 watts, but not everyone does.  In any case, if this is your upper limit for price, then...
