| stormwolf17's Full Review: Panasonic SC-AK77 |
The Stereo
Where can I start? This stereo is fully packed. It comes with surround sound speakers(that's 5 speakers). The main speakers have subwoofers, tweeters, and in addition to the regular speakers that stereos usually come with. It also comes with a remote control, and t.v., vcr, and dvd hookup capabilities.
Pro-Logic or Surround Sound?
When watching t.v., a lot of people think that the stereo should be set on surround sound. This, however, is not true. When watching t.v., you're better off on turning it to the Pro-Logic setting. This will make it so that the sound comes out louder on all the speakers, where as surround sound, the background sounds are very low.
CD's CD's & More CD's
The cd part of it holds 5 cds. It's a stacked one,so you have to put one cd in at a time, and then close it, and then select the next available cd holder, and re-open it, and keep doing it, until the cd player is full. The cd player also is cd-r and cd-rw compatible. This means you can play the cd's you make on your brand new cd burner that you got for Christmas or your birthday.
Tapes
Of course, if you're still back in the era of cassettes, then you'll be pleased to know that this stereo has 2 tape decks. One of them is a recording, and playing deck, and the other is just a playing deck. So you can tape your favorite songs, or listen to your favorite tapes.
Bass
If you love base, then you'll love this. The subwoofers can be turned on or off, and when they are turned on, the bass just booms, shaking the very foundation of the house you're in. Ok, maybe I'm stretching it just a little, but not by much. The subwoofers have 3 settings, light, medium, or heavy. Or you can turn them off, to enjoy the song, or movie you're watching, without the heavy bass.
My Take On It's Performance
We've only had the stereo for not even a month, and yet I'm very much in love with it's performance. It plays my burned cd's without any problem, and the bass that comes from the stereo, brings my music experience to a whole new level. You'll never feel music, until you experience through the speakers of the SC-AK77.
Surround-
Pro-logic gives you a very nice experience with the movies. It makes it seem like you are in the same room that the movies are taking place in. It's almost like being in your favorite movie theater all over again, right in the comfort of your own home.
Final
I recommend this stereo, as it's the best stereo I've seen in a long time. Not only is it really well equipped, but the look of it is neat, and will look good on your stereo center shelf, it's a promise!
Well, this is stormwolf17, thanks for reading my opinion. I hope that I could help you make a more informed decision on this stereo, if not, leave comments or questions, on how I can improve, or asking for further information. I'm signing off for now, au'revoir.
Note
The price I quoted for this, was a rough estimate of what it would be in USD, the price we bought it at was in CAD(Canadian Dollar). The CAD price was $500.00.
