Strengths: Great sound quality, nice looks
Weaknesses: Complicated remote & instructions. Very difficult to get thru to tech support.
Summary: For the $$$ I paid for it (less than 300 after the mail-ins), it looks like a great buy. I have only had it for a day but I am very pleased with it so far.

If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive system with a DVD-VCR combo, go for it. The missing star is only because of the inadequate instructions in the manual.

Strengths: Powerful, Self-powered subwoofer, Stands
Weaknesses: NA
Summary: This is an awesome surround sound home theater system. I previously had another one, and I thought it couldn't get any better in the price range, but I was wrong because the bass on this system blows it away! The speaker stands give a very nice exquisite look to the entire system, and the rear speakers are the perfect size for hanging on the wall. In addition,it comes with a hifi VCR plus a 5 disc DVD changer, and it also has a nice menu for playing MP3 CDs, compared to other systems I've seen.

I would highly recommend this product!

1 Star ReviewPANASONIC 5 DVD/VHS SC-HT830V Disaster
Strengths: Sound is fine. DVD Player portion - works fine.
Weaknesses: Complicated setup. Unit Partly Defective upon initial use. Panasonic Technical Support.
Summary: 2006-09-30 21:46:22 As I write this review, my brand new SC-HT830V Home Theater System is at my local Authorized Panasonic Service Center.

I purchased this item back in November 2005. It was in the box until June 2006. I did not even open up the box until June - when my Panasonic TH-42PX600U television arrived. (Which was technically purchased in 11/05 - see my 42PX600U review.)

Anyway after initial use - I find out that after everything is properly connected - the VHS - is not sending out any Video signal to the TV to which it is connected. Also the FM/AM unit is not working either.

The whole thing is complicated to set up.

I only bought it - because - I still wanted to have a VHS option to use with my home theater system. I should of just purchased a standalone unit.

It seems as combo units are not Panasonic's strong points. My friend has had to bring in 2 of the combo units he has purchased to the Panasonic Authorized service center.

I tell you - what a pain it was to bring the unit and subwoofer to the repair shop - it really sucks that they don't provide in-home service for this item. I really should not be servicing a brand new product.

UPDATE - I took the item in for servicing - apparently my unit was damaged in shipping. Since it took months to open it - because - i was not going to connect the unit until I received my panasonic plasma tv - 42px600u until June - panasonic sent me a new one - and it works...because we could not tell whose fault was the damage they just charged me 120 for the new item.
