| TOKYO: Consumer durables and electronics
company Panasonic claims to have taken the home theatre experience
to the next level with the introduction of the SC-HT1000 Recordable
DVD Home Theatre Sound System. The SC-HT1000 Recordable DVD Home Theatre
Sound System will be available in September 2003 at a price of $999.95.
A press release states that this new home theatre system has a
sleek and slim main unit with two "tall-boy" front speakers,
each on an adjustable stand for layout flexibility. By raising or
lowering the stands to match the speakers' height with the TV screen,
the user can experience optimal theatre sound performance.
The OmniCast Surround Speakers create a wider listening area with
realistic acoustic performance similar to a movie theatre, says
the release. The tweeter and woofer in the OmniCast speakers are
positioned upwards in the cabinet with a diffusion board directly
in front of the tweeter to achieve the necessary reflection and
dispersion of sound.
The home theatre receiver comprises of a built-in DTS and Dolby
digital decoder, Dolby Surround Pro Logic II, Quartz synthesized
digital AM/FM tuning system, and a universal remote control that's
compatible with many TV/VCR brands.
The DVD video recorder can play discs in DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-Audio,
DVD-Video, CD-Audio, Video CD, and CD-R/RW formats. It's able to
record discs in DVD-RAM and DVD-R formats using XP, SP, LP, and
EP recording modes, which range respectively with recording times
of one, two, four and six hours.
