Manufacturer's Description

Wireless Home Cinema System

Speaker cables are completely unnecessary with the SC-ZT1. This means you no longer have to worry about tripping over cables, or put up with the hassle of hiding cables under your carpet. Audio data is sent uncompressed over a wireless 2.4-GHz frequency band to ensure high-quality sound. This wireless configuration keeps your home cinema system neat and uncluttered.

Even though the SC-ZT1 is a 2-speaker system, Panasonic’s virtual technology lets you enjoy Dolby® TrueHD and DTS™-HD 7.1-channel surround sound by combining it with a DMP-BD80 Blu-ray DiscTM player. If you don’t have the space to install eight speakers, you can still enjoy lifelike sounds that rival 7.1-channel systems.

A unique pole design has been created by using Panasonic’s newly developed slim and flat type speakers. By arranging four speakers vertically inside the pole, a parallel sound system is achieved. This provides ideal listening conditions from virtually any position, standing or sitting. Also, because the sound is produced in a parallel configuration, it remains crisp and clear with minimal noise from ceiling or floor reflections.

This long-stroke woofer, with a diameter of approximately 12cm, is built into the speaker stand and generates low-frequency sounds that are close to those in the range of a subwoofer. Because it uses a Down-Fire structure, which releases the sound facing downward toward the floor, powerful and deep bass sounds are achieved with a compact body.
