Description:

The Panasonic CT32HX40 has a 32-inch PureFlat screen with a two-tuner picture-in-picture, split-screen display, a progressive scan doubler for an incredibly sharp picture, and a 3-D comb filter to remove dot crawl and increase color separation.

HDTV compatible, this TV is capable of receiving and playing digital TV programming that is broadcast in either 1080i or 720p format. The TV must be connected to a DTV set-top box by its component video inputs and switched to DTV mode (an external, over-the-air antenna may be required). Other video features include a fine-pitch picture tube to enable an image with much finer detail, horizontal edge correction to sharpen the edges of objects in the picture, and color transient improvement that minimizes color smear at the edges of images to ensure clear, distinct colors.

For audio, the CT32HX40 features a built-in stereo/SAP decoder with dbx noise reduction to receive both Separate Audio Program (SAP) and TV stereo telecasts where available. A dbx noise reduction system helps provide clear, crisp sound with proper stereo separation, and 3-D Spatializer surround sound creates an enveloping 3-D sound experience from just two speakers. A center-channel audio input jack and a full host of audio-video jacks (front and rear) ensure that this TV will integrate seamlessly with your home theater system or allow you to build a full audio system around it. Separate bass, treble, and balance controls let you adjust the sound to your personal preference, and the Artificial Intelligence sound level control controls the volume level automatically to prevent wide variations in volume among different TV channels and types of programming.

Convenience features include 16-channel favorite-channel scan, a 181-channel NTSC tuner, built-in closed-caption decoder, and channel labeling capability (create your own captions for channels) with 48 presets. The V-chip program lock out helps parents lock out unwanted programming, and the programmable timer allows you to program the TV to turn itself on and off at a selected channel and time every day. The Roller Guide menu system lets you select features or make adjustments to your television with icons that are placed on a roller at the left edge of the picture so that icons don't cover the screen.

The CT32HX40 comes with a Director lighted home theater remote control that operates most current audio and video equipment, making it the only remote you'll need to operate your home cinema components.

The Panasonic CT32HX40 comes with a one-year warranty on parts and labor.
