Connect your TV to the SC-HT920 and you have an instant home theater with power, versatility, and high-quality audio and video.

At the heart of the SC-HT920 is a sophisticated, flexible, easy-to-customize core component for both audio and home theater. The receiver's Dolby Digital and DTS decoders provide crisp, clear sound, and Dolby Pro Logic II Surround yields richness to movies and music. The SC-HT920 has three surround modes: movie, music, and panorama. These settings can be altered to fully customize your audio experience.

Give your sound further definition with the SC-HT920's sound enhancement modes. Panasonic's Sound Field Control features six preset modes for music that can add extra punch to all kinds of musical styles. The Super Surround mode simulates multichannel audio for discs not recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS sound. Panasonic's Center Focus mode enhances the dialogue in movies and TV programs by concentrating it into the center speaker. You can adjust individual speaker levels to create a perfect sound. After all the audio settings meet your approval, you can preserve them in memory to immediately recall them the next time you watch a movie.

The SC-HT920's DVD player produces a remarkably vivid picture and lifelike sound through progressive-scan technology, which yields high-resolution visuals with eye-popping colors and a minimum of onscreen distortion when used with a digital television set. The player also offers a wide variety of viewing tools and options, including variable speed search, slow motion, freeze frame, digital zoom, and a memory function that automatically returns you to the point on the DVD that you last viewed.

In addition to playing regular DVDs, the SC-HT920 plays DVD-RAM, CD, CD-R, MP3, WMA, and JPEG discs. An AM/FM tuner is built into the unit with 30 presets for your favorite stations. The receiver supports a wide array of audio and video components--CD players, tape decks, DVD recorders, VCRs, and more--and has a variety of audio and video inputs, including composite, component, S-video, and digital connections.

The all-inclusive SC-HT920 has a full set of six speakers to create a full, realistic multichannel surround-sound experience in your home theater: two front speakers and two surround speakers with adjustable height speaker stands, a center speaker, and a subwoofer. The primary speakers utilize Panasonic's unique tall, thin design and reach 44 inches tall when the speaker stand is full extended. The front-channel speakers put out 170 watts per channel, the surround speakers have an output of 70 watts per channel, and the subwoofer kicks out 260 watts per channel.

The universal remote control included with the receiver allows you to control the other components in your home theater, as well as all six speakers in the multichannel audio array.

Review & Description

Sony's digital technology brings riveting special effects and exquisite imagery into your home with the DAV-FC7 DVD Dream System. Flawlessly reproducing sound and film, this system features a 5-Disc Slot Loading DVD/SACD/CD Changer with Progressive Scan Output, Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Pro Logic II Decoding, CD-R/RW, Super Audio CD (Multi), and MP3 Playback, JPEG Playback with Slide Show, and an S-Master Full Digital Amplifier. Encounter the ultimate in entertainment excitement - the DAV-FC7. Looking for a home theater system with more style than bulky black boxes can offer? Do complicated setups make your head hurt? Sony's DAV-FC7 Dream system may be the reality for your home-theater fantasies. The compact set features a slot-loading five-disc DVD-Video changer with built-in surround-receiver abilities and color-coded speaker terminals, five satellite speakers, and a separate subwoofer designed to work in concert to deliver spectacular video quality and exhilarating, full-bodied surround sound from both DVD and Super Audio CD (SACD) music sources.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DAV-FC7 stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. Choose from progressive-scan component-video outputs, composite-video, or S-video outputs. (Older TVs may require an RF modulator or video switcher to convert composite- or S-video to a threaded RF coaxial jack.)

Whether watching a DVD or discovering the sonic benefits of SACD, you'll enjoy the DAV-FC7's outstanding, 100-watts-per-channel audio performance (across left, center, right, left/right surround, and subwoofer outputs) from Sony's S-Master full-digital amplifier. Depending on the discs, SACD music releases provide super high-fidelity multichannel and/or stereo sound, using a high-resolution 1-bit converter to exceed the quality potential found in the standard 16-bit compact disc. For added convenience, the system also offers MP3 file playback and JPEG image CD slideshows so you can get the most from your favorite digital media right in the comfort of your living room.

After just minutes of setup time, you can enjoy the DAV-FC7 from the repose of your easy chair with the supplied easy-to-operate Remote Commander remote control. Auxiliary connections include secondary composite- and S-video sources for a camcorder, gaming console, or VCR and a headphone jack.

JVC TH-M303 Home Theater System with 5-Disc DVD Player

Review & Description

N/A Save space while infusing your living room, dorm, or den with a serious shot of style and high-quality audio/video performance. JVC's 5-disc TH-M303 home theater system delivers top-of-the-line progressive-scan video and world-class sound from high-resolution DVD-Audio discs, which feature your favorite albums specially mixed to take advantage of discrete, multichannel surround sound. The system's specially designed surround speakers use JVC's omnidirectional construction, making any room an optimal space for enjoying your movies and music in rich, enveloping surround sound.

The 720-watt (total) system supports most popular optical disc formats, including DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, DVD-RW, DVD-R, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, SVCD, VCD, MP3 CD, JPEG image CD, and WMA/MPEG-4 CD. DVD-Audio offers super high-fidelity (192 kHz/24-bit) sound. DVD-Audio discs provide multichannel and stereo sound, incredible storage capacity, and unique bonus materials not available on regular audio CDs.

