Panasonic SA-BX500 Home Theater A/V Receiver

The SA-BX500 features a decoder for the HD Audio (Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master Audio) now adopted in Blu-Ray Disc, so users can enjoy the deep, lifelike ambience of 7.1-channel Surround Sound that is a Blu-ray hallmark. Those with only a 5.1-channel speaker system can also enjoy 7.1-channel surround sound thanks to the SA-BX500's 7.1channel Virtual Surround Sound function. The Receiver also boasts advanced Bi-Amp/Bi-Wiring that drives each of the high frequency and low-frequency speaker units with a separate amp. Panasonic’s exclusive proprietary drive system also has an automatic internal Circuit switching function that eliminates the need to reconfigure speaker connections when switching between 7.1-channel and Stereo sound. Ease-of-use is further enhanced thanks to VIERA Link; a technology that allows the consumer to operate VIERA Link equipped Home Theater components with a single remote. For example, the user can use the VIERA TV’s remote control to operate functions such as Auto Lip Synchronization, which adjusts for any lag between image and sound. This high-performance receiver also automatically optimizes the acoustic field according to the speaker positions.
