Can you add this sound bar to the panasonic surround sound home theater and have better sound?

The Panasonic surround sound home theater is much more powerful then the sound bar. You would have to run the surround sound at a lower volume in order to hear the sound bar. Plus it looks like the sound bar and surround system are comparable in quality, so you will get more sound, but it will be equal, not better.

I do not know for sure. The only plugs are HDMI and two other tv inputs. Sorry not much help

I don't know about a sound bar. I use a Denon 7.1 surrround sound and it works really great.

Wow, bless your heart. I spent hours on the phone with Sony and Panasonic only to be spinning my wheels. Ended up returning my soundbar. Perhaps Radio Shack might be able to help you out. Sorry, I'm not much help. I wish you well.

The actual bar comes in 2 pieces which you hook together into what it shows in the picture. You will also receive a small speaker which will make the system sound like surround sound if you choose that option on the remote control. I have the sound bar in front of my TV, and the additional speaker next to the TV stand on the floor. Hope this answers your question.

Probably but you are better off getting a better sound bar. This one is junk.

With my surround sound system (Panasonic, 5.1, 1000 watts) on, I've noticed a drastic increase in sound quality, it really makes a difference. The standard speakers on the TV are hardly audible in my opinion. Even on the analog stations, usually only two of the speakers on the surround sound system are putting out sound, it still makes a big difference though. The HD stations, which usually have 5.1 surround sound, are incredible. You should check out a surround sound system. Really makes a difference and complements the TV.

Yes, Optical audio from TV (out) to Sound Bar (in) is available. You might get more info if you can obtain the Owner's Manual (or equivalent) on-line at the Panasonic, http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/SCHTB70.PDF. This link isn't the correct manual, but it does show the optical terminal connections.

Sound bars are a waste of money unless you are spending over a grand and in that case, get a full blown surround system instead. This TV doesn't sound great but a sound bar won't improve anything. Trust me. I've tried many of them.

Fair. I put a polk 9000 soundbars on mine because of the application I am using it for. Another one was sold to my father in law and he has no sound bar. No complaints.

Absolutely. You may want to add some sort of cheap surround sound though. The built-in speaker is OK but not great.

Yeah, the optical input connection is really weak at the soundbar. Sound cuts out intermittently. I ended up using the analog connection (the difference is negligible with these cheapo soundbars).

As the device give a surround sound if you go through set up process properly it will give you a decent sound it is not 5.1 but i prefer this sound bar to % 90 of the 5.1 s on the market

Guess you could but its a lot taller than any sound bar I have seen. I pesonally would not use it as one but to each their own.. Sounds real good!

Absoultely! I tried using only the built-in speakers in the television itself, but they weren't loud enough to hear and sounded distorted at high volume levels. I purchased oCosmo's sound bar and connected it to the television. The sound is much better and volume is more than adequate.

You will only be able to use Coax digital or analog stereo RCA with this sound bar, unless you purchase additional adapters.

yes you can. but, the unit died after about a year. quality was never good. i bought a polk sound bar and have been very happy with it.

Yes. Simply use the audio out plugs on the back of the TV to the matching inputs on the back of the Soundbar. Once connected, you'll want to turn the volume control down on the TV to let the Soundbar system take over. Cheers!
