## Overview

The Panasonic SC-XH170 is a sleek, Energy Star-certified 5.1-channel home theater system delivering 1000 watts of clear, powerful sound. It features 1080p up-conversion for enhanced DVD visuals, seamless iPod/iPhone connectivity via USB, and an Audio Return Channel (ARC) for simplified HDMI setup. Designed for professionals who demand immersive entertainment with eco-friendly efficiency.

## Description

The SC-XH170 features new high sound quality technology for pure, clear sound reproduction in a sophisticated and stylish appearance. Link to your iPod or iPhone for a variety of entertainment besides movies.  VIERA Link The SC-XH150 features VIERA Link, a technology that allows a consumer to operate all VIERA Link compatible AV components using only a remote control.   Digital Music Connection for iPod/iPhone  The home theater system is a great way to enjoy the music, video and photo content on your iPod or iPhone. The list of iPod/iPhone content can be displayed on the TV screen, and you can use the remote control from the home theater system or a VIERA TV to select and play it. Clear Sound Digital Amplifier The Clear Sound Digital Amplifier analyzes the difference between the input and output audio signals, and makes the necessary adjustments to produce an output signal with the same low distortion as the input signal. This results in sound that is highly faithful to the original sound source. Audio Return Channel  The home theater system is compatible with the ARC (Audio Return Channel) feature. ARC makes it possible to receive audio signals from the TV, on top of the preexisting HDMI function of sending audio/video signals to the TV with just one cable. This feature simplifies connection by eliminating the audio cable connection between the TV audio output and the main unit's audio input.* ARC compatible TV is required.  Environmentally Friendly Panasonic is always working to improve its technology, design, and commitment to the environment. The SC-XH170 is Energy Star qualified.  2012 Panasonic VIERA Home Theater System Comparison Chart Series SC-BTT490   SC-BTT190/BTT195 SC-XH170 SC-HTB550 SC-HTB350 SC-HTB20 Full HD 3D Blu-ray Disc Playback     DVD Playback    Adaptive Chroma Processing     2D-3D Conversion for VIERA Connect     3D Cinema Surround     1080p Up-Conversion      VIERA Connect     DLNA (DMP/MDR) Function     Internet Ready  Wi-Fi Built-In Wireless LAN Ready  Wireless Streaming w/ Bluetooth Wireless Streaming w/ Bluetooth  Multi-User Mode      Multi-Positional Layout Selectable Speaker Layout Selectable Speaker Layout Selectable Speaker Layout Down Firing Subwoofer  Digital Tube Sound     Smartphone Function Capability Remote Control Capability Remote Control Capability USB Connection iPod/iPhone    Optical Input x 1    Anti-Jitter Digital Amplifier  Anti-Distortion Structure Speaker Cone     Network Drive Access  Nanosized Bamboo Cone Speaker    External HDD Playback     VIERA Link Capability Stainless Mesh Design   HDMI Input x 2 w/ Standby Pass Through  Dialog Level Control   Energy Star Certified

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use my old home theater built into the wall speaker wires with this unit?**
A: Hola, si pude usar mi home theater y es muy bueno, cumple con mis espectativas. Vale la pena comprarlo

**Q: What does the terminology "ARC" mean ??**
A: It stands for "Audio Return Channel." Basically, it allows sound and video to be sent/received through one HDMI cable, rather than having an HDMI for video and another cable for sound, such as an Auxiliary cable or Optical audio cable. I'm not sure whether or not that terminology is wide spread or just a panasonic term, but usually an "ARC" capable HDMI port will be marked with an Omega Sign.

**Q: Does this model have any analog outputs such as RCA stereo or 1/8 inch (35mm)?**
A: No, digital only.

**Q: Can videos be watched from USB stick?**
A: sorry elana.. cannot answer since i am handicapped and in a wheelchair...i believe  USB access is advertised with the system, but,i would definetely contact panasonic to verify...gordon

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ worth the money, don't expect it to blow you away though.
*by C***. on January 7, 2014*

I use it in the den (roughly 15' x 15' room) where I had to replace an old panasonic unit that I messed up while moving to my new place. Haven't used it a whole lot just yet though. The day I got it all set up, with the unit's original speakers, I was pretty disappointed with the sound, it just sounded too sharp, like it didn't have enough bass. I ended up using my old speakers with this unit and the sound is much much better.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice Partner to Panasonic TV
*by R***6 on July 28, 2013*

I bought this when when the cost was considerably lower than now and it was a great buy for the money. Designed to be used with a Panasonic Viera Link TV (which I own), it is easy to set up. I turned it on and it worked immediately, both with sound originating from the TV or from the DVD player. The TV remote even works with it. Speaker set up is simple and the directions are clear. The system has a nice appearance--black and sleek. The speakers are small but they seem more than adequate. The sound is very good for the moderate size (c. 14 x 15 feet) room. Base is so good that loud movie sounds scare my dog. I am happy I purchased this unit--especially since I bought it right before a fairly hefty price increase!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I Like It...Go for it
*by K***H on April 6, 2013*

I read all the reviews before I purchased. The only negative is the system is a lot smaller in person than it looks like online. Nevertheless, this small system is just what I needed. Don't know what to say to the negative reviews and the bad experiences while setting up but all of my experiences have been positive. I bought this system because I purchased a Panasonic TV a couple of months ago and the sound from the TV wasn't nearly good enough. OK but had to turn it all the way up just to hear from 20 feet away and don't have a crowd because you would never hear it. I unpacked the system, hooked up all the wires and immediately it sounded great. Make sure you purchase an HDMI cable that will reach from your TV to the back of the DVD player. That's all you will need. I was dreading the setup with turning the TV speakers off and setting the correct input and all that but I turned on the DVD after hooking everything up and it went through this on screen setup and I was done in a jiffy. I didn't know what ARC meant at the time, and still don't but I selected that option and everything sounds great. I have it set up with all the speakers up front by the TV so the wires are not an issue. It even is controlled by my ATT Uverse universal control. Haven't actually tried to play a DVD yet but the unit turns on when I turn on my cable box and TV and the sound is controlled with the same remote. Just like one of the other reviewers stated, there is a slight lag time (somewhere around 10 seconds) where you will have the TV sound only then the surround sound kicks in. I feel obligated to include this review because this was a great deal. The quality and the price. I hope to have eased some concerns. I had plenty prior to purchasing. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will continue to provide quality sound.
