There's a fair bit to get through here, so we'd better crack on. The entry-level model is a 3. Setting up is easy — in some ways, easier than it should be. Certainly the colour-coded outputs for the front three speakers and subwoofer make it child's play to get the system functioning, but we'd like a bit more adjustability to picture and sound. The on-screen menus are up to Panasonic's usual standards, though, and the remote control is surprisingly light on buttons when you consider how many different functions the SC-BT can perform.
Without doubt, picture quality is the where the Panasonic is at its strongest. Pictures are stable and sharp — only very rapid motion causes alarms — and carry plenty of detail in all but the darkest scenes. Those dark tones are deep and lustrous, whites are acceptably clean and the overall palette is nicely judged. A switch down in quality — both literally and figuratively — to a DVD of Knocked Up brings the inevitable erosion of picture quality, but the Panasonic generally holds up well. There's some picture noise evident in particularly testing scenes, and black detail becomes less abundant more impenetrable, but edge definition, depth of field, motion tracking and upscaling are all competitive with budget-orientated DVD players.
So far, so good, but now we get to the vexed question of sound quality. What grabs you first is the astonishing amount of detail packed into the image, which the P4HD processing brings to the screen with no noise whatsoever — there are loads of excellent examples during the movie but stand-outs include the scene in which Sandman first gathers himself together, or the shot of The Daily Bugle building at the start of chapter The BonusView functionality is flawlessly integrated.
The system can also produce sweet, cohesive sound quality that convincingly conveys the extra resolution of lossless movie soundtracks. We also tried out the wireless rears and they deliver surround effects and ambience with pleasing clarity, plus the wireless connection seems robust. The 5.
