Description:

Get the best of both worlds: a compact shelf stereo system that also doubles as a 30-watt home theater receiver and progressive-scan DVD player. The Panasonic SC-PM39D features a 5-disc DVD changer, 3-way bass reflex speakers, and built-in DTS, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Pro Logic decoding. It also includes a digital AM/FM tuner and feather-touch cassette deck with 9-track tape program sensor, enabling you to program your tape playback like a CD.

DVD playback features include variable zoom, cinema mode, and dialog enhancer. The SC-PM39D also offers both a preset EQ (Heavy, Clear, Soft, Vocal, Flat) and manual EQ, subwoofer output, component-video out, and S-video out.

In addition to DVD video discs, the SC-PM39D is also compatible with DVD-Audio, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, video and audio CDs, MP3, WMA, JPEG, and CD-R/-RW discs. It also supports HighMAT (High-Performance Media Access Technology), a technology codeveloped by Panasonic and Microsoft that improves the method of storing, arranging, and playing back digital photo, music, and video collections on recordable discs, such as DVD and CD recordable media.

Tech Talk
Dolby Digital: Digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories that provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high-quality digital audio found in Dobly Digital cinema audio systems. Because all of the channel data are recorded discretely, Dolby Digital offers good channel separation and little sound deterioration due to the digital channel data processing. It conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo, and there is a discrete subwoofer channel.
