While we re on the topic of Panasonic, I ll also mention two other new home theater products from the company.
The SC-HT06 is a 2.1ch audio system with Dolby Virtual Speaker (DVS) technology. This is to fool you into thinking you have a real surround sound setup. The amplifier is provides a total 300W of output, and has three digital inputs: two optical and one coaxial.
Dual Amp technology is the focus of the SA-XR55 amplifier, meaning you can provide twice the amount of power to your speakers. It has features out the wazoo: 7.1ch audio, 192kHz sampling all the way from input to output, and improvement of mid-range tones using VGDA (Variable Gain Digital Amplifier). You ll probably find a crapload of things to like about the SA-XR55, assuming you can afford the 55,000 yen price tag.
