Staying In Just Got More Exciting Than Going Out
Take your favorite movies to the next level with the Panasonic full-HD Blu-ray Disc(TM) home theater system. Blu-ray discs give you superior sound, stunning HD-quality images, and exciting new interactive capabilities like Final Standard Profile for enhanced commentary, audio mixing and picture-in-picture features previously unthinkable in the DVD format. With Blu-ray, you'll never have to leave the couch for a big-screen quality movie experience.

Images So Real, You Feel Like You're in the Picture
Combining a PHL Reference Chroma Processor with advanced P4HD (Pixel Precision Progressive Processing) imaging technology, UniPhier(R) — the Precise Digital Video processor — reproduces crisp, natural colors that are extremely faithful to the original movie. It does this by up-sampling the color information in decoded video signals, while the super high-speed P4HD up-converts content recorded in 480i/p, 720p or 1080i format to 1080p by correctly generating each pixel according to information drawn from up to 60 surrounding pixels. The image motion of each pixel is then categorized into one of 16 levels, from stationary to super fast. Image quality is further enhanced by Diagonal Processing, which creates smooth, sharp diagonal lines, and 3:2 Pull-Down, which optimizes the processing accordingly for film or video making the images look natural and lifelike. In addition, the BT100's HDMI output is Deep Color compatible, with 4,096 steps of gradation for even smoother, finer-quality images that meet Hollywood's stringent demands, so you can experience movies just the way they were meant to be experienced.

Incredible Sound Completes the Hi-Def Experience
With Precise Digital Audio, Blu-ray's beautiful images are complemented by exceptionally pure, accurate sound thanks to the included 5.1 channel surround sound of Dolby(R) TrueHD and DTS-HD(TM) and expandability to advanced 7.1 channel surround sound. Use of a highly rigid bamboo material in the center and front speakers helps achieve an extremely pure, clean sound. A Kelton Subwoofer system with a dual diameter structure delivers a deep, powerful bass. Whisper-Mode Surround allows you to enjoy rich surround sound even when watching movies at low volume.

Easy Media Linking
The built-in Universal Dock for iPod(R) gives you a great new way to enjoy music and video. Just slip your iPod(R) into the cradle and enjoy. The dock charges your iPod(R), allows you to use the home theater remote to control the iPod(R), has on-screen audio menus, and also plays back iPod(R) video. You can also use the system's convenient SD card slot, which allows easy viewing of hi-def videos and photos on your VIERA(R) HDTV.

Easy to Use and Set Up with VIERA(R) Link
The newly enhanced VIERA(R) Link displays a menu on the TV screen, making it easier to operate your connected Blu-ray Disc(TM) home theater system. For example, you can display a menu with a list of the movies or music stored on your iPod(R), and use the VIERA remote control unit to select one and begin playback.
