Panasonic SA-PMX92 Review!

my review of the system, features, pros and cons.

[@yournumber2fan]

i was thinking of putting the Monster speakers onto this little unit. i use them on my PC and Minidisc I was really happy with this purchase its a great unit.

[@robainsworth4384]

Today in 2024 we are up to Bluetooth 5.3, yet this Panasonic system is using 17 year old Bluetooth 2.1 from 2007 with two older codec SBC and AAC. Surely Panasonic could have used a newer version in it. But it seems people are happy with no major complaints ... For sure, the volume button is important to have a bit bigger as is seen on competing systems.

[@Inaworldoflove]

Does older bluetooth codecs have problems with sound fidelity?

[@grzegorzstaniszewski9373]

thx for the review, I gonna buy it!

[@Inaworldoflove]

Glad I could help!

[@Hazza546]

[@georgepitris8858]

[@Inaworldoflove]

Very nice!

[@triba4990]

Thanks for the review! Had a look at one of these today at JB just with what I assume is the newer model number. Curious how loud it gets?

[@Inaworldoflove]

JB still sells this model. It's 120W so it can get very loud.

[@andrewwilliams9477]

Thanks for your review. Does this unit connect to Bluetooth headphones? I have a Sony unit which only supports BT input, e.g. to stream from phone, but not output, e.g. headphones. Thanks again.

[@Inaworldoflove]

No sorry this is not possible. You can buy a Bluetooth device that plugs into the headphone jack and create a Bluetooth sync this way.

[@user-cd7fs2hh2u]

Thank you, saw this at JB Hi Fi for $599 Aussie. Considering it

[@Inaworldoflove]

I just checked, $479 at the moment. You should definitely get it.

[@yournumber2fan]

@@Inaworldoflove thats what I paid. but the sale is over

[@jhowie]

hi how do i connect this as a usb dac to say a smartphone, any special cable i need or it can only connect to a pc? got this from jbhifi still for it to arrive on monday.

[@Sautos]

No usb flash drive work for me ,even if I try all the possible formats! Any idea?

[@dawidjakubczak2908]

Hi. Does audio in auto play work for you? I connected the audiocast to this input, but when I turn on the song, the tower does not turn on automatically. You need to find the aux in option on the remote.

[@Inaworldoflove]

You have to change input I believe

[@hadeseye2297]

There's EXT-IN over RADIO button.

[@davidfromdownunder]

I completely get what you're saying Chris. It's why I tend to go back to my Mamiya 645 ProTL 120mm medium format outfit from time to time to ground myself and slow down my thought process. It also makes me very selective of what I shoot as you don't have that luxury in the traditional world. To me that's a very good thing as I get to remember why I fell in love with photography in the first place some 30 plus years ago. I LOVE shooting on 120mm medium film format especially for landscape work with my trusty Manfrotto. You're going to love it Chris, you know that feeling way back in the day? It's still there and once you go back you'll fall in love with photography all over again. It's hard to explain that to the younger generation though, dont even get me started on entering a darkroon again, god how I miss that so much!

[@chrisbomber101]

Can I pair Bluetooth headphones to the system for night time listening? Shocking how many hi-fi's only receive Bluetooth but don't send to Bluetooth music to headphones Thank you. Good review.

[@Inaworldoflove]

Unfortunately not.

[@chrisbomber101]

@@Inaworldoflove I've just ordered, yours is one of the very few English speaking reviews on KZbin. At least it has a headphone jack socket and an AUX for my turntable. It was the High resolution playback and TV inputs and 3 way speakers that sold me. £279.00 UK price very good, I normally buy Sony.

[@Inaworldoflove]

@@chrisbomber101 great let me know how it goes!

[@Hung_P]

hello, what is the bass like? i'm heavily into electronic bass trance music and music that involves subwoofers. can you provide the hertz specifications and size of the woofers + its material is made of?

[@Inaworldoflove]

Google the model for product specifications.

[@Hung_P]

@@Inaworldoflove thank you for the response. i'd already googled the model and all i could find was the SC model superceding the SA model and the description detailed "bamboo charcoal .." next to the speaker model without showing the woofer though tweeter is listed. i researched and found out that the material isn't listed amongst the woofer's main material thus i deduced it is the speaker's box material. there is a pdf document on the SC model but the writing is very small on my phone and i have to check it out on my tablet or print it out when i'll have a chance.

[@avi8r944]

​@Hung_P you're better off buying a system that has a sub out port. This is fine for normal music but if you want more bass, look elsewhere.

[@giedriuslitovcas]

How to connect to the computer? there is no sound. Maybe what drivers need to be downloaded?

[@Inaworldoflove]

I'm not sure. It worked for my macbook pro.

[@JuanCarlosMartins1968]

To connect with the computer: through AUX-IN (straight) or via the USB in the back (same cable as USB printers): for that you´ll need to download and install the Panasonic Audio Player software. It´s a basic player, but the high quality of the sound provided when playing FLAC files worth it!

[@dancaini]

Hi,support bluetooth streaming Spotify with smartphone?

[@Inaworldoflove]

Yes

[@dancaini]

@@Inaworldoflove Thanks

[@JonathanMah-Chut]

Can you let me know the total RMS power of the system. Thanks J

[@Inaworldoflove]

It's 120 Watt, not sure about RMS

Is there a comparable model?

My video or the stereo?

[@jorgenadernazur4770]

The sound is flat on cds. I don't like it.

[@Inaworldoflove]

Have you turned off the surround sound effect? It can make the vocal sound off. Have you tried using the EQ? Sometimes if you adjust the bass and treble it will sound better. Also the dimensions and materials of a room affect sound quality.
