3D Technology Checklist

This product is 3D-related. To help you get a great 3D experience, use the checklist below to ensure you have everything you need. 3D viewing requires:

	A Display First, you'll need a 3D-ready display--whether it's a 3D HDTV, 3D projector, or 3D computer monitor. These displays have more processing power than standard 2D models for displaying 3D images in rapid succession.
	A Source Your display may be ready for 3D playback, but you'll still need a device to read 3D content. This can be a cable box with a subscription to a 3D channel, a 3D Blu-ray Disc player, or a PlayStation 3 system.
	3D Content 3D content--the actual entertainment, in other words--will be played back using the source mentioned above, whether it's a 3D broadcast from your cable provider, a 3D Blu-ray Disc, or a 3D video game.
	3D Glasses For now, the vast majority of 3D HDTVs require glasses for 3D viewing. Many use powered "active shutter" glasses, others polarized "passive" glasses. You'll need one pair per viewer, and they'll have to be compatible with your display, whether they're the same brand, or a pair of "universal" glasses designed to work across brands.
	HDMI Cable To connect your source (such as a 3D Blu-ray Disc player) to your display, you'll need a high-speed HDMI cable. Cables with this designation feature bandwidth speeds up to 10.2 Gbps (gigabits per second), for carrying the 3D signal without any loss of quality.

Step into the 3D World. Watch 3D movies at home with Full HD 3D technology with the SC-BTT370.

FULL HD 3D Blu-ray Disc Playback

Advanced 2D image technology accumulated over the years atthe Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory (PHL) has also been applied to 3D image playback, allowing high quality images to approach original film quality. Lifelike 3D images with dramatic leaping effects and enhanced depth, luster and texture are beautifully reproduced.

3D Effect Controller

The 3D Effect Controller lets you moderate the leaping effects of 3D images. It also lets you adjust the amount of depth, so you can view expansive images and enjoy movies with exactly the kind of 3D effects you want.

2D-3D Conversion

The 2D-3D Conversion makes it possible to convert images from DVDs and Blu-ray Discs into 3D with natural depth perception. So you can watch your prized DVD movie collection in 3D with real-life depth, for even greater viewing enjoyment.

The True to Cinema Picture Concept

Panasonic has worked with Hollywood film studios at a laboratory that we have maintained in Hollywood over a long period of time to research image reproduction technologies. These activities have enabled us to accumulate the know-how necessary to faithfully reproduce original movie images on Blu-ray Discs. Now, we have applied these advanced 2D technologies directly to 3D movie reproduction, to achieve truly beautiful images with even more lifelike realism, depth and texture.

Skype Video Messaging

Quick access to the menu screen

You can instantly access the Skype menu screen by simply pressing the Skype button on the remote control. This is very handy because it lets you easily access the menu screen even while you're watching a TV program or movie.

Incoming Ringtones

While watching a TV program or movie, a ringtone from the player tells you that you have a call. The ringtone also rings during standby mode.

*The incoming call can not be received during Blu-ray Disc playback

Auto Answering Video Message

Record an original message onto an SD Memory Card* and set it as your answering voice message. The message will respond automatically when you receive a phone call while you're away.

*Minimum 512MB SD card required *SD card not included

Video Mail Recording

Callers can also record messages for you onto the SD Memory Card, so you can confirm the messages when you return home.

Cinema Surround Plus

The Virtual Speakers created by Cinema Surround compensate for the lack of a surround effect to provide natural, smooth surround sound. Starting with the 2011 models, the same number of Virtual Speakers are arranged in the vertical direction as in the horizontal direction. This offers an enhanced surround effect not only horizontally but also vertically, so you can enjoy your favorite movies with a level of dynamic surround sound that you've never before experienced.

Clear Sound Digital Amplifier

The Clear Sound Digital Amplifier analyzes the difference between the input and output audio signals, and makes the necessary adjustments to produce an output signal with the same low distortion as the input signal. This results in sound that is highly faithful to the original sound source.

Built-in Wi-Fi System

A Wi-Fi system is built right into the main unit, so you can enjoy VIERA CAST and BD-Live content without having to connect the Blu-ray Disc player with a LAN cable or wireless LAN adaptor.

*A wireless LAN environment is required.

ARC (Audio Return Channel)

The home theater system is compatible with the ARC (Audio Return Channel) feature. ARC makes it possible to receive audio signals from the TV, on top of the preexisting HDMI function of sending audio/video signals to the TV with just one cable. This feature simplifies connection by eliminating the audio cable connection between the TV audio output and the main unit's audio input.

* ARC compatible TV is required.

VIERA CAST

VIERA CAST has been further enhanced with CinemaNow and VUDU, which allow you to stream movies. You can also access other content from the special VIERA CAST screen. And you can check weather and stock information on other sites.

Cons of Panasonic SC-BTT770

Sound Quality: Although the sound of the Panasonic SC-BTT770 is not bad, and the bass comes through very well, there are some problems with the highs that are not quite a true copy of the intended sound of a movie. That said, this set will still take you far above the quality you get with the standard TV speakers.

VIERA CAST Limitations: Although VIERA CAST Internet function is definitely an advantage of this home theater system, there are some limitations when compared with other Panasonic online services. For example, use the Viera Connect service (included on HDTV instead of Blu-ray disc players) a number of apps that let you connect to top Internet services, offering much more space than VIERA CAST.

If you buy the Panasonic SC-BTT770?

The shortcomings of the Panasonic SC-BTT770 are almost negligible. For the price, you get a lot built into this home theater system. Not only will it look good in the living room (without taking up too much space), but it will let you connect a good connection to online services, and will play both 2D and 3D DVDs to great quality.
