LAS VEGAS, Jan. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic today
debuted the new 2012 lineup of Home Theater Systems.
Utilizing state-of-the-art technology to produce superior sound
quality, the SC-HTB550, SC-HTB350 and SC-HTB20 Home Theater System
models, have been developed to offer users design-oriented products
that enhance their home entertainment experience.
The new SC-HTB series of Home Theater Systems feature slim and
stylish designs with multi-positional, detachable speakers for
flexible layout options in the home. Users can choose a
modern horizontal layout for a wall-mount set-up or TV-sized stand,
or detach to create two separate freestanding vertical speakers for
a classic tabletop style. The Home Theater Systems are
equipped with a wireless subwoofer so users can freely place it
anywhere in a room without concern for messy wiring.
With the new SC-HTB series, users can even enjoy high-quality
home theater sound when the television is turned off. With
the Wireless Music Streaming with Bluetooth® function, users can
listen to their favorite music from Bluetooth-compatible devices
without having to plug the device into a docking station or hook it
into the sound system.
Each system's high-quality sound employs an Anti-Jitter Digital
Amplifier to eliminate distortion and clearly direct sound to
produce pure, brilliant audio. A Down Firing Subwoofer
produces powerful bass which is achieved through the downward
release of sound from the speaker unit and port. With
Clear-mode Dialog, the Home Theater Systems deliver dialog that is
crisp and clear and offer more precise linking of picture and sound
that seems like it is coming directly from the center of the
TV. Additionally, the Dialog Level Control lets users adjust
audio range frequency so dialog is enhanced and stands out from
surround sound. Auto Gain Control provides users a smooth,
automatic adjustment of volume between a movie or television show
and commercial, reducing sudden volume increases.
"Panasonic's SC-HTB series of Home Theater Systems have been
developed to offer users superior sound-quality for a truly
exceptional home theater experience," said Troy Livingston, Product manager, Panasonic
Consumer Marketing Company of North
America, Entertainment Group. "The new
multi-positional speaker design concept was created to offer our
customers various placement options that are both adjustable to
their current circumstances and future proof, while still
maintaining a sleek design style."
The SC-HTB550 and SC-HTB20 models both feature VIERA Link™ which
allows users to operate their VIERA Link compatible Audio/Video
products with one remote. Additionally, these models feature 3D
Signal compatibility for easy configuration of a FULL HD 3D home
theater system by combining a 3D Blu-ray Disc™ player and 3D VIERA
TV, and Audio Return Channel (ARC) which offers users the ability
to connect to a television system with just one HDMI cable and
avoid messy cabling around a television unit.
A luxurious, stainless mesh design makes speaker units visible
for a unique design concept to enhance the ambiance of a home
theater system's high-quality sound. Additionally, the
SC-HTB550 features high-quality stainless mesh with a refined
luster finish.
The new 2012 Panasonic Home Theater Systems will be available in
April 2012. They will be on display at Panasonic booth #9405
at 2012 International CES at the Las
Vegas Convention Center from January
10, 2012 through January 13,
2012.
