Panny DMP-UB900 With SA-BT205 Speakers?

[Lowdg]

My SA-BT205 started smoking and was quickly powered off.

I can either see about having it repaired or move towards Ultra HD.

I'd like to stay with Panasonic though. They don't offer an Ultra HD home cinema system yet.

Does anyone know if the DMP-UB900 will drive the old unit's speakers? Panasonic's help desk said it would but could offer no guarantee.

The speaker connections will have to be changed to phono to connect to the DMP-UB900. Will that affect the sound quality?

The panasonic DMP-UB900 will NOT drive any speakers at all, you will need an AV reciever for that.

+1. Panasonic DMP-UB900 doesn't have an in-built amplifier to drive speakers. I'm afraid your entire system needs changing, speakers included.
