| richardep's Full Review: Panasonic SA-HE100 5.1 Channels Receiver |
I recently purchased a Panasonic receiver, model SA HE100K(the same as SA HE100, only in black) based upon Consumer Reports rating it as a BestBuy. I am using it strictly for audio (tapes, CDs,& vinyl).I was disappointed in its lack of good bass reserve, even with the bass control turned all the way up. My old cheap Technics receiver, which I was hoping to upgrade, actually produces a richer, fuller sound with stronger bass. I was told by Panasonic that this unit was designed mostly for video surround sound & that regular stereo might be sacrificed because of this. It would have been helpful if Consumer Reports made mention of this. The problem was solved by buying an equalizer which enabled me to hear the sound that I should have gotten from the receiver alone without having to make an additional investment. Also, with the attachment of the equalizer, it makes operating the controls a little more confusing.
