Description:

Designed with home theater in mind, Panasonic's Dolby Digital-decoding SC-AK600 delivers an impressive 320 watts total (at 1 kHz with 10 percent THD) through its main, center, and rear-surround speakers. Just plug your DVD player's optical or coaxial digital-audio output into one of the SC-AK600's digital inputs, and away you go. The system also delivers four-channel Dolby Pro Logic soundtracks from non-digital sources like broadcast television and VHS tapes.

The SC-AK600 includes a five-disc CD changer with Panasonic's exclusive MASH (multistage noise shaping technology) 1-bit digital-to-analog converter for clear, accurate sound reproduction. And the system plays not only pre-recorded CDs but home-brewed CD-Rs and CD-RWs, too.

Delivering the bass that's so important to movie sound, the three-way left and right speakers have side-firing super woofers built-in, pounding out the low frequencies without consuming additional shelf space. Super Sound EQ boosts the low, medium, and high frequencies at the touch of a button, and four preset equalizer curves are also included (designated heavy, soft, clear, and vocal). To further ensure powerful, clear, virtually distortion-free audio, the system features a biamplified, biwired configuration, which splits the amplifier's labor between the speaker drivers for more efficient power usage.

Other features include a digital tuner with 24-station presets (12 AM, 12 FM), feather-touch cassette controls, tape program search (TPS) for quick track access with cassettes, programmable timers with sleep mode, and wireless remote controls. Its sophisticated silver and pewter design matches any home décor.
