Panasonic SC-BT300 7.1 Channel Blu-ray Home Theater System

HDTV is easy. Home-theater Sound systems used to be hard but Panasonic has made it easier than pie (ready-made pie). Blu-Ray extends beyond HDTV in sound. HDTV has 5.1 Channel ability but Blu-Ray offers 7.1 channels. The SC-BT300 boasts seven speakers to envelop viewers in a remarkably true-to-life Surround sound experience.
The front and center channel speakers are made with a bamboo diaphragm which provides a tightly intertwined fiber to deliver greater rigidity and accuracy, resulting in clear reproduction of sounds over a wide frequency range, from massive explosions to metallic clangs. The Subwoofer features a Kelton system with a dual diameter structure to deliver a deep powerful bass. The Smart Set-up guide uses the help of GUI navigation to allow users to set up their SC-BT300 home-theater system for optimum performance. The result is being able to stay at home while enjoying a thrilling, incredibly lifelike Audio performance that rivals a movie theater.
The appeal of Panasonic Blu-ray products goes beyond the breathtaking pictures and sound; the Networking functions open the door to new kinds of entertainment fun. The SC-BT300 can connect to the Internet for downloading bonus content available with Blu-ray Discs and for playing Internet games via BD-Live. This Connectivity is further enhanced with the addition of VIERA-Cast. VIERA-Cast integrates the Amazon Video-on-Demand (VOD) online movie rental service. The Amazon VOD service joins other content options already available on VIERA-Cast, including videos from You Tube, access to online photos via Picasa Web Albums, financial information from Bloomberg News, as well as local weather updates. The possibilities are virtually endless.
It comes with a Universal Dock for iPod, making it easy for iPod users to play their favorite Music or video downloads.
This system is also Green-friendly. It has a power-save mode to protect the green in your pocket. Refinements to the power board dramatically reduce power consumption in standby mode. And by adjusting power consumption as the audio signal changes, you save power during operation as well.
