HighMAT (High-Performance Media Access Technology)
Co-developed by Panasonic and Microsoft, HighMAT was designed to significantly improve interoperability for digital media content between PCs4 and popular electronics devices such as CD players, car stereos and DVD players. HighMAT is a digital-media standard that provides a dramatically improved method of storing, arranging and playing back personal digital photo, music and video collections on recordable discs such as CD-RW media. At this time, our HighMAT-compatible Panasonic products have HighMAT Level 2 functionality which includes compatibility only with audio files and JPEG still image files.

Depth Enhancer
This advanced picture noise reduction system helps give you sharp images with incredible depth. Instead of affecting the entire image, our depth enhancer feature only processes an image’s background, helping to leave the delicate details of the main subject intact. The end results are images with startling depth, true-to-life skin tones, and a soft, movie-like background focus.

Double Re-Master Processing
This feature increases the data density in CD or DVD signals to reproduce even high-frequency sounds outside the audible range, creating incredible sound quality. It can also be used in conjunction with compressed formats like MP3 and WMA to compensate for signal loss, giving you a full, rich sound. (View all models with this feature)
Built-in DTS® & Dolby Digital® 5.1-ch Surround Decoders
When you play DVD movies encoded with DTS®6 or Dolby Digital®7 soundtracks, the built-in decoder processes all six channels of audio information (left front, right front, center, left-surround, right-surround and low-frequency effects) without the need for an external decoder, and with the right audio components, lets you enjoy the amazing fidelity of discrete 5.1 channel surround sound. The decoder also allows you to control speaker configuration. (View all models with a Dolby Digital Decoder)
