I have the SC-PT470 and I have been trying for months now to track down a spare integrated iPod dock because mine has become damaged. Short of buying a completely new player, can any one please suggest where I might be able to get such a part, or advise me on the part number (I have already checked the Operating Manual and cannot see the number in there)?

It is a common complaint with this system, and hopefully Panasonic will resolve with the next model. You will still be able to use Dolby Digital though, which in most cases is pretty near to DTS quality.

I am made up with the system in general, (the sound output is crystal clear) but I am disappointed with the USB connectivity, I have been unable to get it to recognise any memory sticks or my external hard drive.

When my panasonic blu ray (audio) is connected through the optical digital connection and the HDMI audio switched off – there is no audio sound when dvd is played. Strangely the build up to the main movie is OK sound wise but as soon as the movie is played no audio!!
Does anyone know why??

Have found similar problem is not accepting optical sound from my media player, what kind of surround sound system doesn’t allow dts over optical the preferred choice for sending sound. I now have a useless bit of kit. Thanks Panasonic

If your TV can output Dolby Digital then yes, otherwise it will be Dolby Pro Logic II.

Be careful, it doesn’t accept DTS optical signal (which is used more on Blu-ray now), but only accepts Dolby Digital. I have the 467 which has the same limitation…

DTS is available through the internal DVD player.
