The Panasonic SCHTB520 enriches the burgeoning soundbar market and has already become a force to be reckoned with.

Combining a slimline soundbar with a separate subwoofer gives the Panasonic SC-HTB520 a full range sound that's a huge improvement over built-in TV speakers. Twin treble units and mid-range drive units give this soundbar exceptional clarity. In addition, thanks to the Clear-mode dialogue feature, the sound can be projected to the centre of the screen, linking the picture and sound to give a more precise sound with clearer dialogue. At the other extreme, the separate subwoofer uses a 16cm, downward firing cone to add impact to movie soundtracks and high drama events.

Although the benefit to sound quality is clear over standard TV speakers, the SC-HTB520 demonstrates you don't have to suffer the domestic consequences. The slimline soundbar measures just 7.5cm high and 4.4cm deep, meaning that it can easily and discreetly sit beneath a TV, or even wall mounted above it. Similarly, the subwoofer features a wireless connection, making it easy to tuck out of the way, without having to consider where to put the trailing cables.

If you already have a VIERA equipped TV, then the SC-HTB520 makes even more sense. VIERA link ensures that a single remote control will handle both the TV and soundbar. Furthermore, whatever your TV is, the HDMI Audio Return Channel has the potential to further cut down on cable clutter. Use a single HDMI connection cable and you can not only feed sound from the TV into the soundbar but also video from any sources connected into the soundbar, such as Blu-ray player, games console and DVD player.

In addition to its compact dimensions and minimal wiring, the SC-HTB520 is finished to match the greatest amount of TVs possible. The gloss black look blends in effortlessly and will integrate with most TVs to make its appearance hardly noticeable at all.

Discreet styling, ease of use and, most importantly, a real boost to sound quality. The Panasonic SC-HTB520 makes an impressive soundbar.
