Cinema Surround is a state-of-the-art Panasonic technology that produces impressive cinema-like surround sound. 3D Cinema Surround in the 2012 models provides authentic surround sound through a total of 30 real and virtual speakers. Sound is perceived as coming from the correct direction thanks to Panasonic’s proprietary direction perception control technology made possible by years of research. 3D Cinema Surround delivers a surround sound environment that satisfies like never before.

Based on the phenomenal MASH noise shaping technology used for many years in Panasonic products, the Anti-Jitter Digital Amplifier markedly reduces jitter and distortion that can affect audio clarity, producing pure brilliant sound. The result is high quality sound with a full surround effect that rivals that of a real home cinema system.

Panasonic upgraded its home AV online platform from VIERA CAST to VIERA Connect in Autumn 2011. This new platform not only offers users greater convenience but greatly enhances enjoyment as well. Now, you can enjoy an even wider variety of Internet content with family and friends from the comfort of your living room. *Additional services are available through VIERA Connect. Network content services are operated by their respective service providers, and service may be discontinued either temporarily or permanently without notice.

DLNA-certified Blu-ray Disc™ Home Cinema Sytem is easy to use with your home network. Share and enjoy digital photos (JPEG), music (MP3, WMA*) and videos (AVCHD, WMV*) by simply connecting to a home network (LAN). For example, you can install a special app on your smartphone and use it to access a DLNA-certified PC via a Wi-Fi router in another room. The DIGA recorder and PC work as a DLNA server where your collection of movies, photos and videos is stored. *WMA and WMV playback only via DLNA, from a Windows 7 or later PC.

Network Drive Access provides Blu-ray Disc™ Home Cinema System with an alternative network file access platform. You can enjoy pictures, videos and music on a shared folder on your Windows PC or Network Attached Storage (NAS).
