Panasonic 3.1 Channel Soundbar with Subwoofer - Wireless - Black (SC-HTB688) is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 63.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from HIGHLY recommended, Brilliant Sound! Absolutely love this Sound Bar, works perfectly well with my Panasonic TV. Gives a great upgrade over the factory TV speakers without a huge shaking the house Surround Sound System! Plugged it in via HDMI (ARC) and it turns on and off with the TV remote and Volume is controlled the same way, Wireless Subwoofer packs a punch that I had to turn it down!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great sound from an affordable and stylish unit! Really impressive soundbar that has replaced an aging 5.1 system. Easy to set up and works well with HDMI ARC and CEC from our TV. Clear dialogue and plenty of bass.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic product! We brought this a month ago as our TV lacked sound for movies and sport. Completely satisfied with this purchase. The Panasonic 3.1 soundbar has made such a difference to our TV system. The sound options are great for flicking from sport to movies where added bass is needed. Highly satisfied!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great value for money Honestly for the price i wasn't expecting much. This sound bar is great. Integrated with my tv (using tv remote to control volume, turns off and on with tv) super super easy. Sound quality is great. I mainly got it for music and its nice and loud, good bass and good sound equalizer settings. Great product very happy with it.

Does it need its own ethernet connection, as well as the tv? Thanks

Asked by: Heather
Hi Heather. Thanks for your question. This does not require an ethernet connection. It can be connected to your TV through Bluetooth. Please note, your TV will need Bluetooth capabilities. If your TV does not have Bluetooth you can use an HDMI (ARC) cable or optical cable to connect the Soundbar and Subwoofer. Hope this answers your query.
