I bought my Technics SA-EH790 new in 2003 for €799 in Argos which was a fair bit of wedge then. It has come with me in over 5 house moves over the years and is still in use daily as the output sound for the TV... In the last 17 years I've blasted the volume up full 350 watts so many times and it never ever failed on me, the bass is incredible and you can actually hear a fan whirring down when the volume is decreased haha! I've stuck a Logitech Bluetooth receiver on it also to bring it up to date... This product is one of the best investments I've ever made tbf...ill keep it for years yet, love it!

bought mine around 2003 i think. I was in my early 20s so it was quite an investment (around 750€ if i recall correctly) Still got it to this day and it works perfectly even after 5 houses moves, some time spent in the cave because my girlfriend didn't like how big it was (I'm still talking about the hifi here). It takes some space indeed but man that sound quality is still awesome. Totally beats that Yamaha soundbar i bought for the tv for 500€. Today I was thinking about buying new speakers for my computer but i ended up plugging the EH790 to my pc soundcard using a RC to S/PDIF converter and I wonder why I waited that long to do that. I don't know much about hifi system these days but that was some awesome quality product back in the days and still is. I'll never part with it.

Just bought this system from marketplace for £50, its so impressive! Bought a Bluetooth receiver and it streams from phone too. Amazing quality and stood the test of time. Thanks for the video!

I have this exact system at home bought it 20 years ago and still love it.

I love my Technics my wife bought me this exact one in July 2002. And yes I still own it. Never had any problems with it. And no it's changing CD noise hasn't bothered me.

I have had a Technics STCH404 since I was a really young kid, a system about a decade this one's senior. It's so good and introduced me to cassettes, vinyl and even CDs to a degree in the early 2000s when some of them were well on their way out.

Nice video, I've owned this from new bought it in November 2003 off my first paycheck from my first proper job. Everything on it still works perfectly a testament to Technics/Panasonic build quality. This system also has 6 channel input allowing you to connect dvd audio players so you can listen to 5.1 material. I can't part with it, i would say its better than my sony 7.2 av receiver which is considerably newer.

I picked one up last week with the original SB-DV290 8ohms 120 watt bi-wirable speakers for £35...hooked up my turntable to the DVD(AUX) ports on the back and what a great sound it makes!

I still have my system in very good condition. A 5 DVD changer. I bought it to watch music videos/concerts, and movies in surround sound. I think it has aged well. It still looks futuristic. The sound quality is fantastic with plenty to alter the soundscape. My system is about 17 years old but is looked after.

I bought an Sh-eh750 second hand a good 10 years ago & it sounds great! I'm streaming Spotify and everything else from the optical out of my TV via a small gizmo to the inputs and playing back everything in stereo rather than pseudo surround which might have been convenient but seems a tad beyond me!

Bad boy sound system, im hooked up to a pioneer djm 500 and 2 technics 1210 mk5g's this system dvd/aux input handles everything I've thrown at it at loud sound aswell, thing just thumps away!

I did get mine repaired a fair while ago,but today still going strong with no issues.

I still have an original DV290D in perfect condition.. have the main bi wired speakers, (using decent ofc cables) on stands and it made such a difference to the soundscape. System still pushed out a decent sound thru that class H+ amp.. never used the cassette player since new.. the 5 disk cd/dvd player has not missed a beat in almost 20yrs.. still love it and won't part with it!

I have Technics SC-DV280 having 5 DVD changer just fresh piece Manufactured in 2002, 18 years old working like Brand as well as have SC-DV290 5 DVD changer Manufacture in 2003 both worthless system amazing in sound quality as well in parts quality outstanding performance still in 2020 and will stay with me in 2050 if _____ God better know

I sumbled upon your video while looking up more info on mine. I have the SA-EH780 system in practically mint condition with its original speakers. It looks identical to the 790, but I suppose the only difference is the 790 plays mp3/wma files, while the 780 is a plain CD audio only.

Still got mine from back in the day and the bass rocks the 3 story house I now live in. Works like it was new I’ll never sell it it’s a masterpiece of bassline

I was gifted this sound system by my uncle as it was sitting in his garage. I refuse to get rid of it has everything and the sound is amazing. It's a shame someone broke off half the technic logo on one of the speaker covers but was thinking of 3d printing and painting a replacement. Also got the surround sound system but don't seem to gain much from them but not really tried it thoroughly

I purchased this system in 2019 for £40 and wow what a system. Didn't have the original speakers with ut but just bought them on eBay yesterday.

Nice video! Im big fan of old stereo systems. If you can get your hands on Technics CA-1080 or CH700/CH900, buy them and you won't be dissappointed.

If you have pushed in dust covers the careful application of a vacuum hose can pop them back out, you may need to reduce the amount suction before hand though.

I have the technics from 1994 same range, the build quality and sound is EXCELLENT. Much much better and balanced that all new sound bars I have heard.

Mine is CH 770, one of the last classic components in black colour. I prefer that design. Technics/Panasonic systems are great but those made roughly after 1994 would sound much better if they had manual equalizer instead of just presets+2 step-extra bass.

You might be off a little bit with a date mate and price I’m sure I bought my sh-dv170 In 1999 maybe 2000 at the latest for just over a £1000 brand-new That is the version that’s us to 5 this DVD change and 5.1 surroundsound Still got it still works perfect will never get rid of it supersystem

Yo .. I just found in a gully three of the stacks .. My question will this work with out the 2nd up from the deck, the floor .

