DESCRIPTION

With 1000 watts (RMS) of total power the Panasonic SC-BT230 Blu-ray Home Theater System has the audio power to fill a large living room but it's small enough to fit in a den or bedroom. It's versatile too. It can play a wide variety of Blu-ray, DVD and CD formats and it can do all sorts of neat tricks like zooming in the picture when you want to examine a portion of a JPEG picture in greater detail. You'll see that detail sharply thanks to features like the BT230's 148.5MHz/12-bit video digital to analog converter (DAC) and its HDMI 1.4 output. Of course if you don't go online with your Blu-ray player you're missing out on a lot of fun. Just plug your BT230 into your broadband router or modem or you can purchase an optional Wi-Fi adapter that plugs into the BT230's USB port if you'd prefer to go wireless. On the Net you'll find an ever-expanding choice of free, paid and subscription based services that include YouTube, Netflix, Slacker and Pandora.
