Any good? Panasonic SCHT500 DVD Home theatre System

[Mikey]

Hi everyone, i recently graduated from uni and my dad wants to purchase me
something as a reward. He doesnt have the cash right now but is prepared to
buy something from Myer on his myer card as they are offering 12 months
interest free.

I have looked through their catalogue and they have the Panasonic SCHT500
Home theatre System for $799. It includes a DVD player, subby and 5 speakers
and has a Dolby Digital/DTS decoder. Its also 500 watts RMS.

Im not really an audio visual tech person so i dont expect miracles from it,
but is this a pretty good system?

Ill be using it with a projector once i save enough cash for one.

Thanks for your comments

[Mikey]

Also wanted to know if I can connect the HT system up to play on VCR or use
it for Digital TV or Foxtel or will it only work with the DVD player.

Is the receiver the DVD player? Because there are no other componenets that
come with the system.
