Panasonic SC-HTB8 2.0 Channel Soundbar with Bluetooth(R)

Product Information

The HTB8’s Bluetooth capability allows you to listen to your own music in high-quality sound straight from your smartphone or tablet as we will mention in detail in this Panasonic SC HTB8 Review. In today’s standards, we cannot really think about a device that does not have Bluetooth so this was an essential addition to Panasonic SC HTB8. There's quite a lot of DSP (Digital Sound Processing) options to play with, in fact, although most of the Sound Modes aren't wildly different from one another. There's an emphasis on the low notes in the Cinema mode and the Stadium option is loud and echoey but there's not much to distinguish between Standard, Music and Stereo but we mostly favoured Music, for all disciplines with its slightly brighter timbre which seemed to reveal just that bit more detail. The days when an audio product could just go about its business of making a noise are numbered and, as such, the HTE80 has a number of additional lifestyle enhancing features on board.

Standby (Wireless Link is not activated) power consumption approximately 0.4W (HTB880), 1.3W (HTB680/ HTB580/ HTB480). You can add depth to your TV audio with the Panasonic SC-HTB8. Thanks to its overall power output of 80 watts, this 2-channel soundbar can fill small to medium-sized rooms with sound. The Panasonic SC-HTB8 2.0 Channel 80W Home Cinema Soundbar features a Stylish Delta and modern design for attractively simple living room use and a 2 channel, high quality home cinema soundbar. It has been designed to deliver a deep, room filling sound that will enrich your home entertainment experience.

All of the controls you will need to run your Panasonic SC HTB8 are located on the front screen. The initial section is divided into two pieces, with controls for standby/on, volume up/down, input source, and Bluetooth. As previously stated, this soundbar is meant to cram a lot of punch into a compact speaker according to this Panasonic SC HTB8 Review. It measures about 45cm in length, making it ideal for tiny televisions. It is, nevertheless, powerful enough to be utilized as a standalone home theater speaker. In the Audio/Visual world it doesn't really get much easier than hooking up a sound plate (yes, we do keep calling it different names - blame the manufacturers) but it's probably a smoother experience if your TV does have ARC functionality via one of its HDMI inputs, as it will allow you to use your TVs remote to control the volume. During testing we hooked up the SC-HT80 to a Toshiba L4353 we were reviewing and found operation faultless over ARC, although we can't 100% vouch this will be the case for all TVs as we've seen some shoddy implementations. What we can say is that there's certainly nothing wrong in the way Panasonic is implementing ARC so it will be your TV to blame if things are going pear-shaped. The elegant, compact HTB688 is a perfect match for your TV. HDMI CEC compatibility provides easy operation. And the 3.1-Channel High-Quality Sound System with wireless subwoofer optimizes theater sound.

You may turn the unit on/off, mute or increase/decrease the level, change the input source, and alter the sound style, to name a few things. This functionality is easily accessed thanks to a Bluetooth key. Bluetooth Connection Panasonic includes quite a lot of processing options and features aboard the HTE80 and most of them actually work quite well, so you'll need to experiment to see what suits you best. Whichever you choose, the audio performance will generally be on the warm side with excellent clarity of both vocals and dialogue and very nice sense of detail.
