Panasonic SC-BTT362 (SCBTT362)

Flat screen LED, LCD and Plasma HDTV can produce stunning imagery which exudes accuracy, depth and colour. The problem with a television and the desire to produce even flatter and thinner technology, it does not promote the ability to include great quality audio systems. Although the speaker systems perform a service, they do not mirror the images displayed on screen. For an easy to live with system that will correct this, check out the Panasonic SC-BTT362.

The focus of the Panasonic SCBTT362 is on delivery of great audio without the need for a full 5.1 speaker system. Basing a speaker set up around a 2.1 configuration means that all the channels ie 5.1 channels of information are presented by the 2 left and right speakers and the additional downward firing sub woofer. This means that you simply need to position the 2 front speakers and sub woofer and have less clutter (and cables) for the centre and rear speakers.

To drive the speakers and to give the ultimate in clarity and high resolution audio, the Panasonic SC-BTT362 includes Dolby Digital True HD and DTS HD Master Audio. These lossless processors allow any Blu Ray soundtrack to be conveyed exactly as it was intended by the producer. This gives extra power to any Blu Ray movie, allowing every nuance of audio detail to be conveyed, so you will never miss a beat.

This is not simply about the audio. Bundled with the Panasonic SCBTT362 is a very useful Blu Ray DVD player which means that you can achieve the very best imagery available on the market at full 1080p resolution. If you own a high def tv, then this will allow you to view your flat screen at its ultimate very best. It is also backwards compatible so if you load up any of your back catalogue of DVD they will be upscaled to 1080p also giving a welcome added polish to any older movies.

To bring you the very best in multimedia, the excellent Panasonic SC-BTT362 comes with all the Smart Tv operations you would expect from some of the very best HDTVs on the market. Incorporating Wifi Wireless technology means that you have the choice to either hard wire, or go wire free with the aid of a wireless router/home hub. This gives you access to Apps to get the very best of the internet displayed right on your widescreen tv. Facebook, Flickr, Twitter are only a click away. As is catchup tv like BBC iPlay so no missing your favourite programming. Being DLNA certified means you can also network your Windows 7 computer and play back any computer downloaded content or stored video or music.

The Panasonic SC-BTT362 has VIERA CAST with Skype which lets you enjoy real time communication with friends and family and with a Wi-Fi system built in the main unit you can enjoy VIERA CAST without having to connect the Blu-ray Disc player with a LAN cable or wireless LAN adaptor. VIERA CAST is a very handy feature allowing you to view your You Tube Videos with ease.

To keep the feature list mounting, the Panasonic SC-BTT362EBK has an iPhone and iPod docking station on a discrete drawer at the front of the machine so you can playback your favourite iTunes. USB inputs allow simple connection of a smartphone, external Hard Disc Drive or USB dongle so you can playback any stored video or music footage. Finally dual HDMI inputs allow for ease of connection of other High Def equipment like a Playstation Games Machine, X Box or satellite / cable box eg Tivo.

It adds a further dimension to all your home entertainment needs and delivers this in a simple to use, discrete to place, attractive and contemporary fashion that can be enjoyed by all of the family.
