Ask anyone about the most frustrating part of home theater set-up, and you will likely get the same answer – the wires. Wires are found everywhere in home theater. You have wires from the tv to the receiver, wires from the dvd or bluray player, power cords to the receiver, tv, and dvd or bluray player, and wires to all of your speakers. Wires, wires and more wires. For some people it is all too much, and for those people I would recommend a wireless home theater system.

You may be a little reluctant to choose a wireless systems, and if the technology was still the way it used to be 10 years ago, I wouldn’t blame you.  Early wireless home theater systems were plagued with problems such as popping and clicking, interference and poor sound quality. This stigma is now slowly being reversed as people start to realise that the current wireless models are leaps and bounds ahead of their predecessors, and most of the major problems with wireless sound have been dealt with.

So why go wireless? Ultimately, it all comes down to one word -  simplicity.  Running wires under floorboards or carpets takes time and effort. With a wireless home theater system you have no worries – the rear speakers are powered by their own power cord so you don’t need to run speaker wire all over your home theater.

A wireless system is especially attractive for people renting an apartment. Generally hiding your rear speaker wires takes a bit of construction, something that your landlord might not be too happy with. Using a wireless system means simply finding a power plug near the back of your theater, and plugging in. When you do eventually move, packing up is much simpler as well.

Another benefit of a wireless home theater system is mobility. Having wireless speakers means it is easier to move your speakers around to find that “sweet spot”. Having a party? Then why not take your rear speakers into a second room and set that up as a different zone?

So why go wireless? With all of the positives you can get from a wireless system, and the very few negatives, the real question is why not?

Panasonic SC-PT760 Wireless Home Theater System

The Panasonic SC-PT760 has 5.1 channel surround sound, with a 5-disc DVD changer. It upscales your DVDs to 1080p ensuring the best possible video experience.  The system includes a wireless transmission unit for the rear speakers, which are wired to the rear amplifier.

Panasonic uses a rigid bamboo material in their front speakers, which helps to achieve a clean sound. It is also cool to be able to tell your friends that your speakers are made of bamboo! It has a rather neat flip-down iPod dock, and displays a full iPod menu on the TV screen for easy navigation. The Kelton subwoofer system ensures plenty of bass, and it has VIERA link for those of you with Panasonic VIERA HDTVs.

If you are interested in expanding your audio experience beyond your home theater room, you can have playback in up to three additional rooms with optional purchase of the Panasonic SH-FX85 Wireless multi room audio kit.

The only downside with this system is that it has no video inputs and only 2 audio inputs. For those of you with more complicated setups, this may not be the ideal choice.

Sony DAV-HDX576WF Wireless Home Theater System

The Sony DAV-HDX576WF has 5.1 channel surround sound, with a 5-disc DVD changer and 1080p upscaling.  Sony uses its S-AIR technology for wireless transmission to the rear surround speakers, and also includes an S-AIR Airstation speaker. This can be used as a standalone unit in a separate room, allowing for simple multi-room audio functionality.

For those of you with Sony TVs, it has BRAVIA Theatre sync which allows the home theater system and the TV to communicate. It has an iPod cradle, and auto calibration with included microphone. This is a handy feature because it takes some of the guesswork out of calibrating your home theater system.

As with the Panasonic, the only downside with this system is the lack of video inputs. The Sony system has only 2 audio inputs as well, which leaves you high and dry when it comes to more complicated setups.

Samsung HT-Z520T Wireless home theater system

The Samsung HT-Z520T has 5.1 channel surround sound with a 5-disc changer. Like the others, it does upscaling of DVDs to 1080p. In contrast to the other two  systems, the HT-Z520T uses 5.8Ghz RF transmission, which means that it is less likely to interfere with wireless phones, and wireless internet.

In the “weird materials for speakers” category it comes up trumps over the Panasonic system, using “green” bio-kelp fibers, which are supposed to reduce distortion.  It has an included auto calibration microphone which will help you to get the most out of your system. Like the others, it has an iPod dock, but Samsung also include a USB host with CD ripping which offers you a few more options for playback on your system.

The HT-Z520T has 1 HDMI video input. While 2 or 3 would have been better, at least this will let you easily add in a Blu-ray system if you buy one later on. It is still fairly crippled with audio inputs, with only 2 available.

Price: 379.99 at amazon.com

Conclusion:

There is a lot of value to be had in these sub-$400 systems. You won’t get the latest and greatest features, and there is not a lot of flexibility, but you will get a system that offers basic functionality with very decent sound quality.  As you can see, there are more similarities than differences between these wireless surround sound systems. The ultimate choice depends on what you are looking for. All things considered, though, I think the Samsung HT-Z520T is the slightly better option.