Did this hifi play CD-R and CD RW too? I had one, my CD player broke down and now I've only kept the amp and tuner to connect other things to, great!

We are looking for just the pin connector tor for our same system, would you have any idea where we could purchase have one from. I've been looking online thisweekend but so far no luck.

When i connect the aux theough the rca on this device it is much quiter than if there was a cd playing. Do you know how i can fix this? I thought it would use the amp and produce a greater sound.

What’s the difference between the shdv 250 and the 290???? Please tell me as I just brought the 250 instead of the 290

Iv had this system for about 15 years! Moved it around quite a few times. Now I can't get any sound through one speaker but don't think it's he actual speaker, I think it's the hole in the amp that the speaker wire goes into! Do I need a new amp?

What a massive sound

Like I’ve previously said mate I’ve had one of these from date of release love it to bits but want to replace the wiring on the speakers if you wouldn’t mind helping me what would you suggest far the best Type of speaker wire loads of different types as you know also have you any recommendations for a sub woofer would love to add one to it

Bought it in 2000 about 900 euros. Great

Can Technics CH530 units also wotk with Technichs CH-515? Are the Technics separates/components interchangeable?

I still have mine but got it repaired in 2013.i use it connected to my 📒 lcd for sound and the aux input to play music from my tablet.the only issue that's wrong with it,is the buttons on the shift dial are malfunctioning a little,like I would push across for manual on the graphic equaliser,and it will go to the next setting like soft.would last another 10 years if I could get the board replaced on the amp.

Used to have a Technics SC-EH60 from late 90s till early 2010. It was quite a powerhouse, pretty warm sounding.Only thing the CD charger was too noisy!

I bought one can't I remeber the model thats why im looking it had surround sound with small back speakers with metal grill black case and it would light up green it looked and sounded awsome that was back in 1996-97. I see some kids poked tweeters in little £$%ards they cant help it can they this brings back memories Im looking for one now.

Thanks for the track Fastlane - Everyone Falls In Love ft. Sara Diamond (Francois Remix)

How do I get my stereo to clearly receive radio stations. I only have 1 channel

I think I just bought one of these (or similar) off eBay as part of a £10, collection only, job lot of systems and speakers. Really, the Sony speakers (if they work) make it worth it, but I'll be interested to see if this system works too.

Hello everyone, I have from 1996 a mini technics hifi with se-ca10 vu meter amplifier and still sounds good, my stereo tuner just the screen is dead, can I connect a stereo tuner from another mini hifi technics will it work, thanks in advance!

Sadly tape deck 2 won't play,i think the right hand capstan gear wheel might be damaged or even broken.I opened the cover and all the drive belts are working.So might need to send the whole hifi in for a repair.She is my pride and joy bought her brand new in 2005 for 450 quid she still sounds lovely.Any idea what could the fault be?

I had this system with the DVD changer. I ended up selling it, as I got tired of the noisy, slow, clunky disc changer. And also, I was not impressed with the effects from the Dolby Pro Logi c surround system. Also the sound wasn't great, the treble sounded splashy, and the bass sounded boxy and boomy. It is not a system you can listen to for extended periods of time. I ended up buying an Onkyo Dolby Digital receiver, Sony BluRay player, and a set of decent Monitor Audio speakers, and the difference is like night and day. This range of systems from Technics are what they are, and that is a convenient system for playing music, but far from being serious HiFi.

Hi, iv got this system but it doesn't play cd's any ideas?

Hi could you please tell me what cable I need for 5 cd changer and where to buy it thankyou

i imported mine from England 8 years ago, now when i switch it on i can play music for less than 6 mins it just cuts the sound off while it will be all the units. i need help on how to fix this

Dear you have more Technics hi-fi reviews videos please shear I need guidance to proper use of Technics SC-DV280 and 290 I have both at time Pin Packed buy from EBAY UK recently

Does the system have a preamp?

Hi there,I know this video is 2 years old but I really hope you still answer comments and are still going strong, because I need your help. I have this eh 790 system with the correct badass speakers and 3 surround too. It's awesome and I love it. However the cassette player has gone wrong and just either won't play or plays a very warped sound and is fucking tapes up. I bought a replacement component (just the DV 290 cassette deck) and that one had exactly the same problem. Can you help? Do you know what may be causing this? And what I can do? This deck doesn't seem easy to work on. Everything else is cool and I run my Blu-ray player through it to listen to Beatles Blu-ray. Master audio, and I run my audio technica record player through it too using dvd aux. Please

👍👍👍

Can you attach a turntable to this system?

They stopped making them and improving them. I think the stereo sound processor was way ahead of its time. Would be nice if Panasonic made a new one with Bluetooth and Digital Radio. These do have an aux in though if you want to add a Bluetooth receiver. I think more so these days people are moving to using sound bars and PC 2.1 surround speakers as they use less wattage than stereo whilst packing a punch of a bass boom that won't upset your neighbors. That is OK because these have aux out and headphone out of you want ditch stereo high wattage and cut the electric bill.

How do you use an aux cable on this?

Hi can I connect my phone via aux cable with this stereo?

Hay alguna manera de hacer reset?

I've just been given on of these lol

Hi where can I get one I love that system

Io ho il 750 o problemi al caricatore CD lo aperto sono usciti due spessori tondi trasparenti non so dove e come vanno messi qualcuno può aiutarmi. Grazie
