The SA-BX500 features decoders that are compatible with all the latest 7.1-channel surround sound formats used by the Blu-ray DiscTM standard such as Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio.
The SA-BX500 provides 150 watts per channel and supports up to 7.1-channel of audio output. It delivers the latest 7.1-channel surround sound to recreate powerful ambience rivalling that of cinema systems.
The original Panasonic technology makes it possible for a 5.1-channel speaker system to accurately reproduce 7.1-channel surround sound. You can enjoy virtually the same kind of powerful, lifelike sound and dynamic acoustic presence you get with a 7.1-channel system, even if you don't have enough space for eight speakers.
The SA-BX500 will automatically switch its internal circuits each time it receives a 2-channel signal and reproduce the sound using the bi-amp, bi-wiring system. Thanks to an exclusive, proprietary technology, the speaker cables do not need to be reconnected to switch between 2-channel and 7.1-channel sound. *The front speakers need to be connected in a bi-amp, bi-wiring configuration
Ease of use is outstanding thanks to VIERA Link, which makes it possible to operate connected devices using a single remote controller. For example, the user can control functions such as Auto Lip Synchronization, which adjusts for any lag between image and sound, using only the VIERA TV's remote control.
