New Information Regarding Panasonic's Blu-ray Home Theater Solution

We come back with more information about Panasonic with its first Blu-ray Disc player (DMP-BD10), matching receiver (SA-XR700) and speaker system (SB-TP1000), which will be available at retail in September 2006. It seems that Panasonic will also debut its first 1080P-capable 65-inch Plasma display (TH-65PX600) in fall 2006 to complete its home theatre system.

"The debut of our first Blu-ray Disc High Definition Home Theater solution, combined with Panasonic's Plasma TVs, allows us to offer consumers the most advanced and complete integrated home theater solution available," said Reid Sullivan, Vice President of Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company's Entertainment Group. "Panasonic is proud to be a leader in the development of cutting edge Blu-ray technology, which is the most significant technological advance in home entertainment since the arrival of the DVD almost a decade ago."

The Panasonic Blu-ray Disc High Definition Home Theater system components feature Panasonic's proprietary EZ-Sync system, which provides HDAVI Control for integrated one-touch operations of the components. Moreover, the receiver and player are said to visually complement the speakers and Plasma TV display.

Panasonic's proprietary P4HD technology performs IP conversion at the pixel level for the finest details, according to the manufacturer. In addition, the DMP-BD10 incorporates a 296MHz, 14bit Video D/A Converter that provides high quality 4x oversampling for 1080i/720p output.

Other features include the Twin Center Speaker Technology that enables you to accurately hear dialog from the center of the Plasma screen regardless of the listening position without a separate center channel speaker, plus Clarity and Range - which includes 32 streams of audio deliver outstanding surround audio that optimizes Blu-ray's potential.
