CES 2008: Panasonic unveils SC-BT100 Blu-ray enabled wireless Home Theatre In a Box system
Panasonic has shown off its latest Home Theatre in a Box (HTIB) system, now integrating a Blu-ray player. The SC-BT100 looks to be a 5.1-channel system offering two wireless rear speakers. However, it can also be upgraded to a full 7.1-channel wireless surround system, with the optional purchase of two side speakers and a transceiver.
The Blu-ray Disc player features Final Profile for picture-in-picture and audio mixing functions.
The subwoofer is Kelton-design with a passive radiator and a driver anchored to the cabinet to reduce vibration and noise while delivering more dynamic bass.
All speakers, including the center channel speakers, are made with a bamboo diaphragm which provides a tightly intertwined fiber to deliver greater rigidly and accuracy. To allow viewers to enjoy surround sound effects without disturbing others, the system even has Whisper-mode Surround which dynamically boosts bass and surround-channel levels as the volume is turned down to provide a full surround effect even at low volume.
The receiver can handle a variety of the latest audio codecs, has a built-in iPod dock, and memory card slot.
Available from March, price to be confirmed.
