2x Gradation Levels - True-to-Life Presence T(tau)'s digital signal processing circuits also double the gradation compared with conventional systems, from 256 shades to 512. This provides finer image processing and smoother image gradation, which result in an extremely lifelike picture with remarkable depth.
2x Horizontal Density - Sharper Image Detail T(tau) also doubles the sampling number per scanning line compared with conventional systems from 916 to 1,832. This reduces picture noise and delivers a sharper image with exceptional detail.
2x Vertical Density - Flicker-Free Pictures In T(tau)'s GIGA Progressive/100 Hz scan system, the density of the scanning lines is doubled, giving you crisper, flicker-free pictures. Also, T(tau) automatically selects the scanning system best suited to the image source: 100 Hz scan images for PAL sources (such as ordinary TV broadcasts) or Progressive Scan images for DVD, LD and other NTSC sources. (Or you can manully select a scan system using the remote control).

3CCD 3 CCD Cameras contain individual chips that each process one of the three primary colours reproducing a far clearer and brighter image.
3D Y/C Digital Comb Filter The 3D Y/C Digital Comb filter performs field-by-field comparisons of the television image to accurate separate the colour from black-and-white information. It removes dot crawl and hanging dots, both horizontally and vertically.
4:3 TV Zoom Function When watching a widescreen-format DVD movie on a conventional 4:3 aspect ratio TV, this feature allows you to enlarge the screen image in order to eliminate the black bars on the top and bottom of the screen.
5-Disc Changer with 5 Direct Play Keys All new Panasonic Mini Systems are equipped with a 5-CD Changer. Enabling storage of up to five CD's in a compact unit. This handy feature lets you enjoy continuous, programmed, random and other play modes with five discs. A special mechanism in this 5-Disc Changer minimises the conventional changer problems of complex operation and time-consuming disc changing.
5.1 Channel Surround Capability The dolby digital and DTS 5.1 channel surround sound systems give you six channels of discrete digital audio. Dialogue, background music and other effects are distinctly reproduced for extraordinary realism.
9-Point Digital Zoom This function divides the screen into nine zones (or points) and lets you enlarge the image in any one zone to two or three times in each direction and display it on the full screen. Use this function, which is easy to operate with the remote control, to give your presentation greater impact.
13-hour Digital Delay Start Timer Pre-programme the bread bakery, up to 13 hours ahead of time, so you can wake up or come home to fresh, hot bread anytime you wish.
35x Jet Search Lets you visually search a 1 hour recording in EP Mode in just 100 seconds.
43 Second Jet Rewind Rewinds a 180 minute tape in 43 seconds without damage.
50% Brighter Images 50% Increase in Brightness T(tau) GIGA Projection TV models feature an advanced screen design that improves picture brightness by 50% compared with previous models. A thin diffusion layer applied only to the area near the screen surface minimises internal reflection and light scattering, to achieve greater light output and a brighter picture. Black stripes fill in the vertical groove edges of the lenticular screen surface, reducing external reflection and boosting contrast. A prism around the edge of the back surface of the fresnel screen minimises brightness variation between the screen centre and edges, making images more uniformly bright. This adds up to deep, bright, incredibly true-to-life images across a giant screen - images that deliver a most compelling viewing experience.
54 MHz 10-bit D/A Converter A D/A converter using 54 MHz over sampling helps bring out the stunning beautiful picture quality of the DVD player models equipped with progressive scanning capability. By processing the DVD video signal at 4 times the original 13.5 MHz rate, this technology provides vivid and finely textured image reproduction. To provide a magnificent picture, the DVD image data receives 10-bit processing for faithful reproduction that extends to delicate signal details.
100 Hz Digital Scan Conventional TV's display 50 images per second (PAL). The 100 Hz Digital Scan doubles the image display rate to 100 per second. This replaces the flickering with a picture that's smooth, steady, and easy to view.
142 Hour Extended Recording Time With our DMR-E85H, you can record up to 142 hours on the built-in hard disk. You can then edit the material before transferring it to DVD-R or DVD-RAM discs, which hold up to 8 hours of material on a single-sided disc (or up to 16 hours on a double-sided 9.4 GB DVD-RAM disc). There's a variety of recording modes from which to choose, or, simply use the Flexible Recording mode (FR), which calculates the time remaining in your program, as well as the unused space remaining on the disc, and automatically records at the highest picture quality setting that the remaining space will allow.
x200 High Speed Scan with Progress Indicator x200 High Speed Scan enables fast-forward/reverse at up to 200 times normal speed. You can scan a two-hour movie in about 40 seconds, offering a quick way to access desired scenes. There's also the Progress Indicator Function, which displays a scale at the top of the screen for at-a-glance confirmation of your current playback location and remaining play time.
720p/1080i Upconversion When the DVD-S97 is connected to a HDMI compatible monitor, DVD images can be upconverted to 720p or 1080i for output. The converted images have much higher resolution than the 480p images of conventional component output.
750x Jet Rewind This handy feature allows you to completely rewind a 180 minute tape at 750 times faster than normal speed in about 43 seconds. The tape is not subjected to excessive loads during high-speed rewind eliminating tape stretching and wear.
