Hi all,

I'm looking at purchasing my first HTIB.  The Panasonic SC-PT870GN-K is on sale at noel leeming for $699.  One reason why I'm interested in this is that my plasma is also a Panasonic.  I would like to take advantage of the viera link.  Other than that, I'm a complete noob when it comes to home theatre.  Is this model any good?  or can you recommend any other system.  i'm also looking at buying a blu ray in the future..  can i hook the blu ray player in this system?

here's the specs:

Panasonic DVD Home Theatre System
SC-PT870GN-K
11924

The SC-PT870 is a tallboy DVD Home Theatre that achieves an extremely pure and clean sound with a powerful bass. The integrated iPod dock gives you a great way to enjoy music and video on your iPod, and VIERA link controls everything with a single remote
