Panasonic SC-PT953 DVD Home Theater System

About The Panasonic SC-PT953 DVD Home Theater System:

Amazing Wireless Freedom!
With a wireless rear speaker, you can place the speaker wherever you like, without the annoying clutter of cables. You can even expand your music listening into three additional rooms with the SH-FX85 wireless multi-room speaker kit (sold separately).

Amazingly Vivid Picture
The SC-PT953 gives you the astonishingly high image quality of today's Panasonic HD technology, the 1080p up-conversion function converts standard definition (720 x 480 pixels) images from DVDs to high definition (1920 x 1080 pixels).

That means you'll get the most out of your HDMI-compatible HDTV, with sharp and exceptionally detailed high-resolution images. And unlike ordinary video up-converters that produce images with thicker edges and decreased sharpness, the HD Enhancer keeps edges crisp and clear, for outstanding detail.

Intensely Rich Sound
Enhance your home theater system with an incredible combination of Panasonic sound technology and 1100 watts of power.

Super Surround puts you in the action with lifelike sound from every angle, and a Four-Step Subwoofer Level Control puts you in command, with rich sound effects you can hear and feel.

Bring it all together
Panasonic home theater systems are great for watching movies, hands down.  But the FUN doesn't stop there!

The SC-PT953 also comes equipped to deliver exceptional sound quality from portable audio players and other new music sources. So go ahead and listen to your favorite music on your iPod® by adding the Universal Dock for iPod® (sold separately).

Your favorite XM stations, also, come alive with the amazing sonic clarity of the SC-PT953 by Panasonic.

Smart Theater with Simple Operation
It's never been easier to use both Dolby Pro Logic II and Super Surround —These functions create a multi-channel sound effect from CD, DVD, and digital media alongside many other sources. One button is all it takes: simply press the "DPLII/S.SRD" button on the remote control and the system recognizes whether the source is a disc or some other input.
