Great Blu Ray Wireless System:
To start off with there are still wires with this thing. But, you don't need to run wires from the front player to the back speakers. There is a little unit that you plug your back speakers into and it receives the signal from the blu-ray player up front.

Those speakers are then plugged into the little receiver unit. Once you turn on... more info

I don't know why Panasonic... more info
Great system, just don't pay full price:
I think that the other reviews have done a fair job pointing out this systems pros and cons. I'd just like to add two things: 1) When using the Veira link, the TV comes on and off with the home theater system. Not a problem if you just want to watch BDs, etc. with it. But if you want to use the system to play music, then the TV stays on. There is supposed to be a way to turn the TV off w/o turning the player off, but there may be bugs with it. 2) If you use a digital optical audio connection, you... more info
