P4HD

(Pixel Precision Progressive Processing for HD)
To get the best HD images from a BD-Video disc, you need a player that renders high-quality progressive images, expresses motion smoothly, and draws sharp diagonal lines. P4HD processes more than 15 billion pixels per second and applies the optimum processing to every pixel in the video data on the disc. The result is images with exceptional resolution. This is Blu-Ray, this is high definition.
Precise Pixel Generation

BD-Video supports a number of formats. For example, highest-quality format 1920 x 1080 pixels, 1080P can be recorded at any of four different frame rates - 59.94i, 50i, 23.976p and 24p - and the compression format can be MPEG2, MPEG4 AVC or VC-1. The BD-Home Theatre must detect these instantly and perform progressive conversion where necessary.
Both for the de-interlacing and scaling, super-high-speed P4HD generates each pixel correctly according to information obtained from up to 60 surrounding pixels. Applying progressive processing to huge amounts of data, it delivers images of striking beauty.
148.5MHz/12bit Video D/A Converter

SC-BT200 incorporates a 148.5MHz, 12bit Video D/A Converter from Analog Devices Co. Ltd. that provides high-quality 4x oversampling for 1080i/720p output. NSV (noise shaping video) processing shifts the noise component to an unused band to further boost the signal-to-noise ratio. And finally, we added extremely fine 12bit signal processing that renders ultra-fine images with smooth gradation. Thanks to technologies like these, the SC-BT207 can theoretically reproduce up to nearly 4400 billion colours.
SD Card Slot with AVCHD Support for Photo & Video Viewing

You can view your photos and video images on your television from SD Card. AVCHD Playback means your SD Card High Definition Camcorder SD card can be quickly and easily viewed on your TV from your SC-BT200 Blu-ray Home Theatre
192kHz/24bit Audio D/A Converter for All Channels

The SC-BT207 uses a 192kHz/24bit D/A converter for each of the eight channels to achieve truly superb surround sound. The D/A converter uses Advanced Segment D-A processing, which applies multi-bit processing to establish the audio reference and 1bit processing to render the delicate nuances. These combine to create a remarkably beautiful sound that has both power and purity.
Bamboo Diaphragm Speaker

Use of rigid, low-density bamboo in the woofer and tweeter cones of the center and front speakers helps achieve a highly responsive sound.
Auto Spreaker Set Up

Optimum Speaker setting is easily achieved without any cumbersome setting procedures.
*Non HDMI cables cannot be utilised. Panasonic HDMI cables are highly recommended




High Total Power Output - 1000W (RMS) for Outstanding Audio Performance

All you have to do to enjoy a new level of operation convenience is hook up to a new VIErA Plasma television. When you want home theater entertainment, for example, just press a button on the remote. Power to all the components switches on, TV input and other settings are automatically adjusted, and the show's ready to begin. It's that easy.

Kelton Subwoofer

Thanks to a Kelton subwoofer, the SC-BT200 outputs deep, thunderous bass sounds that make viewing a truly awesome entertainment experience. The Kelton subwoofer has two internal chambers. A drive unit mounted in the rear chamber vibrates the front chamber, causing a large, 25cm Passive Radiator in the front chamber to vibrate and produce bass sounds. Because the front chamber functions as an acoustic filter, there is minimal unwanted noise. The thinness and high compliance of the passive radiator help achieve an extremely clean, powerful and responsive bass sound.
Rear Wireless Speaker Ready - With the Purchase of the SH-FX70

You can upgrade with the purchase of the SH-FX70 to a wireless home theatre system (eliminating wires running from the centre unit to the rear speakers).

I ordered the DVD HD recorder.

I wanted it anyway.

For 1080P, I'll prob get a PS3.

As for surround sound, I already have a sound sound receiver.

Personally I would get much more use out of the DVD HD recorder than Blu-Ray.

FYI, Panasonic are really slow in dispatching, I sent in my receipt 3 weeks ago and still nothing.

THEY'RE ALL GGOOO0O0O0O0O0ONNNNNNE!!!!!!

Bugger. DVD recorder it is. Still though.

The Promoter accepts no responsibility should the delivery take longer than eight (8) weeks for reasons beyond its reasonable control.

Did you have to claim online, get a confirmation email then post that confirmation email quoting a reference number to Panasonic and play the waiting game?

That's how I interpreted the below Terms and Conditions anyway.

To claim, individuals must register their purchase online by visiting www.panasonic.com.au/bonushd, following the prompts to the competition claim form, inputting the requested details including their full name, postal address, valid email address, serial number and model number from their product purchased, store of purchase, date of purchase, credit card details for the payment of $17.50 for postage and fulfilment and nominate which gift they would like to receive (gifts specified in clause 8) and submitting the fully completed online form. Payment of $17.50 for postage and fulfilment can only be made via credit card and payment will be processed at the time the claim is submitted online.

Claimants will then receive an email from the Promoter confirming that their claim form has been submitted and will include a unique claim number for future tracking of the claim (“Confirmation Email”).

Claimants must then print off their online claim form, make record of their unique claim number, and mail both the online claim form and their original purchase receipt to ‘Panasonic VIErA Bonus Offer’ PO Box 566, Eastern Suburbs MC, NSW 2004. All mail must be posted within 21 days of the purchase date found on the purchase receipt in order to claim a gift. Final Claims close last mail on 14/01/10.

yeah I know it's up to 8 weeks, but I can't see why they can't process it within 1 week.

It took them 2 weeks to confirm they received my receipt.

anyway 8 weeks is just slack.

I can order something from overseas and it will be at my door within a week.

Sony was much much quicker to process/ship their PS3s with their LCD promotion.

[JohnBu]

Another Rant.

We purchased 2 plasmas so we ordered 1 Blu-ray (uncle) and 1 HD recorder (for me).

2 claim forms in the same envelope.

the first was processed on the 13th and the other on the 15th.

WTF. same envelope, 2 days delay on the second.
