Viera Connect gives you access to online movies, music and social networking services through a high-speed internet connection. You can connect to a Viera network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi adapter which needs to be purchased.

The system includes a 1000 watts full HD amplifier with 2 tallboy front speakers, 2 surround speakers, center speaker and sub-woofer, big spool of speaker cables and a remote control.

Some reviewers find the tower speakers to be massive and wobbly. The system has limited HDMI ports. The Wi-Fi access requires a Panasonic or other compatible Adapter. The auto disc play syncs well only with Viera connect.
