Panasonic SC-BT730

Home-theater-in-a-box systems often get flak for the integrated components that don't work as well as separate components do, but with Blu-ray HTIBs we've generally found that the built-in disc player works as well as standalone units do.

Panasonic announced three new Blu-ray HTIBs for 2010, adding the similar features (Wi-Fi, Netflix) to the product line, as the company did with its mainstream Blu-ray players.

The SC-BT730 is a 5.1 home theater system with wireless rear speakers, support for Panasonic's VieraCast online content portal, Wi-Fi-ready capability (requires a USB dongle) and an iPod/iPhone dock.
