How is the sound quality/volume when using the speaker on the base unit? The Panasonic unit I have now is terrible in this regard. Thanks.

Base unit hands-free speaker works reasonably well with tolerable sound quality. I don't use the base unit hands-free much but it's as least as good as some of the more expensive office-type units I've used. The mobile unit's hands-free works quite well and I use it in this mode often.

Haven't tested the boundaries of the phone, but I did drop the receiver a couple of weeks ago and now there is terrible static when I get a few feet away from the base unit. Probably just knocked something loose. Before that, the sound was fine wherever I went in the house with it...no fading at all, no matter how far I got from the base.

Did you ever find an alternative to the BB2001? Funny, I just bought the im600 today, and it still had the slip in it for the BB2001. I would like to buy a subwoofer for it though, so let me know :) That goes for anybody reading this, too!

I've asked the same thing and no one answered. The volume is plenty loud enough, but I notice there is 'vibrations' if I turn it up too loud. I'd love to know about speakers as well!

Hi Ryan, I bought two units and I love them. Just can say that sound is great, within the same room you will have full high quality signal and sound (no interference whatsoever) and even to the next following room (if you are lucky) but that's it, and that is just what I needed. Hope this helps.

It's good. My last system required turning the center speaker up. Occasional increase in treble but really rarely notice missing dialogue. You can always turn surround off, but we never do. Hope that helps. Watching Bourbe Legacy now.

Bruce. I have the base station up in my bedroom with one speaker and the 2nd speaker down in the basement two floors down and the sound is very clear. I have used the 2nd speaker out in my backyard and it works good.

We just bought and the sound is awful as well. Looking for a mini soundbar now. Trying to figure out if this TV is bluetooth capable?

Yes, the speaker phone on the main base can be used. Full details on the base system can be found here: http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/KXTG6841-MUL.PDF#page=12

I don't think the sound is low. The only problem with the sound is it's finicky. Sometimes it picks up a noise that's quiet and doesn't when the noise is louder. But it's really not a big deal. We love the unit overall and I did a ton of research.

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.

I didn't find it that bad....but I just move it around a lot. We have it attached to a hinge that hangs down from under the cabinet, so it's suspended and moves around easily on the hinge. We love it. The audio was a bit poor, but I changed the audio options under "menu", like the bass level, and now it sounds pretty good. This is not a huge TV with great speakers....this is a tiny TV for watching while doing dishes, working in the garage, etc. You can always plug in a boom box to this tv for better/louder sound.

Thank all for your responses. The unit is useless for me as I need to know the AVERAGE sound level over a period of time.

I can respond on the sound quality part... It says in the owners manual to have the unit volume all the way up and then tune up your music source. I use it for my Zumba (R) classes and sounds great at a higher volume level. I love it!

Hello,Did you ever figure this out? I just bought this TV last night and I'm very happy with it, but I use a surround sound system and have to keep the TV volume on 0. There should be a way to turn the speakers off - right?Thanks for any info.

Sorry, I don't think I can help. I only use it in the kitchen while I'm cooking. It is perfect for me. Sound quality is clear. I used it once at the beach and could hear it fine and clear. Hope this helps.
