Home Theater Expert — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 12:11:07 +0000

HDTV is easy but setting up a fine home-theater surround sound system can be an arduous challenge. That’s because most living rooms haven’t been designed to accept 5 surround speakers and a subwoofer for 5.1 channel surround. Panasonic SC-PTX7 Jukebox Home Theater Audio System Server offers a unique home-theater surround sound solution. By using a proprietary twin-center sound system, the surround effect is provided with front left, center, and right satellite speakers thereby not requiring the use of rear speakers. The receiver offers an AM/FM radio, and adds XM satellite radio capability (XM service subscription and home antenna are required). There’s also an integrated DVD player and an 80GB capacity hard-drive for storing additional media. The Panasonic Jukebox Theater system also features EZ-Sync HDAVI Control one-touch operation with Panasonic Plasma televisions, Dolby Virtual Speaker support, DTS decoding, and integrated HDMI upscaling, PC Ethernet, and port for portable music player connectivity. The system includes bass-ported left and right speakers, center-channel speakers with computer-designed directional reflectors integrated into the left/right speaker enclosures, and a high-power, long-throw subwoofer. Ultimately, a virtual-surround effect is created through 3.1 channels affording a grand sense of home-theater reality without disturbing your environment.
