Amazon.com Product Description
The SA-HE75 home theater receiver from Panasonic is a sophisticated, easy-to-customize, and affordable core component for both home audio and home theater systems. The receiver's Dolby Digital and DTS decoders provide crisp, clear sound, and Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound yields richness to movies and music alike. The SA-HE75S has three surround modes: movie, music, and panorama. The adjustable music and panorama settings add surround effects to stereo sources, and can be altered to fully customize your audio experience.

The SA-HE75S features a unique set of controls that lets you customize your speaker configuration. When you set up your speakers, you can optimize the sound by selecting the appropriate speaker size. The large speaker setting reproduces a full sound range, particularly lower levels of bass. For small speakers, the setting makes automatic adjustments to the bass range reproduction to avoid distortion and speaker damage. The preset adjustments can also be manually changed. The versatile receiver allows you to configure a full array of speakers of all size in a surround-sound arrangement.

You can also focus the sound of your home theater by inputting the distance of your front, center, and surround speakers from your primary seating location. The easy setup can be adjusted quickly if you change the layout of your room, or if you add speakers.

Panasonic's sound field control gives your audio experience further definition with six presets: hall, club, live, theater, simulated surround, and party (which configures stereo sound throughout the room.). You can further enhance the sound by adding a subwoofer that can be controlled through the receiver. Dynamic range compression allows you to listen to Dolby Digital music and video at low volumes while maintaining audio clarity. It's a perfect option for late-night viewing or listening.

The SA-HE75S receiver supports a wide array of audio and video components: CD players, tape decks (with a tape monitor feature), DVD players, VCRs, and more. An AM/FM tuner is built into the unit. The universal remote control included with the receiver allows you to control the other components in your home theater. The SA-HE75S puts out 100 watts per channel, with less than 0.9% total harmonic distortion.
