Would this be an ideal soundbar for my 42in panasonic viera? Noticed people are getting this for 47in or higher.. Thank you in advance.

It would be a very good soundbar, you can actually split the bar into two speakers and stand them up on the sides. They put out very good sound for their size.

I think it would be perfect for any Panasonic TV. Just make sure you either have an unused HDMI port or use the optical connection (you have to purchase the cable separately but I found one on here for under $15.

The 2.1 Panasonic SCHTB370 is great for any television set 32 inches or higher. The sound quality is good, set-up is easy and the appearance looks very sleek when assembled. The bluetooth is also great for phone pairing - music options, easy listening.If you have a small room, then the 2.1 is ideal. However, if you have a large space then you might want to try a higher model like the SCHTB770 for a higher pitched sound. I however, have a minor disappointment - this system 2.1 has no USB.Overall, I think that this system is a great buy; and I have no regrets in the purchase on Amazon.com.

It would fit perfectly across the bottom of my 42" Panasonic TV. However I love the feature that each half can stand on both sides of the TV with the supplied stands. Both bars must be assembled together to make a solid 42" soundbar.

I found the best sound was directly to my TV with an HDMI cable. I tried running an Optical Audio cable to my cable box and it caused a sound delay which was really annoying, but you can also connect the Optical cable from your TV directly to your Panasonic SoundBar, but it wasn't any better than just the HDMI to me so the less wires the better for me. Good luck with it, I love mine, I've had it a couple years now and it works great, I have another one in my theatre room.

hey man bottom line go bigger that 120mhz is a gimmick I have this tv, you will NOT go wrong with the 46". Believe me! I had the same debacle as you. 46" is the way to go

Guess this can depend on individual tastes. My soundbar is a bit longer than the front of my tv and it makes no difference to me. I got a great buy on it and am plenty happy with it. If you found a great deal on a slightly larger soundbar, I`d be tempted to buy it over a perfect fit that costs more and is less featured.

I have the 37". It has only one audio out plug for probably a sound bar but not for surround sound. I believe others complained about that. My headphones did not work with it at all.

Hi Barton,It calls out 40 because the entire length of the sound bar may be longer than the horizontal length of your television. Aesthetically, it would look strange if the sound bar is longer than the TV. They do make smaller sound bars.

I would say anything 37 and above. Otherwise it would look weird with a smaller system. The device (soundbar) is pretty light and can go anywhere around the TV, but i say within the 37-50 range is best.

Yes it's suitable for a 32" tv. I have it hooked up to a 55" tv and it works great. I think you will be happy with the sound quality this mid level sound system puts out.

This is a 3D sound system and Sony does not offer 3D televisions under 40" screen size. The system will work with smaller HDTV's but if the TV is not 3D the sound bar will not produce the optimum sound effects. As for the other answers concern the length being relative to the width of the TV it is paired with for athsetic reasons; I think that would be up to the person who will be discouraged with a sound bar longer than the TV's width.

Soundbar is 2.25 inches high above the surface, or at least ours is. Should be fine in your case.

I am considering the 325 and had considered placing it next to the TV as I have space there. From what you said this would bae a bad move. I am not in a position to purchase an HDTV now - we have a good, but very heavy old SONY which I fear is too heavy. I can build a supporting unti to place the 325 in and then set the sony on top. Do you think this would have any negaative affect on the 325 sound quality? Thanks very much for any thoughts you may have.cassocala

probably the size of the sound bar. I use this sound bar with my 32"LCD and I have no problems. the sound bar is clearly wider than the tv... by probably 3" on each side. makes no difference in performance tho.

Mrs. C.I am using it with a Panasonic 46" television. The sound bar is 40" wide by itself, so measure your available space in front of the TV. The bass unit can go on the floor or behind the TV. Dan Hart

Sunny has one HT -ct 370 2.1 sound bar if that's what you're looking for and is $298 plus shipping if you buy it off Amazon that's where I bought mine but I bought the more expensive one I was happy with it with what I've got and I've listened to them home theater system at a store that specializes in home theater systems and I've done a lot of research and they're pretty good

As a soundbar junkie I have owned them all and tried every mounting position that can be done,,,, my feelings are that soundbars almost always sound better mounted above a TV/display. 52" above floor level is not that high at all,,,,, I was experimenting with my Sony CT-100, Sony CT-500 and my Vizio Soundbar w/wireless sub and found one of the BEST spots for mounting was 7' from the floor, at 7' high the sound has nothing to block the reflective sound coming from the soundbar such as curtains, paintings on the wall and such. Each room is different though, but for me the higher I place my soundbars the better they sounded. Cheers Davyo

I was extremely happy with my recent soundbar purchase. I'd thought it would be junk for the price, but it amplifies the sound very well. It's a good buy. We used ours on a 42 inch TV
