Excellent sounding home cinema experience. This was purchased to compliment my new panasonic vierra 4k tv tx-65dx902b as it supports 4k pass through. It is supplied in an extremely large box which is mainly packaging. Once opened the soundbar is a smart and quite compact item along with the subwoofer. Very easy to set up two power leads and a hdmi cable (not supplied) to connect from the soundbar to the arc enabled hdmi socket of the tv. As soon as i switched it on, a brief pause as the tv volume muted, the soundbar system activated. I was then able to control the volume using the tv remote control. There is also a small remote supplied which you can use to change the mode amongst other things, but you need to get up close to the soundbar to read the digital display. The sound is exhilarating and totally brings to life anything on the screen. I was was watching tv at the standard setting and changed to cinema mode to watch a blu-ray film.

Panasonic sc-ht880ebk soundbar with wireless sub. . This would have got 5 stars if only the so called 3d surround feature actually worked. This is a great piece of kit, it has a very clear sound, speech is easy to hear and understand. It also has a decent amount of bass from the simple wireless sub. It has plenty of features for setting up the sound to how you like it, and is especially usefull as it comes on when you turn your tv on and goes off when you turn your tv off, great. But unfortunately the so called 3d surround is almost totally non existent. Stereo is pretty good, even music sounds pretty good through it. If you want surround sound though you’d probably be better off going for the sony ht rt5 instead. My only other gripe is that the connections to the soundbar are fiddly, particularly if you have expensive hdmi cables with big plugs and stiff cable. Generally though it is a great soundbar, particularly if you have it sitting on the top of a unit in front of your tv firing upwards, siting it this way gives the best sound because it sounds like it is coming from the tv instead of underneath it, which can be the case with some soundbars, they sound detached, this doesn’t.

to make sure this fits. - 5.1ch Speaker Construction for Theatre Like Surround with 500W Output Power

I really expected all – singing, all- dancing integration with and enhancement of my new panasonic tv, but my joy is limited by the clunky interface, and 10 second delay in the sound starting when switching input devices.
I would recommend it to anyone. Superb sound quality, crystal clear. I would recommend it to anyone.
Reviews from purchasers :
- Excellent sounding home cinema experience
- Great Soundbar from Panasonic & much better than having speakers
- Panasonic SC-HT880EBK soundbar with wireless sub.
A little awkward to wall mount but when finished it looks great, works brilliant sounds even better.Well i couldn’t have done better, saved a fortune, having a wireless subwoofer is a bonus you place it where you want. I’ve always been able to rely on amazon.
