Crave: If you’ve long wanted to get into home cinema but haven’t had the motivation, you might find the switch to high definition is a good time to get involved. At least, that’s what Panasonic is hoping with its SC-BT100, a Blu-ray home cinema system with 5.1 surround and a bunch of wonderful trimmings.
We’ve always been a fan of simple home cinema systems. No one will pretend you’re going to get the best quality high-end sound, but as far as simplicity and value for money goes, they can’t be beaten. Especially if you lack the expertise and inclination to spend hours putting together a top-notch setup.
What makes the BT100 ideal is that it also offers a step up to Blu-ray while at the same time offering 5.1 sound. There’s an added bonus too — you can add an extra pair of optional speakers to turn the whole thing into a 7.1 surround sound system. Now that’s the sort of flexibility we like.