JVC's omnidirectional surround speaker feature a driver design that aims midrange and high (treble) frequencies upward and outward in all horizontal directions, covering a much wider area than conventional forward-firing speakers. JVC did extensive research into technologies and designs for the speakers, which now deliver a broad, spacious soundfield to complement the action onscreen. Key to this design is a diffuser that disperses sound, which reflects back from walls and ceilings, similar to what you'd experienced in a surround-equipped movie theater.

Another JVC technology, Smart Surround Setup, makes it easy to set the speaker levels and delay times for your primary listening position. You simply make a sound, such as a hand clap, from your desired listening position, and a built-in microcomputer automatically sets the system sound levels and delay times for optimum multichannel performance.

At the core of the system is a low-profile DVD receiver with a 5-disc changer. It offers the latest image-enhancing benefits, including a 10-bit/54 MHz video digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for detailed images. If, now or later, you're using a high-definition or HD-ready TV or monitor, you'll appreciate the system's Digital Direct Progressive Scan output, which delivers a seamless, flicker-free image closer to what you see in theaters than standard interlaced outputs can produce.

For audiophiles, onboard 192 kHz/24-bit audio DACs maximize the capabilities of DVD-Audio discs as well as more common PCM stereo and Dolby Digital/DTS audio tracks. Dolby Pro Logic II generates 5.1-channel sound from any stereo (2-channel) source, including your MP3 files.

The system's front left/right speakers are powered by a hefty 125 watts per channel, while the center and surround speakers receive 115 watts apiece. The subwoofer drives home your movies' low-frequency effects with 125 watts and a 6-inch cone woofer.

With a redesigned drive mechanism and new algorithms for media identification and parameter optimization, JVC's Express Start feature will deliver the first scene of a movie onscreen in just under 4 seconds (with single-layer discs). JVC's laser pickup offers superior resistance to mistracking resulting from disc warpage and other damage. JVC has developed a new and even higher-performance pickup, officially named "Rolling Pickup," which follows wandering tracks and plays warped discs with impeccable precision.

Other features include analog audio inputs to accommodate a VCR, plus a digital-audio input for a digital satellite receiver. Three video outputs--component-video, S-video, and composite-video--guarantee compatibility with any currently available television or monitor. You also get a high-performance radio tuner with 15 AM and 30 FM station presets, a headphone output for private listening, a choice of 3 onscreen languages (English, French, or Spanish), Express Play start (to bypass DVD menus and get right to your movie), and a multi-brand TV/VCR remote control with a sliding lid.

Review & Description

Perhaps the most revolutionary development since the creation of home-theater surround sound, the Philips LX3750W Home Theater in a Box sound system has wireless rear speakers. This means you don't have to wire the rear surround speakers to the system. That allows easier installation and hook-up. Simply add your own TV and you've got surround sound for all your favorite (compatible) TV programs. Wired Front and Center speakers and subwoofer Wireless rear surround speakers Universal remote control 1 year limited manufacturer's warranty (parts and labor)The perfect theater for homes with standard or high-definition televisions, Philips' style-conscious LX3750W consists of a Dolby Digital/DTS-decoding surround sound receiver with an integrated single-disc progressive-scan DVD/CD player, five satellite speakers, and a powered subwoofer. The DVD drive reads DVD, DVD+RW, and VCD, as well as CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3 CDs, and JPEG/Kodak Picture CDs.

If you're using (or plan to use) a high-definition or HD-ready TV, you'll appreciate the system's progressive scanning, which is referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image. This feature creates a picture with twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD image, giving you sharper, higher resolution images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

The system's 50-watts-per-channel receiver and 50-watt subwoofer deliver a total of 300 watts of home theater power, and the five speakers are acoustically designed to match the receiver's tonal characteristics. The front left, right, and center speakers are magnetically shielded to prevent interference with your TV's image. The tuner offers 40 FM/AM presets.

The receiver features two analog-audio inputs and one analog-audio output, along with two digital-audio inputs (one each coaxial and optical). Three video outputs--composite-, component-, and S-video--accommodate most TVs and monitors.

Review & Description

Home Theater in a Box with 5.1 channel speaker system. 480P Progressive scan Video output, am/fm receiver with 30 pre-setsThe HT-DB120 merges the basic components of a home theater into one compact and silvery system, delivering simplicity and convenience for people seeking quality home entertainment in a surprisingly affordable package. The HT-DB120 spins DVD-Video, video CD, audio CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) CD, as well as Kodak Picture CD/JPEG CD--great for living-room slideshows of your digital photos; you can even pick one to be the wallpaper for the player's onscreen menu.

The amplifier distributes 40 watts per channel to each of the system's 5 compact satellite speakers (left, center, right, and left/right surround), while the standalone subwoofer packs a potent 50 watts.

All major movie surround signals are decoded and routed to their appropriate speakers: Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II (which generates 5.1 surround from any stereo source, whether movie or music), and DTS 5.1-channel surround sound. The system includes an AM/FM radio tuner with 30 preset memory settings, and a headphone jack for private or late-night listening.

The system's progressive-scan component-video output prepares you for the future, with the ability to use the system in conjunction with a high-definition or HD-ready television. Smooth progressive-scan images are free from even the slightest hint of blurring or distortion, bringing new realism to DVD movies and other selections.

The HT-DB120 also performs 3:2 pulldown detection--an unexpected inclusion at this price. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24-frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; reverse 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.
