| Panasonic's new home theaters in a box feature 5-disc dvd changers, 5.1-channel processingFor the ultimate in home theater convenience and flexibility, Panasonic introduces a pair of new "systems in a box" featuring five-disc DVD changers and built-in Dolby1 Digital processing."These new systems make great sounding home theater easier than ever," says Alberto Reggiani, national marketing manager, Technics Home Audio Division. "Everything the consumer needs is all in one convenient package, making these new systems easy to buy, easy to install, and easy to operate." Models SC-HT290D and SC-HT70 are great for any home theater environment, but are compact enough for use in smaller rooms. This allows even those with limited space to bring the "movie theater" experience into their living room or den. Also, since everything needed for surround sound entertainment is included, set-up is simple. The "all in one" concept also ensures all the components are acoustically matched for optimum performance. Boasting robust amplifiers to power the sets' six included speakers, either system will envelope viewers in movie soundtracks. Because one of those speakers is a subwoofer, these systems can deliver the full benefits of 5.1-channel surround from DVDs or digital satellite broadcasts encoded in Dolby Digital. Both home theater systems can also produce six different listening "environments" with Sound Field Control. Options include "Arena," "Live," and "Club" and any of the six can add a distinct flavor or mood to the audio. The units' five-disc DVD changers - which can also play audio CDs - let users store and enjoy favorite movies at the touch of a button. Able to provide an evening's worth of film viewing or musical entertainment with no hassle, the changers are also ideal for the increasing number of multiple-disc DVD sets. A variety of play options, including random play (disc/tray), repeat play (disc/track) and chapter programming let users customize the experience. In addition, model SC-HT290D allows any four discs to be changed while the fifth is playing. Speedy access time helps minimize the lull between discs. Both systems boast great visual appeal, with silver front panels and rich-looking silver speakers that will accent just about any room. The SC-HT290D uses separate components for the amplifier and DVD changer; model SC-HT70 combines them in one. Model SC-HT70 Capable of delivering stunning surround sound, the SC-HT70 is equipped with a built-in 5-disc DVD/CD changer and a Dolby Digital processor. Sound is delivered through a two-way center speaker and four satellite units, all of which can be placed anywhere in the room. Also included is a newly redesigned, free-standing subwoofer. This speaker, which includes a four-step level control, is smaller, sleeker and more compact than last year's model, yet boasts the same powerful output. Besides Sound Field Control, the system uses digital signal processing to optimize the sound for the primary listening area. An included universal remote control operates all receiver and DVD functions as well as most brands of TVs and satellite receivers. The SC-HT70 pumps out 240 watts of power to the six Dolby Digital channels. Model SC-HT290D The SC-HT290D delivers a commanding 100 watts to each of the six channels, for wall-shaking audio. The set's subwoofer and five satellite speakers - all with a two-way, two speaker configuration - are easy to set up. This model has the same sound processing capabilities as the SC-HT70, but also has a built-in dts2 processor. An alternative to Dolby Digital, dts produces smooth, richly detailed surround sound and is found on a fast growing number of DVDs and audio CDs. Between Dolby Digital and dts, viewers/listeners will find themselves in surround sound nirvana. Both models include a four-step subwoofer level control and a universal remote control.
