SC-PT70 features a 1080p up-conversion function that converts standard definition (720 x 576 pixels) images from DVD sources to high definition (1920 x 1080 pixels) images. These up-converted signals draw out the maximum performance of an HDMI compatible 1080p HDTV, giving you vivid, sharp and exceptionally detailed high-resolution images to enjoy.

Easy Setup is a very convenient function that allows anyone to easily set up the home cinema system with any type of TV by simply following the on-screen instructions. Anyone can then easily set it up by following the directions on the screen, for movie enjoyment.

You can select speaker layout based on your room size. 5.1ch surround layout provides the best surround image for larger space. 2.1ch space saving layout, easier setting, maintaining good surround image in smaller spaces.

After using the home cinema system, SC-PT70 is automatically turned off when you return to TV operation using the VIERA Link menu. * 2009 VIERA TV ** For Home Cinema System, to activate Intelligent Auto Standby, both video and audio input switching is necessary.

In the past, when you were watching a movie late at night with the volume turned down, the surround effect would be lost. Not with Whisper-mode Surround. It compensates for the sound pressure level of the low-frequency component which contains the signals that affect the surround effect, so you’re enveloped in a rich surround sound even when watching movies at low volume.
