2 big problems in under 8 months.......2007-08-18
I don't use it for more than one dvd every day or two, but after a couple of months it started making a terrible noise. Its fan was sticking and stopping, which caused the player to turn off. I oiled the fan and it worked for a few more months, untill the "f61" error. Now the machine wil turn on for only one second and then turn itself off.
It was easy to use and good for movies, not loud enough for music. I think the player is ready for the trash now in under a year. Too many people on the web blogs are getting the f61 (your machine is dead) error.
sounds very nice........2007-03-10
We are very satisfied with this system-it sounds very nice and is rather inexpensive compared to others.
Very Pleased.......2006-12-25
After researching for over a year on a brand, I ended up getting a sweet deal on this model. Panasonic has always worked fantastic for me in the past. I chose a Samsung model first because of the person who reviewed this before me. The Samsung was very buggy so I returned it, and, as luck had it, they had no more in stock so I got my money back and ordered this one. This was the only Panasonic HT that I could find that had smaller front speakers... I didn't want the huge long ones. This system was extremely easy to setup, has tons of features, and is easy to use. The only downside to this unit are two things, the remote only work on Panasonic TV's, and the remote doesn't have an eject button. Besides that, the sound quality and "surround sound" mode is incredible. I highly recommend this unit.
Broken out of the box.......2006-11-05
After reviewing CNET and CONSUMER REPORTS for their recommendations, I settled on the Panasonic SC-HT440 Home Theater System. I followed the set up instructions and kept getting an error code. I called Panasonic Customer Support whom refered me to Universal Electronic for repair! After a month in the repair facility, they had to replace the fan unit on it. I will look at Sony for my next purchase.

Nice product concept, implementation is buggy........2007-11-10
The VOX340 is an exciting product that I've looked for with great anticipation. It will pair to my Macbook via Bluetooth or iPod through the included adapter. It will also pair with my phone at the same time. When the device works as intended, it's great! People call my phone and it interrupts my music. I answer via pressing the button on the receiver, and talk.
Unfortunately, it doesn't usually work like this. First pairing with each device goes well, but if you listen for a couple hours, the signal will eventually cut out and you'll be left wondering what happened. Did the devices unpair? Or did the battery run out? Did it just disconnect? What happened to my music? The manual, which I've read through many times, isn't nearly detailed enough. It states that when the battery on the headset is low, the led will flash red. It does not. The device just cuts out. The other problem with the manual is that there are a number of tones not including the ringtone that notify you of error states through the headset. The manual does not tell you what these mean. I still do not know what "recurring high tone" or "intermittent low tone" means. There is also no way to know which device I'm connected to at any given time. Am I not hearing my music because it's currently waiting for me to give a voice dial instruction to my phone, or because something went wrong with the connection with my macbook?
The signal itself is very weak. While walking to school I walk through some signal-dirty areas, and the music chops up or cuts out entirely. Usually I just wait it out and the music comes back, but sometimes it doesn't. The range isn't very good. If I walk 7 feet to the bathroom from my bedroom, the signal cuts out.
I love the concept of this product, and I will probably continue trying them out for a while, but the fact of the matter is, if my music isn't playing about 35% of the time that I expect it to be, this product isn't fulfilling it's duty as a set of headphones. While it's fantastically useful (especially for a girl!) to be able to put my iPod in my purse, and listen without cords tangling me up, it's obnoxiously non-functional more often than not.
Best of the BLUETOOTH's....So far..........2007-11-10
I've tried quite a few of the bluetooth headsets that can be used as stereo headsets as well as cell phone receivers. There are some that are more expensive that don't work as well as expected. The price point is great on these, and they work very well. I can use them as wireless headphones for my IPod, and pick up phones at the same time from my bluetooth-enable cell phone. Overall, the sound quality is very good, and battery life is exceptional. And comfortable to boot!!!
Nice concept.......2007-07-04
The vox340 is a Bluetooth stereo headset with mic that also includes a separate blue tooth transmitter adapter with a 3.5mm plug that plugs into any headphone jack.
It works great as Bluetooth stereo headphones and beats all the FM and 900MHz headphones I have tried over the years. The range is about 25ft when going through the walls where I live. Since stereo operation only requires pairing with the included adapter, makes it possible to listen wirelessly to anything with a stereo jack. I have it plugged into my laptop.
When paired with a cellphone, the vox340 solves the problem of being able to listen to stereo without wires and still be able to switch to talking on the phone without changing to another headset (or removing the stereo headphones/ear buds to put a phone to your ear).
The device has a loop that is worn around the neck and the 2 inch pendant has volume control, on/off, and 2 other buttons that have tape deck like forward/rewind markings. Each ear bud branches off the loop a short distance to reach the ears. It comes with a charger; the batteries are not removeable.
I have only been able to get it to work with the adapter as Bluetooth stereo headphones since pairing is tricky with my cellphone and laptop, but I have not given up making it work with a MacBook Pro.
The manuals included were minimal and only in French and Spanish, no English. I had to get translation help to know what the various blinking LED modes mean and how to do Bluetooth pairing.
After searching and translation help, I found out:
* Bluetooth 1.2 device.
* Alternating red-green LED in the adapter means it is in pairing mode.
* Pairing mode is triggered by pressing On and Off buttons simultaneously and holding until it starts to blink.
* When the battery is totally drained, it needs to be paired again.
* Device can act either like stereo headphones or a hands free headset.
An insert into the package lists many cell phones that are compatible. To keep this review succinct, I will try to post more "missing vox340 manual" details elsewhere so others can benefit.
Tried 3 of these, all had the same problem .......2006-11-08
I tried tese again and again because when they worked, they sounded real good. But all three units I tried (from different merchants) suddenly either switched off without warning or locked up in a strange mode (I had to twice take out the battery of my LG Chocolate to reset that too). No it was not a problem with the phone as I tried these with my mp3 player too and computer. Besides, the Sony Ericsson bluettoth stereo heaset I finally purchased from Amazon worked fine with very good sound too.
Also check the warranty: whereas Sharper Image advertises a reassuringly long warranty period (from Philips, not from Sharper Image!), you will notice that the sealed box comes with no warranty card, just a slip telling you to check the warranty at the Philips website. I challenge anyone to find that information (for this model) on the Philips website. I struggled for over an hour. It in fact told me that "no warranty applied to this product" (after asking for and getting the serial number too). Believe it or not!! I just couldn't take Sharper Image's word for it unfortunately!! Not after 3 units had the same problem.
The only good thing is it comes with a nice adapter. That seems to work real nice.
Philips VOX 340 is Great!.......2006-10-21
I'm very satisfied with this purchase. This is the only way to listen to your new MP3 Bluetooth phone in the car or on the go. Wear it around your neck, tuck the receiver under your shirt, earbuds in and your good to go. Listen to your MP3 phone (mine is a new LG Fusion w/ 1G Memory) and take calls. All without big, ugly headphones. Buetooth calls fade in an out a little, but not too bad. The MP3 sound from my Fusion is great with no fading at all. Also comes with a small Bluetooth transmitter for your non-Bluetooth MP3 player if you need it.
