Unfortunately like many Panasonic models it's not easy to hack the region coding.

To do so requires a special engineers' remote control, and Panasonic only supply them to officially approved service centres.

Fortunately, there are some companies which will allow you to hire the correct remote control, but beware: some have a single use only, so if you get it wrong you have to pay again. Others., like this company, send an unlimited use remote set up for the exact model you wish to use it on. The fee charged costs more than the cheapest and easily hackable generic DVD players, and the deposit on the remote against it's safe return is high and requires you to have a credit card.

Please note that the link may only be of use if you're in the UK, if elsewhere you'll need to search for your own local supplier. Just Google "Panasonic SC-HT900 region hack".

Well, that would depend on the audio capabilites of your PC.

Once you figure out the software controls of the PC audio you can treat the PC like any standard audio device for input or output if the compatible physical connections are there.

Hi,
just take an audio output from the source be it sattelite, ps3 etc to a line input on your amp. be it Tape,Cd,Tuner,aux. JUST DON@T PLUG INTO THE PHONO!!!! (it's for turntables only)

Yes, I have this same problem, and I am frustrated! Cannot find an answer!

May be a fuse inside blown , if it makes a loud pop that can take out a fuse, If you find one blown , replace with same type and try machine .Dont replace with higher rated fuse though , if it keeps blowing. Try using headphones and if you get sound , may be speakers.

Hi, yes it should.. The fan cools the system down when the system is playing for a long time, it get's hot and the fan cools the system down..

So it's not a problem..It's normal.

Thanks for using fixya...

Aside from connecting the black wires and the red wires in their correct places, if you have a blown speaker in the center or surround, it will cause the others not to work.
Here are something things to look for:
1 not every wire is suitable. Most wires are ok, but have natural resistance that prevents some of the signal from reaching the speaker. (impedance, measured in OHMS.)
2. Most of the newer systems have rca or banana connectors to insure clean interfaces.
The reviews I read on this product do not inspire me to go out and buy one, so if you can still choose something else consider it sooner rather than later.
3 the amplifier for the surround sound speakers may already be damage
Try every speaker on the output that works. That way you can tell if the speakers are the problem or if it is the amplifier.
Good luck.

My SA-HT900 with tower spekers works exceptionally well if you dont beat the hell out of it.

you may download to internet

check system cable check Subwoofer and speker....
if all ok may be main unit pcb power supply need replaced

the system cable you are looking for is called: K1HA25HA0001 If you google it you'll get a number of places where you could buy, including ebay but their not cheap, hope this helps

Replace the dvd mechanism.

i have the same probelm when playing a dvd does it work then when u press the surround sound button it goes slient ???

Hiya, sorry to say but the reciever will have to go for repair. It is a fault with the logic most likely. Sorry bout that. Best of luck. Ganx

Hi, I had a similar problem. I had my cable plugged in to the HT through the optical. All of a sudden it stopped working and the receiver started flashing PCM FIX. The solution is press and hold shift and Digital IN buttons and the setting changes to AUTO from PCM FIX.

Sounds like a short in the speaker wire or your polarity is incorrect ,black is negative and red is positive ,just double check theese before next step also the ic501 power module has been known to solve this problem if its not the wire,s because either of theese two failures will cause the error code too pop-up, Honestly this has been a problem with this unit and you are not alone , If the power module in the unit needs to be replaced ,call up customer service at panasonic and maybe your still under waranty where they,ll fix it for free !Thank you and hope I might have been able to help you in some way ,Sincerely Glenn

absolutely ,but remember that theese home theater combo,s are sonically matched so you should find speakers that are rated to the same power handling and frequency response of the one,s you are replacing, if the frequency response is close to what you had that will work fine , if you were to use speakers that were rated for higher output your amplifier will not be able to push the sound of the higher rated speakers and you would not be getting the optimal listening experience , thanks and i hope i helped you ,sincerely Glenn

Take out all the speaker wires. Then unplug the unit for 30 minutes, come back and plug in all the speaker wires. making sure not a strand is anywhere but in the hole. and then plug back in the unit, This system is good at doing this and then if you do what i said everything is good. Best of luck
