Panasonic says the SC-HC05 and SC-HC55 are equipped with Bluetooth Re-Master circuitry, "which compensates for audio signals that are lost during Bluetooth wireless transmission, thus further enhancing the quality of digital music."
The SC-HC55 sports a motorized, Touch-Free Sensor door that's equipped with a motion sensor, enabling it to open and close by simply passing your hand over it.
Your iPhone or iPod docks inside.
SC-BTT270 HTIB
Panasonic trotted out three new Full HD 3D Blu-ray Disc home-theater systems at the show. They all have built-in Wi-Fi, a universal Dock for iPod/iPhone, and Skype compatibility along with 3D Effect Controller.
